Kitchen K @ 4
Justifably, a lot of hullaballoo accompanied the arrival of Kitchen K on Washington Avenue four years back. The restaurant and bar was generallyl considered the first, new-build eatery in that end of Downtown, at least, the first to accompany the rush of commercial and residential construction near the Convention Center. Since then, of course, there's been no shortage of new spaces opening along that corridor, but Kitchen K, lead by the inimitable Pablo Weiss, hits the four-year mark next week.
To celebrate, the restaurant's bringing in hosts each night of the week, with 20% of the proceeds going to the favorite organization of each. A couple of gems orgs in this bunch, too: Monday, Steven Smith, St. Francis Cabrini Athletics; Tuesday, Pablo Weiss, KDHX; Wednesday, Steve Bosse, Brent Bosse Foundation; Thursday, Paul Ha, Contemporary Art Museum St. Lous; Friday, Mike McMillan and Tom Carnahn, Vashon Initiative; and Saturday, The Favazz, Habitat for Humanity.
