MEET THIS YEAR’S CONCOURS CLUB DINNER FEATURED CHEFS

Driftwood is a celebrated restaurant and bar located on the shores of Alki Beach in West Seattle. Focused on regional community partnerships, Executive Chef Mallahan has brought eating local to new heights, partnering with farmers in the Deschutes, Green and Snohomish River valleys, as well as Vashon and the San Juan islands to grow fresh seasonal ingredients exclusively for the restaurant. The 2,200 SF space seats 48, including bar seating and special water view counter space, and offers additional seasonal outdoor seating for up to 22.

Chef Dan Mallahan was born and raised in Everett, Washington at the headwaters of Wood Creek. In 2008, after studying Business Management at Western Washington University, Daniel moved to San Francisco to pursue cooking professionally. After graduating from the California Culinary Academy he began working at the new FIVE Restaurant, a local market driven concept in Berkeley, California. In 2011 Daniel began working for James Beard Award winning Chef Nancy Oakes at the Michelin-starred Boulevard restaurant in San Francisco. Daniel quickly rose through the ranks and earned a spot in management in this highly successful and competitive restaurant. During the summer of 2016 Daniel got the opportunity to work with world renowned Chef Cristina Bowerman in Rome, Italy. In 2017 Daniel moved back to Seattle to open RIDER, a seafood focused woodfired restaurant in the heart of downtown.
