Meet & Greet for my sister’s wedding at her friends’ awesome house, sporting an amazing roof-deck view of Seattle. The food by Chef Jason Wilson (James Beard 2009 Award Nominee) of Crush Restaurant. I wasn’t able to stay too long, but some fancy hors d’Å“uvres and drinks here. Watermelon that looked like cubes of tuna on a stick (that’s fancy, right?), tuna tartare springrolls, pickled vegetables, pate, figs, some geoduck ceviche on endive lettuce.
Jason Wilson is one of the biggest douchebags of the Seattle dining scene. Yeah, he can cook, but you will not meet a cockier chef in town. Plus, he’s a complete shit to his staff — that’s why most of them jumped ship this summer, including his Chef de Cuisine who’s the driving force behind the restaurant.
