Cafe Nordo presents: Bounty! An Epic Adventure in Seafood

Theo Chocolate South End
Seattle, WA


Chef Nordo Lefesczki and the madcap creative team at Cafe Nordo proudly return to Seattle with Bounty! An Epic Adventure in Seafood.  Embark on an odyssey of invertebrates, mollusks, fish, and mischief on the Salish Seas.  

Once again, Cafe Nordo transforms the south end of Theo Chocolate; this time into an intimate restaurant on an old sailing vessel where folklore and science merge into a five course prix fixe celebration of the fruits of our seas. Chef Nordo's menu journeys from the Big Bang amuse bouche through the Sea Urchin, Dungeness Crab, Oysters, Squid, and Copper River Salmon, highlighting all of the local and sustainable gifts of the waters around Seattle.  Original music and performance are the wind and waves in this evocation of a sailor's love for the ocean.

Last fall, Seattle diners were stunned and delighted by Chef Nordo Lefesczki's Northwest debut, The Modern American Chicken.  Chef Nordo's collaboration with Seattle's Circus Contraption veterans, (writer Terry Podgorski, director Erin Brindley, and composer Annastasia Workman,) amounted to a revolution in culinary theater. Delicious and thought- provoking food took center stage as the lead character in an interactive theatrical experience. Bounty! An Epic Adventure in Seafood takes the new genre to new heights.  South Pacific meets The Blue Planet meets The Flying Fish, all lovingly crafted for our Seattle audience.  

As always Chef Nordo's menu is what it is; there will be no substitutions for lily-livered algae-eaters. Perhaps these seaweed-minded guests can guzzle away their fear: Nordo ensures that every meal is an opportunity for transcendence, accompanied as it is by a wine flight conceived and procured by Vino Verite.  Concerned citizens can leave their Monterey Bay Aquarium wallet insert at home, as local and sustainable seafood is at the very heart of this love letter to the sea.  

Seating is extremely limited.

"A fricassee of satire, zany antics and enlightened food consciousness, Cafe Nordo has a unique spin on dining, wine-ing and watching...with kinky sincerity, the show spoofs chef-cult madness but sincerely honors the consumption of a well-cooked meal." The Seattle Times

"The entire affair is sort of like ethical consumerism on crack: these days, everyone's concerned that their food is grain-fed, organically grown, ranged freely, and ethically slaughtered. Carnal Food takes the idea a step further and seeks to emotionally and intellectually engage you with the life and death of your food in deference to the near miraculous process which got it onto your plate, recounted in performance even as you eat it. It's fun, a little disturbing, occasionally bordering on the perverse...latte activism infected with a viral strain of radical Marxism, intent on reconnecting you to your means of production over fine dining."- TheSunbreak.com
