Five years ago, we threw a celebratory pop-up dinner for our 25th Anniversary \u2014 a smashing success. Now, with our 30th looming<\/a>, we\u2019re setting the stage again. Leslie Mackie, Macrina\u2019s founder, will collaborate with our Savory Team to serve one of her favorite meals to 30 fortunate guests on Thursday, August 10<\/strong>, at our new Maple Leaf caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>. Enter to win two dinner seats by sending your treasured Macrina memory to marketing@macrinabakery.com<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

One of the best parts of the last pop-up dinner were the stories people shared. They illustrated the many ways Macrina has enhanced their lives. We heard stories of people discovering a community of food lovers at Macrina, or finding a home away from home. One woman treated construction workers remodeling her house to homemade goodies from the Macrina cookbooks every Friday for a year. An almost-daily visitor to Macrina started bringing her daughter to our Belltown caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> in a stroller 24 years ago. Her daughter now lives across the country, but when visiting she always insists on Macrina for brunch. A man met his future wife at the Sodo caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> on a blind date and celebrated their love story this Valentine\u2019s Day with a pillow etched with “It All Began With Coffee at Macrina.” A new transplant to Seattle found solace in tea and pastries at our Queen Anne caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>. We could go on, but we\u2019d rather hear from you.<\/p>\n

To see this year\u2019s menu, you\u2019ll have to win two seats to the dinner \u2014 but here\u2019s a glimpse of the last one. Guests were welcomed with a mingle session featuring sparkling wine, craft cocktails, and appetizers. The first course was a handmade pappardelle pasta with garden tomatoes and fresh herbs. For the main course, attendees selected between beef tenderloin or king salmon, served with smoked risotto, local corn, chanterelles, and gremolata. We poured a favorite Washington state Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. We finished off the meal with an indulgent trio of summer berry pudding, lemon tart, and chocolate torte with red wine glaze, fresh berries and sweetened whipped cream.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on our last pop-up dinner, Leslie says, \u201cWatching the guests arrive was a joy. I recognized many faces, mentally associating stories with people. Over the next three hours, the room buzzed with laughter and lively conversation. I flitted from kitchen to dining room, relishing the sight of strangers introducing themselves and soon sharing stories over a meal at Macrina. I heard new friends planning to meet up in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n
