Rib Roast Showdown with Chef Tom Douglas
December 19 2026 | 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM2000 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
In this annual class we explore the different grades of classic Rib Roast, both by grade and by cooking techniques.
Life is too short to get “shorted” on fake names such as “Prime” Rib when it’s really "Choice" grade mislabeled intentionally. Why would one pay for Wagyu when charcoal roasting fools your taste buds into a higher grade….or does it?
Warning…beef is not cheap so no “mooing” about the price!
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with Prosecco before enjoying a selection from our Sea Bar serve with flaky and crispy green onion pancakes, featuring fresh seafood paired with bright, savory, and aromatic flavors.
Sea Bar and Prosecco
- Tuna — Sake, Soy, Shiso
- Hamachi — Fried Ginger, Yuzu, Sesame
- Green Onion Pancakes — Served with Tuna and Hamachi
- Grilled Shrimp — Rose Harissa Aioli
The evening will start with Kenny’s Tableside Caesar. Then we will move into the steak tastings that will be accompanied by a selection of Seasonal Sides, thoughtfully paired with each style of rib roast—from indulgent, crispy sweet potatoes to golden onion rings with house ranch and vibrant ruby chard finished with toasted garlic and bruleed lemon. We will end the evening on a sweet note with Pine Nut Tart, Chocolate Ganache and Vanilla Whipped Cream.
The class will also include a House Wine Pairing to complement each course and bring out the character of each dish.
