The New Guard: A Fleeting Fête You Wish Would Last Forever [Photos]

Sometimes, we do more than just go to concerts. Sometimes, we go to concerts that also happen to be one of the most delicious meals we’ve ever eaten, a thought provoking art installment and a dinner table full of delightful conversation. Such was the case last Wednesday, when we attended our first (but certainly not our last) New Guard event. Curated by Whitney Ricketts, Sarah Jurado and Joey Veltkamp The New Guard is a celebration of the delightful and up-and-coming. It features one local artist, one local musician and one local chef at a rotating venue for an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime evening with some of Seattle’s most fascinating foodies, artists and musicians as guests.
Our introduction to The New Guard was hosted at a South End wine distribution warehouse and featured a proper East Coast clambake cooked by Sitka & Spruce’s Cormac Mahoney, art by Kat Larson and a solo set by Justin Ripley (of Salmon Thrasher). It was a meal and an evening we’ll dream of for months to come, a fleeting fête that we wished could last forever.
