edibleHUE Culinary Nostalgia: June 28

In what could very well be Bellevue's first pop-up (anybody?), a pair of cooks come together at Bar Code for a five-course menu of global cuisine with a beverage pairing for $65.

The collaboration features classically trained chef Andy Nhan and home cook Myrissa Yamashiro. The menu will "highlight past culinary moments that influence how we cook today," organizers explain, with each course recalling "the discovery of techniques, ingredients or revelations worthy of the sentiment."

The chefs are most excited to share their "Spreading Pho" amuse bouche, featuring traditional ingredients from Pho noodle soup infused into pâte to evoke the fragrant broth. The menu goes on to offer preserved mackerel served with melon soup, beef cheek and heart with beet sauce, and more.

Nhan previously worked as head chef at Imagine Food, the "culinary think tank and art space" Maxime Bilet (Modernist Cuisine) runs, and has also done stints at The Herbfarm, The Modernist Cuisine Lab, and most recently with Michelin-starred chef Virgilio Martinez in Lima, Peru.

Yamashiro is a Seattle food blogger who won first place at Thierry Rautureau's Food Circus for a dessert she created in 2012. Since then, she's worked as a personal chef for clients on the Eastside.
