I’m not sure where to even begin in reporting back on last night’s dinner with the James Beard nominees for Best Chef Northwest. My head won’t clear until I finish digesting the food, which should happen sometime later today.

A full report is forthcoming. But reverting to the “a picture tells a thousand words” adage, check out our first dish (which followed some amazing passed appetizers) once seated: Ethan Stowell’s Shigoku oysters with uni, radish and cucumber. That plate wasn’t to share with tablemates. Six per person – with halibut, pork cheek on trotter cake, a mini-burger with foie gras, lamb, and dessert to follow.

I’m still in a food coma…
