All Together Now

Seattle’s restaurant community came together to support one of their own on Sunday, January 27 at Breaking Bread: A Benefit Dinner for Restaurant Zoë chef Matt Farrer, who is bravely battling colon cancer. In addition to a five-course tasting menu at Canlis prepared by many notable local chefs, an after-party at 1927 Events featured a whole roasted pig. In total, the event, cohosted by Mark and Brian Canlis of Canlis restaurant and Scott and Heather Staples of Restaurant Zoë, raised more than $40,000 for Farrer and his ongoing medical care.
