Some of your favorite local chefs are hosting a virtual event series

Grab your apron, laptop, and favorite glass of wine, because Chef Box Live is coming to a kitchen near you.

After years of working together, Chef Matt Lewis of Where Ya At Matt food truck and Sam Minkoff and Cassie Hendrickson from Sound Excursions have joined together to create Chef Box Live: “an exciting lineup of local cooking, cocktail and crafting experiences.”

With top local chefs and bartenders guiding the way, you’ll be able to experience interactive livestream classes such as pasta making with Chef Sabrina Tinsley of Osteria la Spiga to a craft cocktail experience with Erik Hakkinen of Roquette and an evening in the Mediterranean with renowned Seattle Chef Zoi Antonitsas.

“People are really missing the experience of discovering a new favorite restaurant or dish. Similarly, chef’s feel the need to share their creative outlet and watch people enjoy that perfect bite,” said Chef Matt Lewis. “This platform gives both sides of the screen something to look forward to.”

Instead of just a video to be played, guests will enjoy an interactive experience being able to ask questions and hear a response in real-time.

Each class will support chefs and restaurants as they navigate the pandemic world. Here is the upcoming class lineup:

• August 7 – Fun With Rum with Roquette’s Erik Hakkinen
