Our Foodportunity ticket giveaway is over, and our lucky winner of two tickets to the Nov. 2 event is entry #26, Natalie. Her choice for who she most wanted to meet in Seattle’s food scene was Tom Douglas, who proved a popular pick — he tied for first place, along with Maria Hines of Tilth. Douglas actually was at the last Foodportunity, serving up bites from an enormous roast pig, as was Thierry Rautureau, another top vote-getter. For those who chose Tamara Murphy or Ethan Stowell, you’re in luck — both will be at the event, speaking on the 6 p.m. panel discussion along with Kurt Dammeier.
I’ve had the lucky pleasure of meeting most of the people listed — Matt Dillon, Jerry Traunfeld, Armandino Batali, and so on. For now, I’m most intrigued with the choice of the first commenter on the post, who wanted to meet Nathan Myrhvold. I’ve been hearing for years about the cookbook Myrhvold is developing out of his interest in molecular gastronomy, and David Chang recently told Brad Thomas Parsons that he expects it “will be the be-all end-all of cookbooks.”
Thank you, everyone, for playing, and thanks to food-loving event founder Keren Brown for donating the tickets. If you didn’t win but still want to attend, some are still available at Brown Paper Tickets here.
