This is such a wonderful story, we thank you for sharing with us! We love to hear stories like this from Seattle as we are always reassured of the warm hearts and generosity of people from this area. We hope you will continue to have such wonderful experiences, and we too encourage non natives as well as natives to EAT LOCAL!!!!

I am up to the challenge! I get donated food from two local food banks in the Seattle/White Center area and am in awe and amazed at the generosity and graciousness of so many volunteers and in debt to so many local companies and citizens who share money and time and energy amounting in the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of “FREE” food with me! All though I am a Chef, I personally need to keep food costs down for my personal use, as I have two children to feed (through child support),using food from food banks is the only my I can realize food security, as an added benefit, I can keep precious food sources from ending up in a landfill and is also “green” (I use my mountain bike with bike trailer). I like to use my food science knowledge and culinary artist mastery (Chef School@S.S.C.C.) to assemble some of the most locally regional cuisine possible! As a fourth generation Seattle-ite, I especially encourage non natives to EAT LOCAL!!!!!!!!

That is a great idea! Lots of great local places with drinks to choose from. We just had a great tour of the Pike Brewery – highly recommended!
