Join the Seattle chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association on August 4 at Columbia Tower Club. Have fun with fellow foodies, network with professionals in the communication industry, and get inspired.
Some of the most exciting chefs working in the Seattle food scene today are donating their time to demonstrate recipes that will be printed in a program book and available for each attendee to take home.
Meet the celebrity chefs:
