We received the following information about the Chef Tribute Dinner Series from Nell’s Restaurant (6804 East Green Lake Way N):

We periodically honor a past chef with a dinner representing his or her cuisine in conjunction with lively commentary and paired wines. The Chef Tribute dinners bring some of our great culinary icons to life!

February 25, we will honor Sheila Lukins [1942-2009], legendary author of Silver Palate Cookbook series and Silver Palate cook shops in New York. She was also the food editor of Parade for 23 years. Ms. Lukins will be remembered for her contribution to the popularization of gourmet cooking in the 70s and 80s. Join us for a fun-filled evening in honor of Sheila Lukins! Dinner is $80 person and begins with passed hors d’oeuvres at 6:15pm. Reservations are available at (206) 524-4044 or www.opentable.com.
