Food Events Around Town

By Iron Chef Leftovers

A few noteworthy events around Seattle in November for all you foodies out there:

November 8th @ Elliot Bay Book Co. – Mark Kurlansky, author of such memorable works as Salt and Cod (which combine nicely into one dish), reading from his new book Edible Stories. On a related note, I had not realized that his last book was actually about the impact of baseball in San Pedro de Macarois, so I may need to pick that one up.

November 20th @ Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park – Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking. You can be sure if the Iron Chef has no other plans, he will be there to see the man who wrote the seminal work on food and eating. There probably hasn’t been a food book written in the last 20 years that does not cite something from On Food. Yes I have read all 800+ pages cover to cover – it took me a year.

All Month – Dine Around Seattle. What more can you want – 30 restaurants, 3 courses, $30. Oh wait, Seattle Restaurant Week is better.

Don’t forget – November 14th is National Pickle Day.
