MeMc Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Before I read the Blue Duck Tavern thread by Mr. Food today about the chef's table, I had been thinking about them after going to 2941. I've never sat at one. Are they all kitchen side or in the kitchen? Who has them? Which ones would you recommend? I'd really like to have dinner at one, but I know absolutely nothing about what makes one experience different/better/more unusual, etc and I'm not rolling in cash to have the option of trying them all, it seems. Where would you recommend? Sorry if this is a repeat post. I did a couple of searches for this thread, but didn't come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 The chef's table at 2941 is quite comfortable, set in an alcove across an aisle from the pass. And Jon Krinn likes to chat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Bob & Edith's has a "chefs" table (of sorts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 We're hosting my sister-in-law and nephew at the end of August (I know -- so soon!) -- I was thinking maybe it would be cool to take him to a chef's table, where he could really get into the experience of watching the team cook. Are there any really awesome chef's tables out there -- good, unintimidating food with a great view of the kitchen experience? Thanks in advance!

Pat Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I don't know if they have a chef's table, but the new Corduroy has a good view into the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for the idea! We're really looking for the full in-kitchen experience, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd like to bring back this topic for a friend of mine because I may not be 100% current as to what's available right now. Where in DC would you go right now in order to sit at a chef's table, and interact with the chef making your food? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraB Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Roberto's 8 comes immediately to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The chef has recently left, and I don't know if they still have it, but the Westend Bistro has an "At The Pass" table/counter. We had a wonderful meal with tons of interaction with the headliner chef as well as the guys working the stoves. Great value too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Friends and I had a wonderful time at Pizzeria Orso, sitting at the counter at the pass, with Chef Will presenting the plates and chatting with us. You get to see the pizzas being made all the time, and the use of the wood-fired oven; however, you don't see much of the rest of the cooking from that vantage point.

Pat Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 If you are including chef's counters, I'd say Beuchert's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Ox Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I haven't been there yet to confirm, but Bidwell http://bidwelldc.com/ in Union Market was offering a Chef's counter tasting menu when I was looking to try a new place last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
