There is lots of really cool culinary related stuff happening in September and October in the Seattle Area. Here are my picks for your viewing pleasure:
September 9 – 11th – Hopfest at Brouwer’s Café in Fremont. Hoppy beers paired with hoppy animals, what more can you want.
Saturday September 17th – Mobile Food Rodeo behind the Interbay Whole Foods. Tickets in advance for $7 or $10 at the door. There will be 20+ food trucks, all of the usual suspects and 3 trucks from Portland. Check out my review of the last time they had a paid event like this here.
Sunday September 18th – Eat A Bug at the Burke Museum. Before you go EEEWWW! Don’t knock it before you have tried it. Bugs are actually quite tasty (try a silkworm – they taste like mulberry), extremely healthy and raising bugs as food is better for you and the environment than the factory farmed meat and veggies in your fridge.
Wednesday September 28th – Craft Beer + Food at the Yacht Club at Lake Union. A pairing of food and beer with 10 restaurants and 10 breweries from the Seattle Area. Probably worth the $30 for admission.
Sunday October 2nd – The Original Mobile Chowdown in West Seattle. Not to be confused with the Mobile Food Rodeo, this one is free. Same general lineup as the Rodeo.
Saturday October 8th and Sunday October 9th – Great Pumpkin Festival at Elysian Brewing in Georgetown. This year there will be 40+(!!!!) pumpkin beers. Can’t wait for this one. Tickets are available here, here or here.
Monday October 10th – my man crush, Alton Brown, returns to Seattle at the University Bookstore at 7 PM to promote his new book. Not a great venue and a really small space, so I will be getting there early.
Saturday October 22nd and Sunday October 23rd – the Northwest Chocolate Festival returns to the Seattle Center. Two days of chocolate overindulgence. Tickets available here.
