32. Some brief beef reprieve.
Friday night’s Surf ‘N’ Turf was one for seafood lovers and meat eaters alike. Just take a look at this geoduck ceviche from Orcas Island’s Kingfish Inn, reopening this fall with new chef Raymond Southern.

53. The side action was just as good as the protein.
Cafe Munir’s pomegranate-braised beef was lusciously tender, but the bright herby slaw almost stole the show.

74. Demos that dropped knowledge.
All weekend butchery professionals (as seen here, the blade-wielding crew from the Shambles), beer experts, and more enthralled Cowabunga-goers with insider wisdom.

95. Because pork belly.
Frank’s Oyster House, despite the name, represented one of the few but fine porcine dishes.
107. One steak house to rule them all.
The marinated beef from Pike Place Market’s lovely Chan was just one of the stellar upscale bites at Saturday night’s Seared.
116. Open bar envy.
Honestly the volume of free-flowing beverages happening over the weekend was almost concerning.

158. The entertainment lineup was legit.
You can only eat and drink so much until, finally, you need to take a seat and digest before your next round. Good thing every Cowabunga had live music and performances such as, oh, a rather riveting burlesque show.
169. A bit of sweet to balance the savory.
The Saturday night Ellenos collab with Mighty-O doughnuts was fun, sure, but we appreciated having a full-on greek yogurt bar around all weekend.

This past weekend the South Lake Union Discovery Center lawn transformed into a verifiable (if muddy) food oasis where thousands of hungry attendees got their fill of Washington beef, local seafood, burgers, and, oh yes, a helluva lot of drinks from Washington wines to bourbon-based cocktails to Seattle-reared beer. Yes, we came, we ate, we Cowabunga’d once more. So here we’ll recount only some of the many (many, many) highlights from Seattle Met‘s Cowabunga 2019.
Warning: We cannot be held responsible for any FOMO these images induce.
