The Eat My Story event in Seattle was so much fun and went really well. The space was incredible–open, light, and a huge family style table. The cacophony of stories and ingredients were like eye candy. The colors and textures of the food, the sounds of our guests both filled the room with a whole new personality. They looked great with the personalized pizza peels I had made for each story too 
. BRITE made some great signs for the window as well as mini pins everyone was able to wear–they were so amazing to work with! I look forward to future collaborations with them!

Each person took one of the peels–not their own story but someone else’s–and built that person’s story with the ingredients depicted on it. They were then able to prepare (chop, cut, and arrange) their ingredients, shape their pizza dough, and then have the pizza baker put it in the oven for just about one minute. Then as each pizza came out, we read the story that went with it aloud, sliced it up, and tasted it.
There was so much food there was a point most of us were sitting together at the table, waiting for the next round of pizzas to come out, and we were almost silent–like after a huge thanksgiving meal–in a food coma. We snapped out of it, looked at each other, and started to laugh–how can we possibly eat the next three rounds? Another 12 pizzas? ha! It was a ton of food.
The restaurant we had the event at was incredible. Via Tribunali is a local chain of pizza places in Seattle but originated in Naples. The recipes for their dough, their home-cured meats, pizza sauce, and even cheese is all from the original restaurant in Italy and is all made right on site. They do an excellent job! If you find yourself in Seattle, you should definitely stop by and eat there .
Cheers!
