Dahlia Chef, Brock Johnson, was one of 15 chefs to participate in the fundraiser Gifts from the Earth at South Seattle Community College. Brock prepared a 4-course meal for 20 of the 300 people attending and roasted a pig in a box as the main entree. Brock’s pig was delicious and a big hit! Thanks Brock and Micha (Brock’s server) for the awesome job last Saturday night!
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.

Hello Tom: You probably don’t remember me, but I worked with you at Benjamin’s around 1979/80. I was part of your crew, manning the sauté station in the evenings. I see that you have made quite a career for yourself…Congratulations! I am an instructor at South Seattle Community College, and this edition of your blog was sent to all of us here on the campus. Glad you could send someone to participate in the Gifts from the Earth event. Benjamin’s was my last real cooking job as I went to graduate school and lived in Brazil during the 1980s, and have been teaching here since 1991.
Continued success in your career.
