ABATE raises money for food banks
with spaghetti feed and auction
Iron Chef Goes Coastal raises
$60,000 for United Way
The Daily Astorian
The 10th annual Iron Chef
Goes Coastal, a fundraiser
for the United Way of Clat-
sop County held Nov. 7 at
the Seaside Convention Cen-
ter, raised a record $60,000.
The event sold out and
attracted 650 attendees, orga-
nizers said.
John Sowa, from Sweet
Basils, and Jeff Martin, from
Silver Salmon Grille, pre-
vailed over Jonathan Hoff-
man, of Chef’s Table and
Dough Dough Bakery, and
Josh Bokish, from Osprey
Café.
The money will be
invested into 14 partner agen-
cies “who fight for the health
and safety of every person
in Clatsop County,” Jenni-
fer Holen, executive direc-
tor of United Way of Clatsop
County, said in a release.
The chefs and restaurants
that participated in the peo-
ple’s choice savory and des-
sert made for a tough com-
petition, Holen noted, but
only two will advance to
next year’s stage to compete
against and alongside this
year’s winners.
The top two votes went
to Maggie’s on the Prom
and Fort George Brewery.
Sea Star Gelato, in Seaside,
won Best Desserts in Clatsop
County.
“These funds raised are
part of a bigger picture, a
larger goal, and are only a
fraction of what is needed to
not only build, but maintain
the overall health of our com-
munities,” Holen wrote. “In a
world of unknowns and cur-
rent climate, both political
and literal, we applaud you
for standing up together and
standing up united.”
