Where we celebrate the hardworking individuals who keep our city fed - that means you!
Too often, those in the service industry are the ones helping other people have fun. Rarely are they recognized or given the same opportunities. Together with the help of Chef Tu David Phu, we aim to change that.
Our Chef's Night events are love letters to the service industry. It's a chance for these awesome folks to feel celebrated for a change. Not to mention, meet fellow restaurant, food, and service industry folks. Everyone leaves in good spirits, and several more leave with a free kitchen knife and other sponsored goodies.
Join us for Chef's Night, where we celebrate the hardworking individuals who keep our city fed - that means you. It's a great opportunity to network, get to know, and catch up with fellow members of the Portland food industry.
This Chef's Night is on Monday, April 14 from 6-9pm at Seisuke Knife. Our special guest is Chef Vedran Jordan. Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, Chef Vedran brings a playful and inspired approach to his craft. Arriving in Portland as a refugee at the age of 12, his culinary voice draws heavily from his Balkan heritage—layering the bold, sapid flavors of Bosnian and Turkish cuisine with precision and creativity honed by working in some of Portland’s finest restaurants (Including Bamboo Sushi, Laangbaan, Gado Gado, and Oma’s Hideaway). Through his own Balkan Nights pop-up, he brings authentic Turkish cuisine to Portland while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainable, local sourcing.
At the event, he will tell his story, showcase his knives, and share a taste of what he is all about, cooking up Lamb Heart Kabaps and Charred Chrysanthemum Salata over Thaan Charcoal on their newly launched grill.
Your $5 RSVP ticket includes entry, bites, and discounted shopping. We're offering:

As well as 20% off of sharpening services for everyone, to celebrate our newly renovated Sharpening Annex. Don't miss our spring product features, like carbon steel Nao Yamamoto and Japanese nata machete. Enjoy good food and company at Chef's Night. See you there!
