Hosted by the Washington Wine Commission, the fifth annual 20something event boasted local chef Tom Douglas’s pork head, Ray’s Cafe Thai curry penne, and my new personal favorite coffee roaster Stumptown Coffee. Yum Yum. So, while the night started off at 6PM, the majority of the peeps came strolling in around 7PM in a true fashionably-late style.
