Seattle’s latest popup dinner comes to you courtesy of Eastlake’s Little Water Cantina, where Top Chef alum Lee Anne Wong is joining chef/owner Shannon Wilkinson later this month for a pair of dinners dubbed “China Latina.”

Scheduled for January 25 and 26, the meals will run $45 for four courses. Dinner includes an introductory cocktail, but an additional four-course wine pairing runs you $25. Each night will have two seatings, at 6 and 8pm. The format is pretty flexible for a popup; a vegan version of the four-course menu is available, and diners can even order China Latina items a la carte.

As the name suggests, the food will be a fusion of Asian fare and the cuisine of Mexico and Latin America. Wilkinson says he’s eager to show diners how well these two distinct styles work together. Some of the sample menu items being bandied about are togarashi vanilla chicken wings and kung pao shrimp tacos.

The menu is a collaboration between Wong and Wilkinson, who were Top Chef colleagues back when Wilkinson served as one of the show’s culinary producers and Wong was a contestant, later becoming a culinary producer as well. However the Little Water Cantina owner says that the two chefs actually struck up a friendship back in culinary school. They even did a China Latina meal several years back at a well-regarded hotel restaurant Oaxaca.

“The whole point of this event is for us to get in the kitchen together,” says Wilkinson. “The last time we cooked this kind of food together, we were actually in Mexico.”

These days, Wong is in the midst of opening a restaurant in New York City. She also appears on Cooking Channel show Unique Eats—the original reason for her visit to Seattle.

Little Water is expecting these meals to sell out, so you best be making a reservation by calling the restaurant. Wilkinson says the evenings will be a fun departure for him and his staff. “I want to do several unique, focused events like this each year that will expand how Seattleites think about Mexican food.”
