The culinary arts are full of flavor and variety – just like our community. When I joined the Seventeen51 team in 2019, I made it my goal to curate a menu that is customized to who we are. The first step was to pick a theme, which is always the hardest part. The trick isn’t deciding which things to throw on the menu in which order; it’s more about setting a tone and a timeframe. What do we want this menu to say? What will it look like in ten years? That second question was a doozy for me, as I had just moved home to Olympia after a 9 year absence. It was interesting to see restaurants downtown still serving recipes I’d created when I was a new chef. If I’d changed so much in the meantime then why hadn’t they?
I settled on two themes – Generativity and Growing Where You’re Planted. Generativity is a psychology term defined as the ability to transcend personal interests to provide care and concern for both younger and older generations. In short, creating things designed to outlast us. Growing Where You’re Planted means just that. We’re here now. Too much time is wasted looking for greener pastures. I wanted to drop a chair right here, to sit down, and see how long it takes to make this pasture as green as it can be. It’s too easy to write a menu, call it good enough, and move on to something else. The bigger challenge is to try to write one that will never be done being written. Lofty goals for a grilled cheese sandwich, right?
