Evan Leichtling is the chef of the tiny restaurant Off Alley in Columbia City. And it is quite tiny, with a width of only six feet four inches. My first cafe was just ten feet wide and I thought that was difficult, so I totally get his challenge. Evan and his wife have risen to the challenge and created something special. It was named by the New York Times as one of the most exciting restaurants in America and named as a semi-finalist for the 2024 James Beard Awards.
I have convinced Evan to come out to the farm to teach a class this summer, after the tremendous success of his class last year on sauces. This year, Evan has chosen to create a class and a menu with a seafood theme.
Evan will be teaching us how to prepare a seafood bisque with crab, black cod and what other great fresh fish he can find that weekend. Also on the menu will be a seafood salad and fresh brioche. Evan always puts his own take on classic dishes and this class he will do the same; adding his expertise to these classic French preparations.
