KUOW PRESENTS: The Splendid Table Live in Seattle 

Seattle has long been at the forefront of the foodie revolution, featuring local producers, fresh ingredients and forward-thinking chefs. KUOW is excited to continue this proud tradition and welcome The Splendid Table for a live in-person event Friday, April 29, 2022 at 7 p.m. at Benaroya’s Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall in Seattle.
