ANNOUNCING THE NEXT INSTALLMENT OF OUR DINNER SERIES - CELEBRATING WOMEN
We are very excited to welcome Chef Risa Lichtman of Lepage Food & Drinks into our kitchen to head up our first dinner in March, when we celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day.
Risa Lichtman is the chef & owner of Lepage Food & Drinks. You can find her seasonal food popping up at restaurants and farms throughout the Portland area, or through her weekly rotating menus which she offers for pickup and delivery.
She makes ingredient-driven comfort food, blending Middle Eastern flavors with the bounty of the PNW. She’s highly influenced by her Jewish-American heritage, and loves to share her favorite Jewish food with her community.
She has cooked in restaurants throughout Portland, San Francisco & New York for over a decade, including Pizzeria Delfina, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Sweedeedee, Handsome Pizza, and Beetroot Market.
She believes in using food as a means for activism, participating in mutual aid, and community building. Risa is the lead organizer of the Portland chapter of Queer Soup Night, which gathers Queer community and allies over food-centered events and raises funds for local grassroots organizations.
When not cooking, she spends her time gardening, sewing and crafting, and getting into mischief with her wife, dogs, and cat.
This five course dinner will be offered on Thursday March 9th, with seatings from 6:00pm to 8:15pm, indoor or outdoors on our heated & covered patio.
$60 per person, with gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free accommodations available.
The drink list will be filled with women-made wines and women-made cocktail recipes featuring women-made spirits! (Available at additional cost)
