If your charitable spending budget is around $350 and you want to taste the wares of several terrific Seattle chefs, as well as meet acclaimed Alinea chef, Life, On the Line author and cancer survivor Grant Achatz during a half-hour VIP reception, the upcoming 20th Anniversary Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research dinner on May 22nd is an unmatched opportunity.

Achatz will speak while diners enjoy a five-course menu prepared by local chefs Dalis Chea of Herban Feast; Kevin Davis of Steelhead Diner and Blueacre Seafood; Jason Franey of Canlis; Daisley Gordon of Cafe Campagne; Christine Keff of Flying Fish; Brian McCracken and Dana Tough of Spur Gastropub and Tavern Law; Scott Staples of Quinn’s, Uneeda Burger and Zoë; Johnathan Sundstrom of Lark; and Jerry Traunfeld of Poppy.  That’s a whole lot of culinary star power.

The menu sounds awesome: 

*shaved coeur d’agneau (that’s lamb heart to you and me) with fava beans, ramps and spring onions

*foie gras terrine with rhubarb, sorrel and burnt rose hips

*hot smoked king salmon with herbs
