Salmon Solves Everything

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee May 19, 2010

Cheflebrity Tom Douglas, no longer satisfied with simply winning James Beard awards and running a chain of high falutin' restaurants in Seattle, is getting into the crime fighting game, kinda.


ST:



Concerned by crime and neglect around Pike Place Market, local celebrity chef Tom Douglas is reaching for any Northwest cook's go-to solution: salmon.


Douglas is applying next month to launch a weekend "Salmon Night" at Victor Steinbrueck Park. He'd roast salmon and sell it for about $12 a plate at the park on weekend nights and spend the proceeds on additional security for the park.

Douglas was among the business owners who pleaded with the Seattle City Council last month to pass a law making aggressive panhandling a civil infraction. Supporters said street crime and intimidating behavior were driving tourists from downtown.



I think we need to give Tom Douglas a fitting superhero name.


Iron Chef?


Chef de Streetclean?


The Slammin' Salmon?
