Fund-raising dinner for Big Brothers / Big Sisters this weekend. For the "Big battle of little tastes," Chef Dan Thiessen of Bellevue's 0/8 Seafood Grill brought his signature dish, scallop sashimi, which once again proved a crowd-pleaser; he won the People's Choice award. Critics Choice went to Queen Anne's Sorrentino for two Sicilian dishes: an eggplant caponata with baby octopus, and a tomato salad with prawns. Yum!
Waterbrook Winery in Walla Walla won the People's Choice award. The critics chose the new Helix wines from Columbia Valley grapes, made by Walla Walla's Reininger Winery.
