One of my absolute favorite restaurants.
Chef Holly Smith opened Cafe Juanita in the spring of 2000. In the more than 20 years since, the restaurant has received countless awards and accolades, at the same time becoming a go-to for those looking to celebrate life's most special moments. https://t.co/XhqMXh7T1x

My final story for @seattletimes got published over the weekend. It's about obstacles Hmong farmers face in the Puget Sound, and how racist land distribution laws from 100+ years ago play into who owns farmland today, and who's stuck renting it, too. https://t.co/kCk0b0vaAd

The best way to overcome the challenges that come with leasing farmland is to simply buy your own plot. But for many Hmong farmers, itās not that easy.

Great story on The Pastry Project @alleciav... I had no idea some of the extra challenges in the jobs market for baking and pastry:
seattlemet.com
Even before our current restaurant worker shortage, Seattleās needed more pastry cooks. Two women built a free training program in Pioneer Square.

Turns out my dean colleague, trauma surgeon Dr. @AJGTempleSurg, who has seen the devastation of assault weapons hundreds of times, had the same thought I did after the Uvalde mass shooting. So we wrote something:

Display a photograph or three that can help the public understand exactly what happens when a weapon designed for war is unleashed on innocent, unarmed people, write David Boardman and Amy Goldberg.

Closure of @SeattleCulinary would be shockingly shortsighted. A real disservice to the city & restaurant industry.
