Chef Edouardo Jordan to Close Salare, His First Seattle Restaurant - Eater Seattle

"After six years, award-winning chef Edouardo Jordan will permanently close his original Ravenna restaurant, Salare, on July 3. Jordan made the announcement on Instagram, expressing appreciation for the enormously successful run, which included a James Beard Award win and numerous critical raves. The Ravenna restaurant mixed techniques from the chef’s fine dining training, as well as influences from West Africa and the cuisine of the South, which Jordan treasured from his childhood. The skill and innovation that went into his meticulously prepared dishes not only quickly won over local critics, but also put the rising star chef on the national map." - Gabe Guarente
