Patty Pan Cooperative sets up shop in Shoreline with a dinner Monday

Patty Pan Cooperative has opened its new location in Shoreline, transforming a former Sunshine Espresso shop into a community kitchen aimed at fostering local engagement. This farmers' market concession business is well-known for its presence at 14 Seattle-area markets, where they serve seasonal dishes like tamales and grilled vegetable quesadillas. Their inaugural event, the Humble Feast, is set for June 2, offering a menu that includes lamb and lentil stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, and apple crisp, all made from locally sourced ingredients. The cooperative's commitment to sourcing from local farmers reinforces their dedication to sustainability and community support. By creating a neighborhood kitchen, Patty Pan Cooperative not only prepares for market participation but also enhances the local food scene through monthly community dinners and cooking events.

Reservations for the Humble Feast are encouraged but not mandatory, with affordable pricing aimed at ensuring accessibility. This initiative represents a significant step toward building community connections and celebrating local culinary traditions. Engaging with the community through food, Patty Pan Cooperative is positioned to become a beloved local institution.
