Sawyer

Restaurant In The Home Series: Pt. 7

We're heading to Seattle with this class, for a collaboration with one of the city's brightest new culinary stars: Sawyer! Housed in a former sawmill, Sawyer is where Chef/Owner Mitch Mayers lets his creativity run riot with dishes like bone-marrow infused matzoh ball pho and porchetta naan wrap with chimichurri. Fun is the operative word for Chef Mayers' menu, as we mustn’t forget that he got his start at the age of 14, mixing cotton candy sugar at state fairs for a family's concessions business. Upon opening in summer 2018, Sawyer quickly established itself as one of Seattle's most sought-after eateries with praise from the folks at James Beard as a semi-finalist for their "Best New Restaurant" award (in the entire country!). Did we mention that Chef Mayers was literally just selected as a 2020 James Beard "Best Chef: Northwest & Pacific" semi-finalist? Needless to say, we're are in for a treat with this class!

A Culinary Institute of America grad, Chef Mayers cut his teeth at Denver's Hillstone Restaurant Group, and Seattle's Lark (where he served as Chef de Cuisine), before opening Sawyer in 2018. He's a two-time Cochon 555 Seattle award-winner, was named one of Zagat’s 2018 “Eight Under the Radar Chefs to Know in Seattle”, and has earned numerous semi-finalist nominations from the James Beard Foundation ("Best New Restaurant" 2019, and "Best Chef: Northwest & Pacific" 2020).
