The Bite of Seattle has be come a local tradition where visitors can taste the best of the Seattle culinary scene with just one stop.

The Danny Vernon Elvis Tribute Band will kick off the evening at 7:30pm, movie at 8:30. 500 bags of free Kukuruza Gourmet popcorn and Dick’s burgers will also be provided while supplies last.

Local chefs will compete in a Bite Cook Off!, where they will be given three mystery ingredients, a small pantry of basic cooking staples and leave it up to the audience to judge there final entrée. The winner will be crowned The Bite Cooks Master!

Entertainment Venues:

Since its inception in 1982, Seattle’s premier food festival has successfully retained a connection to the community by raising funds for local charities and once again, the Bite teams up with some of Western Washington’s most notable charity organizations to retain a connection to the community.
Food Lifeline, a primary partner with the Bite, benefits from the event in a number of ways. Diners who drop in on the long-standing Bite favorite, The Alley hosted by Tom Douglas, will contribute a portion of their $10 Alley admission toward Food Lifeline’s mission to end hunger.
