Renee Erickson Author

Renee Erickson is the chef-owner of Seattle's Boat Street Cafe, and Boat Street Pickles, and co-owns The Walrus and the Carpenter, The Whale Wins, and the Narwhal Oyster Truck. She worked in the kitchen at Boat Street Cafe while earning her art degree from the University of Washington. In 1998 after a stay in Europe to study art and food, she found herself with the opportunity to buy that very same cafe, thus entering the wild ride of restaurant ownership, and she pounced. Renee is dedicated to providing the best, fresh, local, foraged food available.
