A stir

When’s the last time you had a lamb burger?? Well, our executive chef, Ton, is Turkish, so of course, we’re introducing the Lamb Burger as our newest special 🍔

We mix the lamb with egg, sauteed red onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, and oregano; top it with tzatziki, feta, lettuce, and tomato, then serve it in between gluten-free buns slathered with garlic aioli. And you get our hand-cut fries with sides of ketchup and stone ground mustard aioli.

You don’t want to miss this… and you’re welcome 😉

Ready to channel your inner Picasso (or at least your best stick-figure skills)? Join us next week on Tuesday, July 30th at 7 PM for our first ever Drink & Draw! 🍸✍️

We’ll provide the space, the model(s), the food, and the drinks. You just need to bring your supplies and your artistic talent. Live figure drawing with an art instructor on site to steer you in the right direction (or at least try to).

And yes, it’s FREE to attend—because we’re generous like that 😊

Introducing our Executive Chef + General Manager at a/stir, Ton 👨🏻‍🍳

After a lengthy career in product management, Ton had a classic midlife crisis. But instead of splurging on a flashy car, he made a beeline for the kitchen. Trading in spreadsheets for spatulas, he trained as a Culinarian. Ton’s culinary adventures include managing the food and beverage program at Seattle Tennis Club, ‘dean’ing at Seattle Culinary Academy, running a catering company (esca), and co-founding Locus Wines’ food-forward tasting room. Who needs a sports car when you can wear a chef’s hat? 🏎️👨🏻‍🍳 Now, he’s happily settled at a/stir, where he cooks up a storm of gluten-free dishes with a Mediterranean and Turkish flair.

We certainly know and love Ton, but we want YOU to get to know him as well. We’re starting a series called “Ton’s Tasty Tidbits”, where Ton will walk us through a dish at a/stir, share its history, and even give a sneak peak on how we create the dish in the kitchen. Stay tuned! 🍽️✨

Tonight tonight tonight….. Downstairs Bar at a/stir.

Why settle for basic mac and cheese when you can have Lobster Mac and Cheese? And yes, it’s gluten-free too. Grab this special while it lasts and treat yourself to some fancy comfort food.

New platter special…. Burrata with Aleppo honey and Arbequina olive oil, speck, house made gluten-free baguette, peaches… Oh and the other special is lobster Mac and cheese if this looks too healthy. scene
