The Whale Wins is the creation of James Beard Award winning chef Renee Erickson and partners Jeremy Price and Chad Dale — the folks behind Ballard’s acclaimed The Walrus and the Carpenter. Drawing inspiration from the cuisine of some of Renee Erickson’s favorite places in southern Europe and England, The Whale Wins’ wood-fired, vegetable focused menu features the very best foods from local beaches, gardens and farms prepared simply and served casually in a lively, light filled, cottage-like space. For this 90/90 event, The Whale Wins will be offering a special multi-course family-style menu with wine pairings and welcome toast.
