Code Name Vagabond

Last night Mommy and Daddy arranged for Silver to come to the house and hang out with me while the two of them headed to Portalis in Old Ballard to partake in a Vagabond Dinner. Vagabond is the brainchild of Gabriel Claycamp, Culinary Communion founder and head gypsy behind the secretive and uber-hip Gypsy Dinners. Tonight's guest chef was Andy Leonard from the newly christened Opal on top of Queen Anne. Joining Mommy and Daddy at their table were the lovely Christine and the funnier than hell Carmen... Apparently she had some stories to tell.
