What makes our tour unique?
Chef’s Tour- Though many tourists are attracted to the famous Pike Place Market every year, local chefs also selectively choose their seasonal produce and proteins daily from the market. This tour gives us a taste of the vendors that supply the best chefs in town with their organic produce and sustainable seafood.
Chef’s Perspective- Our tours are run by chefs who contribute a culinary perspective, telling the story of the Northwest through its food.
Local Taste- We strategically choose our partners to ensure the best quality products of the Northwest are represented.
Unique Samples- Our Chef whips up a few special tastings using our vendor's ingredients to show how some of these products could be prepared. * Chef-made samples are made prior to class
Small Groups- We keep group-size to 10 people and under to provide a more intimate, less touristy experience. This also creates a better dynamic to ask questions, absorb the information and connect with the other group members.
Discount- Receive 10% off all Eat Seattle partner vendors
Purpose- More than just providing great tasting food, our vendors serve as a talking-point to our farming, fishing and produce in the Northwest and what they are doing to maintain higher quality control than the average. Our chef team keeps the tours light-hearted but plant the seed to thinking about some very serious issues in these industries.
