Kyoto-born, Ginza-trained, revered Seattle chef Shiro Kashiba founded Seattle's first full-service sushi bar in 1967 at Nikko. Since 1994, he has been serving some of the nation's best sushi at his namesake Belltown restaurant (2401 Second Avenue), and mentoring generations of sushi chefs. Today he'll appear in conversation with Bruce Rutledge, co-founder with Yuko Enomoto, of Chin Music Press. Chin Music has just published Shiro: Wit, Wisdom, & Recipes from a Sushi Pioneer in beautiful, loving form, Part-memoir, fine art book, and cookbook, it's filled with photos, ephemera, sushi-making tips, recipes, and stories from Shiro's life. More of that here today. And, following the onstage conversation, we'll have a drawing for a limited number of tickets for tasting some of Shiro's sushi here.
Start: 7:00 pm
North Carolina debutante Jane Borden grew up in genteel Greensboro, where manners mattered and smiles were mandatory. Like many before her, she then set out for Manhattan—first to visit, and then, following a series of jobs such as undercover investigating illegal, Canal Street-fashion knock-offs, ended up staying. This how-I-got-here story is told in her hilarious, smart, thoroughly enjoyable memoir, I Totally Meant to Do That (Broadway). Jane Borden has contributed to Saturday Night Live, New York Times Magazine, and Comedy Central. "Out of all the North Carolina greenhorns who ever navigated the funky streets of twenty-first century New York, she may be my favorite." – Gary Shytengart.
