Eat Local Now 2009
With Chef Bradley Gilberson from Cucina Fresca at the helm and a few high caliber Art Institute Culinary Students the Eat Local Now event in West Seattle was a hit. Chef Gilberson lead the crew to daylight and we all managed to crank out 7 courses of food to over 200 people. It’s the first time I’ve broken a sweat in a kitchen and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
I had a few minutes to talk with Chef Gilberson and ask him about his journey to owning Cucina Fresca and he told me a lot of great things. I would tell you but I’m keeping them for myself… People like Chef Gilberson is the reason I am happy I made to the decision to pursue this whole Chef thing. He broke it down for me and gave me another view on the culinary world. I think there are great things to come and I hope that I will be able to deliver.
Thanks again Chef and Eat Local Now for hosting a great event.

Great celebration. I am happy that you and other students were able to join a great celebration. Local food is the best and I support them 100%. Great pictures.
I don;t go too far to eat. Local food is best because i know there you get the quality within budget.
I wanna be you Eric… GREG
