A Cook’s Tour through Tacoma

Junior League of Tacoma cooks

By Bobble Tiki on April 12, 2007

To be brutally honest, Bobble Tiki was happy back in the days when he knew the names of the restaurants, not the chefs. There’s no shame in a hard-working hash slinger staying at the stove and off the Food Network. But instead of humble cooks, Bobble Tiki is confronted with ... bam! Chefs as sitcom stars. Pass the Pepto Bismol, please. However, Bobble Tiki is willing to suspend his curmudgeonly views on the subject when it comes to the rumors of a local Iron Chef competition held at Stadium Bistro.  Fellow Weekly Volcano scribe Jessica Corey-Butler discussed it at length on www.weeklyvolcanospew.com

An exact starting date hasn’t been set.

In the meantime, it’s with certainty that the Junior League of Tacoma will host a cook’s tour through Tacoma’s North End April 21.  A shuttle will leave Annie Wright School at 10 a.m., noon, 2 and 4 p.m. dropping participants off at five kitchens with guest chefs demonstrating culinary techniques.  The cost is $40 per ticket.  To reserve your space, call 253.383.1030.
