Seattle Foodies: Feral Feast is happening TOMORROW!

Greeting fellow blog readers. I have been on a foodie heaven vacation: It started with the celebration of my "last-year-of-my-20's" birthday swaray at the very classy Rob Roy in downtown Seattle (http://www.robroyseattle.com/). There are far too many delicious cocktails to pick a favorite one...
Then, the annual Seattle Restaurant Week (http://seattletimes.com/seattlerestaurantweek/) started mid April and you can purchase a 3-course meal for $28. (Hey, that is less than what it cost to fill my gas tank!) It is a killer deal to go out and try new restaurants and foods you would not normally attend or consume.
On top of that, more birthday meals with friends and happy hour cocktail dates have me out and about verus cooking in for one.

Another tempting and delicious event, this month, for anyone and everyone in the Seattle food scene: Feral Feast! What is it? (Be sure to check out my previous blog post for my review!) A secret "pop-up" dinner hosted at GRUB restaurant (http://www.letsgogrub.com/)  in upper Queen Anne. Every month a new and inspiring menu is created for your tasting pleasure.

What is in store for tomorrow's feast?

Super secret Seattle pop-up dinners: Check out Feral Feasts!

Not only am I a die hard foodie, I am a die hard foodie event attendee. From the major (like Seattle's Food & Wine Festival and Kirkland Uncorked) to minor (blogger meet-ups and Cupcake Camp), attending food events is a (cheap) way to see what fun and fresh dishes are being served in Seattle. I love the variety of vendors, talkative foodies, and seeing the up-and-coming restaurants.

 

What is the latest, and soon to be greatest, event? It is called "Feral Feast," hosted at Grub in Queen Anne (http://www.letsgogrub.com/). I found out about it through word-of-mouth in the foodie event community. It is held on the third Monday of every month (the next dinner is this coming Monday 18th) and is sure to a success. Tip and adult beverages are not included, but will be available for purchase for your delight.

Here is a brief description on next week's "Feral Feast" from the host/Chef:

We are trying a new format for this month's pop up. From the menu below, guests can choose either 3, 4 or 5 dishes for a fixed price of $28, $35 or $44 per person (gratuity and alcohol not included.)

This month's menu is inspired by Spanish cuisine, locally available ingredients and that hope that Spring is just around the corner!
