DC Chefs Take Over James Beard House

On a quiet, unassuming street in New York's Greenwich Village sits the brick home of James Beard. To be asked by his eponymous foundation to cook at the house is an honor most chefs dream about. Last week, some of DC's top culinary talents had that chance. Lucky me was invited to attend.

The Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington, known for the annual Rammy awards, put together a great event featuring winners and nominees from the Rammy rising star, pastry chef and hottest bar scene categories.

As I raced from a delayed train just in time for the cocktail hour, the evening kicked off with a slew of creative drinks created by the mixologists at Bourbon Steak, Chef Geoff's, Estadio, Masa 14 and PS 7's, the Rammy hottest bar scene contenders.

Meanwhile, in the rather tiny James Beard House kitchen, six DC chefs worked intensely to coordinate a multi-course meal for guests.
