Are you, or someone you know, a fan of the show Top Chef? Seattle’s own Chef Shota Nakajima is on the show this season — and he’s pulling together some of his chef friends (from this season of Top Chef) to host a special private dinner to benefit SCIDpda’s meal program for low-income CID residents.
Bid on one seat (or up to six seats) of only six available tickets for a private culinary experience with Chef Shota Nakajima (Taku, Adana), Chef Sara Hauman of Soter Vineyards in Portland, OR and Chef Byron Gomez of 7908 in Aspen, CO, who met while filming season 18 of Top Chef in Portland!
The dinner party features a multi-course menu, beverage pairings, special swag and lots of fun Chefy banter.
For a good cause: 100% of proceeds from this auction will fund the distribution of meals to low-income residents in the Chinatown International District (CID) prepared from restaurants in the neighborhood. Many residents in the CID struggle with food insecurity, an issue further complicated by the impacts of COVID-19. This auction and the aforementioned meal program is managed by the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation and Development Authority (SCIDpda).
Auction bidding opens on Friday, April 9, 12:00 PM (Noon) PDT and closes on Friday, April 16, 5:00 PM PDT. Registration is required to bid.
All CDC safety protocols will be adhered to during the private dinner.
