Ethan Stowell

In the early aughts, Ethan Stowell was a wunderkind, a young chef operating Union, a high-flying fine dining restaurant downtown. He has evolved from chef to restaurateur — his hospitality group, Ethan Stowell Restaurants, operates more than 20 restaurants across Seattle neighborhoods and as far as New York City. Among them, his most long-standing restaurants, Tavolàta, How to Cook a Wolf, and Staple & Fancy stay faithful to his signature formula of seasonal Northwest-Italian cuisine.
