Before we introduce our newest episode, we are saddened by the current landscape of our Seattle Restaurant community. During this time, we urge you to please continue to #supportseattle and do what you can. Purchase gift cards and save it for later, order takeout and delivery, or add a little extra to your tip. It's a trying time right now, but we will weather this and things will get better. Please continue to support. Thanks!
On the 79th episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast, we had the opportunity to interview three of this year's winners from Star Chefs Rising Star Awards. It was a memorable night celebrating up and coming chefs and culinary professionals from Seattle. Each are worthy of the reward in their respective categories. The interviews include Bartender Cera Grindstaff of Stampede, Pastry Chef Crystal Chiu of Canlis, and co-owners Amber Manuguid and Chef Aaron Verzosa of Archipelago. Listen in to three of the best Seattle has to offer. 
In addition, Monica and Nelson recap a week that included receiving large packages of bread and pastries from Franz Bakery, dinner at Lionhead to support small businesses, and a night of wings and pop-a-shot at Wingdome. 
Finally, since all of us will be at home for the foreseeable future, we will all be spending more time in the kitchen making meals. Therefore, we thought it would be fun to tell you about some of our favorite kitchen utensils and instruments we can't live without. Have a listen and hopefully we gave you some new recommendations. 
Thank you so much for downloading and listening. We hope you enjoy the latest episode of the Seattle Foodie Podcast. Happy eating, Seattle!
