Can it get any better? First the farmer's market, now a street food fair—all in our backyard. The genius behind Skillet, Josh Henderson, has teamed up with cured meats connoisseur Gabriel Claycamp of Swinery to make this a reality.
The announcement came in an e-mail on Friday from foodie group Culinary Communion. Starting in August, the Street Food Fair will be on Pontius in the Cascade neighborhood, serving food and drink from 10-12 vendors late into the evening (midnight - 1:00am!) on what I presume will likely be a weekend night.
See an excerpt from the e-mail with more details after the jump, and be sure to keep an eye on the blog that has been setup at seattlestreetfood.org for more announcements.
The Street Food Fair will start in August 2009 in South Lake Union. Next year, we will have multiple locations and move around Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Expect a fun experience with about 10-12 vendors, a huge variety of foods, and best of all: Late hours. In a city that is famous for rolling up the sidewalks around 9:30pm, we will be open until midnight/1am. Beer and Wine will be available as well as oysters, donuts, Swinery bacon, and Skillet everything etc. Our friend and culinary coach, Tamara Murphy, is involved, helping Josh and Gabe make this fair the best in can be. Who knows what food she will be preparing, but you know it will be good!
We need VENDORS!!! If you have a favorite chef, go bug him/her! Tell them they need a booth at the street fair. The Seattle Food Scene can only survive and thrive if everybody gets involved. Want a Singaporean type street market? Us too! Help us find the right cooks. You all are the core of the Seattle Foodie Scene. CC students run this town.
