Thursday August 6, 2009 6 P.M.

Sean Concannon & Doug Smith of West Café, with Michelle & Lotof Shahtout of Michelle’s Piano Company and musical guest Darcy White present a very special evening in conjunction with Our House of Portland.  The evening is a benefit and part of the Our House Dinner Series.   100% of the proceeds from public and private dinners go to Our House, Swan House, Esther’s Pantry, Tod’s Corner, and our Neighborhood Housing & Care Program.

You won’t want to miss this special evening, certain to indulge your palate as well as your ears.  The adventure begins downtown at Michelle’s Piano Company, where diners will sip wine and indulge in starters of Dungeness crab and corn fritters with mango mustard sauce, asparagus and Portobello yakitori, and smoked salmon and pineapple nori rolls.  Between bites, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking concert played simultaneously by three classically trained pianists - including critically-acclaimed Darcy White.  After the concert, it’s a short ride on the Portland Streetcar to West Café, where the kitchen embraces both the Pacific Northwest and the Pacific Rim.  Dinner includes a choice of Asian-style beef tenderloin or mint yogurt-marinated halibut, followed by either a dense chocolate “Queen of Sheba” torte or a cobbler made of pristine late-summer berries guaranteed to be music to your mouth.

Note: Vegetarian or vegan option is available with prior notice.

Cost: $125
