When we last spoke with Maple Leaf residents Garett Slettebak and Heather Berger (pictured at right), the founders of the annual Spoke & Food fundraising event were optimistic they’d be able to get a few Maple Leaf restaurants involved in the event by this year.
The event, which takes place June 28 this year, encourages people to forgo using cars that night and instead ride their bikes to participating restaurants, which then will donate 20 percent of revenue from that evening to the Children’s Garden program at Seattle Tilth.
So far, no Maple Leaf restaurants have signed up to participate, and Slettebak has set a deadline of tomorrow, May 13, for restaurants to join in.
However, there are some nearby restaurants participating, if you’re up to working off some calories on the ride home. So far, participants include:
- Casa D’Italia (Ravenna)
- The Scarlet Tree (Roosevelt)
- Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe (University District)
- Julia’s (Wallingford)
- Barking Dog Alehouse (Greenwood)
- Stumbling Goat Bistro (Phinney Ridge)
- Via Tribunali (Queen Anne)
- Snoose Junction Pizzeria (Ballard)
- The Lookout (Capitol Hill)
- Madrona Alehouse (Madrona)
Which Maple Leaf restaurants would you like to see participate?
