Maria Hines’ Tilth Celebrates 10th Anniversary! 08.25.16

Seattle Met captures the journey, achievements and more, writing of Tilth, “the revolution it helped ignite has changed things forever.” As Maria’s first restaurant, it propelled the farm-to-table movement in the northwest by highlighting important, local purveyors including farms, ranches and fishing vessels.
Noted for calling out purveyors by name on the menu since the early days, the 10th Anniversary Menu is no exception. The 10-course menu features many of the long-time purveyors including King’s Garden Summer Melon Salad, Loki Seafood Salmon a la Plancha and Skagit River Ranch Braised Pork Belly.

Skagit River Ranch Breeds Wagyu; Chef Hines Takes in National 01.09.14
This month’s Edible Seattle tells the story of Eiko and George Vojkovich of Skagit River Ranch and their quest to breed the best beef. Their long journey brought organic, grass-fed Wagyu beef to the tables of Tilth, where Chef Maria Hines served it to guests, and then took it to the James Beard Foundation’s sustainability conference last October!
Pick up the issue on newsstands now through the end of February. Keep your eyes peeled for the Wagyu’s return to the Tilth menu, soon!TAGS: Chef Maria Hines, Edible Seattle, Skagit River Ranch, Tilth, Wagyu Beef
