Seattle — The Special Olympics USA Games begin on July 1, and in anticipation of the event being held in Seattle, restaurants in South Lake Union and Denny Triangle have joined the Choose to Include campaign. To raise funds and awareness, participating restaurants will feature a dish that guests can order to support the games. Chef Rusty Cole is sharing 2120's featured dish for Choose to Include, A-5 Wagyu Steak.

Goose Berry Puree:
In a sauce pot, Add the gooseberries, water and sugar. Allow to cook on medium heat for about thirty minutes, puree in a blender and strain the seeds out. Store in a clean container and allow to cool.
Grilled Carrots:
Peel and rinse the carrots. Cut them in half long ways and coat in vegetable oil and salt. Grill until soft.
