"Chef Luke Kolpin went from working nine years in the kitchen at Copenhagen’s legendary Noma to appearing on Top Chef; then, he landed in Kenmore in 2023 to helm the Lodge at Saint Edward State Park’s flagship restaurant. It was a huge get for Cedar + Elm, and if you’re looking to see what Kolpin has been doing over here, Christmas Eve is as good a time as any: Cedar + Elm is showcasing a $125 tasting menu with an optional wine pairing. (The menu isn’t online, but expect an exacting approach to seasonal PNW offerings.) To book, go here." - Mark DeJoy, Eater Staff
