THE STORY
Cheers to Tradition: A night of salmon, wine, and PNW heritage
The Ben Paris Salmon Derby Dinner isn’t just a meal—it’s a tribute to Seattle’s original rule-breaker, Ben Paris. We're talking about the man who didn’t just sell fishing rods—he started the city’s first salmon derby, took on commercial salmon traps in Puget Sound, and ensured the Pacific Northwest stayed rich with its natural bounty. Conservation and innovation were his game, and he played it like a boss.
This dinner is our way of tipping the hat (or fishing cap) o Ben Paris’ entrepreneurial swagger and relentless conservation hustle. Expect a menu packed with salmon and other PNW faves, paired with wines from Browne Family Vineyards—crafted with the same dedication to quality and heritage that Ben Paris brought to the community. Founded by Andrew Browne as a tribute to his family, Browne Family Vineyards is committed to preserving the best of the Pacific Northwest, making their wines the perfect complement to this evening. This dinner is a true homage to the legend who shaped Seattle’s fishing scene, one bold move at a time.
Why are we doing this? Because Ben Paris wasn’t just about business—he was about building community, preserving the fishery, and is the reason we can still enjoy the Pacific Northwest’s best today. This dinner isn’t just about the food—it’s about celebrating the guy who changed the game. So, grab a seat, sip some Browne Family wines, and dive into the flavors Ben worked so hard to protect. This is more than a meal—it’s a fall tradition in the making, and trust us, you’ll want to be part of it.
