If you haven't heard about Smart Catch, you're missing out! From sponsor Vulcan's website: "Smart Catch is a program designed to increase demand and availability of sustainable seafood by working with chefs and restauranteurs. Smart Catch is working with chefs because they have the potential to make a significant impact in sustainable seafood.
The idea and initial funding for Smart Catch came from Vulcan Founder and Chairman Paul G. Allen, a long-time ocean advocate and explorer."
The program launched in Seattle this summer, and nine of the Seattle area's best chefs helped to kick off the program by showing their stuff at a four-night series of pop-up dinners at Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park.
To no one's surprise, these dinners sold out in less than two minutes. I was lucky enough to score four seats, giving two to our local host.
The dinner we attended was curated and cooked by none other than Chef Ron Anderson of Tom Douglas Restaurants and Chef Bobby Palmquist of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
