Has quail ever been grilled more dramatically or served more deliciously? Hard to imagine! Plus, you know there's escarole in those lentils. Thanks @chicoryweek and @localrootsfarm for making this stunner of a dinner at the Salon del Radicchio happen + @thecorsonbuilding @rainshadowmeats and @thetiderun for cooking such an incredible meal, packed with radicchio (of course) but also so many other autumnal treasures.

It was a real joy to hear Lane Selman and @margarett_maria talk about their new book, RADICCHIO, in Seattle at the beautiful @booklarder bookstore. Siri from @localrootsfarm was a great moderator. I met Lane twenty years ago (gulp!) when I lived in Corvallis and I have enjoyed following her work @culinarybreedingnetwork bringing farmers, plant breeders, and chefs together. This book is gorgeous and an excellent example of next-level agriculture extension work—not only introducing a new crop to a region, but doing the hard work of connecting growers with eaters. Radicchio is now regularly grown in the #PNW and it’s become part of our home and winter holiday meals. We grew it our farm @harmonyfields for a few years before the sheep took over (although it pairs well with sheep cheese😉). Radicchio comes in all shapes and sizes which are explained in the book, along with some amazing recipes. Get a copy today and give this winter vegetable a try, if you haven’t already. #radicchio #bitterisbetter #farming @timberpress

What’s this all about? Back in 2018 we helped dream up the original Sagra del Radicchio, aka Seattle’s premier chicory festival. That glorious event lives on in Portland, but this year we are trying to launch a different ship, the Salon. Have a deep conversation about the nature of bitterness; taste the rainbow of radicchio varieties; and then enjoy a magical meal prepared by some of our favorite Seattle chefs. Please come! It’s October 19th in a beautiful space in Pioneer Square.

THE SALON IS TWO WEEKS AWAY! And you should know what you’re in for if you’re joining us. Siri and Jason (@localrootsfarm) first had the chance to work with Chefs Emily and Russ way back in their early days as farmers, in 2008 and 2009, and they often talk about those ragers on the farm - they sound really fun, and really delicious. Siri writes, “We were all relatively new to farming and cooking, and were full of energy and excitement about authentic farm-to-table food. We were growing a wild assortment of crops, and found immediate connection with a handful of Seattle chefs and restaurant owners.  Truly, radicchio would not be where it is today without the support that we found from Emily @thecorsonbuilding and Renee & Russ at Boat Street Cafe (I miss it so!).  They loved and encouraged us and bought our early and imperfect attempts at growing real Italian radicchio. Both Emily and Russ cooked a number of dinners at our farm, working with just an open fire and a two-burner stove to create some of the most memorable food I’ve ever eaten. We are beyond excited to be working with them again, here in our twentieth year as vegetable farmers, celebrating the obscure vegetable we’ve all had a hand in elevating.” Joining Emily & Russ this year for the Salon feast are Ashley & Stephanie of @thetiderun !! The Tiderun organizes outdoor food experiences that you should DEFINITELY look into if you yearn for a rustic farm dinner (of the olden days, or of your dreams).  Get your tickets before the radicchio CSA folks buy them all! The menu is sounding like a dream, and that’s only half of the evening!! WE ARE SO EXCITED AND FEEL SO LUCKY TO EXIST IN THIS TIMELINE! See you there, bitter friends.

Happy Sunday a tutti! And hi, Seattle! Post-book-release bliss there are *several* events for Seattle’s v rad, v v bitter chicory community. There’s a book talk, a RAD pizza party, and a SALON del Radicchio. This is different from the SAGRA del Radicchio happening in Portland! And I want to tell you specifically about the Salon on this lovely Sunday eve. The Salon del Radicchio is a crazy idea that came from many caffeine- and amaro-fueled chats with @localrootsfarm and @culinarybreedingnetwork about how to get a big rad event back to Seattle. Lane lovingly adopted the Sagra down to Portland for many reasons, and it is positively thriving there as a big tasting event/radicchio party/beans and winter squash included! It is so tasty, it is SO special, and we love it so much!! And still, we wanted something in Seattle!  So we came up with THE SALON. The idea comes from salons during the “age of conversation,” when people would gather to discuss ideas, art, politics, and so on. Sometimes they were seen as safe spaces to discuss controversial ideas; sometimes they were organized by the establishment, sometimes they were organized for rejects. Our salon is organized for radicchio. And we are hosting it in a space that we are absolutely inspired by: @rooftopatrailspur in Pioneer Square! There will be radicchio and vegetable matter decorating the space by @marigoldandmintbotanicals. There will be cool old pictures of radicchio growing and farming from days when Rosa del Veneto was just a sparkle in some nonno’s eye. There will be beautiful food from @thecorsonbuilding @rainshadowmeats and @thetiderun, there will be amari and wine and beer… and there will be conversation! Tickets are $135 and get you in the door, a welcome drink, and a beautiful farm-fresh family-style dinner. Meat will be served, but vegetarians will have plenty to enjoy!  So… join us if you can. The SALON DEL RADICCHIO will feed your belly, and your mind, and your soul, too. WILL WEE SEE YOU THERE? Hope so. Stay bitter, Team Chicory Week

My friends at PAWS reached out to see if I could help spread the word that they have 9 orphaned bear cubs that they are feeding so they can be returned to the wild. If anyone has food, money or gift cards to Costco please send their way. Our animal friends sadly always need our help. Look at these sweet cubs. More details in the comments.
