2018年末节日盛宴旺季，西雅图的标志性餐厅Canlis全新揭幕其用集装箱改装成的私人聚会场所，地点就在其停车场西侧。餐厅老板Brian Canlis介绍说，此私人宴会餐厅由集装箱经神级改造而成，是Canlis一站式用餐体验的延伸。它可容纳8人就餐，配有燃木火炉，小巧舒适，具有简洁的工业气息，但又极具趣味性。食物由主厨Brady Williams主理，他精心为客人准备的菜单，具定制化、多道菜、家庭风的风格、并佐以红酒和鸡尾酒；此外，自然少不了全城首屈一指的完美服务。至于如此规格的宴会的价格？人均起价只有500美元呦。
’Tis the season for some spectacularly festive meals. To that end, Seattle’s iconic Canlis restaurant is now offering a new, exclusive venue for private parties: a converted shipping container on the west edge of its parking lot. That’s right: Co-owner Brian Canlis explains that this tricked-out dining room—at once industrial and cozy, with a wood-fired oven and seating for eight—is an extension of the full-stop Canlis dining experience, “but in the most fun way possible.” It features a custom, multicourse, family-style menu prepared by chef Brady Williams, wine and cocktail pairings, and naturally, the very best service in town. The price tag for a party like this? It starts at a mere $500 per person.
