FOOD EVENT RECAP: Pike Place Market Sunset Supper

Last Friday was Pike Place Market's annual Sunset Supper. Luckily the heavy rain let up just in time for the event and it was a huge success! Some of the area's best chefs, restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries sampled their delicious food and drinks. This is my favorite food event of the year. To be able to take in the market setting in the evening with great food and drinks is truly an awesome experience!

Proceeds from the Sunset Supper benefit The Market Foundation's mission to end hunger, care for the sick, educate kids, and find homes for those without, right at Pike Place Market. The Market Foundation is the heart of the Market. Their programs allow the diverse community to live and thrive at Pike Place Market. Learn more about The Market Foundation here.

If you didn't have a chance to attend this year, I highly recommend making the Sunset Supper a must-attend event for next year! Also, check out the Pike Up! website to learn all about the Market's expansion!

Please enjoy some pictures from this year's Sunset Supper.....

EVENT RECAP: Bacon and Beer Classic

We received mini glass red Solo tasting cups!

Yesterday at Safeco Field was the Bacon and Beer Classic. It was a day filled with restaurants featuring food samples all with one common ingredient, bacon! There were also breweries sampling over 100 beers. If that wasn't enough, there was entertainment by three bands, and also some fun games to try out. I had a great time at the event! Here are some pictures I took throughout the event. I hope Safeco Field hosts this event again next year!

There was a large crowd for the first session of the Bacon and Beer Classic. Most vendors had long lines.

What else goes great with beer? Pretzels! There was a pretzel necklace-making table.

The Bacon and Beer Classic was a lot of fun! I hope it's back again next year!

Unfortunately, some tasting cups were sacrificed during the Classic. But luckily they provided many good beer tasting samples before their demise.

I would like to thank all the restaurants and breweries for providing such amazing food and beer! Also thanks to Campfire OK, Hey Marseilles, and Creme Tangerine for their great music. And last, but not least, thank you to Safeco Field and all the sponsors and promoters for putting on such a great event! Bacon, beer and a baseball stadium are a winning combination! I hope to see you all again next year! Cheers!
