Secret Dinners; Special Sangria; Holly Smith's DC Challenge

SOMEWHERE—Chef Adam Hegsted's underground supper club The Wandering Table is based in Idaho, but making a special Seattle appearance in September. Hegsted went to culinary school at the Art Institute of Seattle and his brother and co-conspirator cooks at The Rainier Club. The September 18 dinner has a few seats left. The location is secret until you buy a ticket ($85 for dinner and wine), but Hegsted promises it's within 20 minutes of downtown. Email him if you're game for some intrigue. [EaterWire]

LOWER QUEEN ANNE—On Sunday Sade and John Legend perform at KeyArena, and the concessions team made a signature drink for the occasion. For one night only the facility will sell its "Smooth Operator Sangria," a nod to the Sade song. We can only hope the staff is also working on a special Dark & Stormy recipe for Storm games.

WASHINGTON, DC—Cafe Juanita chef Holly Smith is headed to DC in November for a Michelle Obama-inspired Great American Family Dinner Challenge, which sounds positively Top Cheffian. Smith will team up with chef Marcus Samuelsson to cook a nutritious dinner and dessert for a family of four...on a budget of $10. Total. [EaterWire]
