  1. I wanted to let you all know about my new dessert menu at Sou'Wester. I am very excited about it because it brings back things I grew up with; who doesn't love a great sundae??? So come on down and sit outside on our patio, have some oysters and cocktails then finish it off with a stellar sundae. Yes we have a patio and it is GORGEOUS. I have posted the menu for you below.

  2. Thanks! It was based on a traditional Dacquoise cake, but we used homemade graham cracker crumb instead of almond flour. We also put in some heavy cream to add richness to the cake. I was happy with the way it came out, tasting just like a graham cracker but spongey and light like a cake. Most likely this will be our signature BBQ dessert, with another, seasonal fruit offering.
  3. Hey! Thanks to everyone who came out for a perfect evening. Amazing weather, good food, good wine, great people. I know I'm looking forward to the next one... How about you? P.S. next time we'll take temps on your marshmallows, would you like that burnt or toasted?
  4. It will never be what it was but I am looking forward to what Fanucci and co. can turn it into. Such a beautiful space with a killer kitchen to boot, not to mention one of the nicest pastry kitchens in the city. Bon voyage Le Bec Fin, Bon chance chef Perrier.
  5. Good Morning donrockwell land, I wanted to let you all know about a promotion we are running with the Savored Group. It will be a five course dessert tasting menu, with drink pairings, for $150 pp, all inclusive. We will be holding a table every Thursday in February for 10 guests to enjoy a night of fun and sweets. Please go to savored.com to check out the deal and all the details . I have posted the link below, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Please join us at CityZen for something special. Warm Regards, Matthew http://savored.com/dc/signatures/cityzen/
  6. Hey bookluvingbabe thought I'd chime in here... Johnny's desserts are not to miss, especially since he's recently resigned his post as pastry chef at Jean-Georges. Go and indulge, he's only there for another month. You won't be disappointed, hopefully ;-) MP
  7. I am sorry that I replied to this late... I didn't get my email notification of a comment on this thread! I met a couple last night that had our dessert tasting... was that you??? If not I would love to invite you to come in next week, let me know and I will make sure I am at the restaurant to say hello. Cheers.
  8. Yes! Whilst a work in progress, we want our guests to be comfortable and enjoy themselves, so if you would like to eat your dessert in the lounge then so be it. We even have beautiful new furniture in there to boot!
  9. Mikew1 - thank you for the very nice comments, I am sorry that I was not in the restaurant to say hello, apparently I had just missed you. Next Time! On that note, I am really excited and happy because this dessert tasting menu seems to be taking off as we have had guests enjoying every night this week. Keep em coming! This leads me to an idea that Eric and I had. We are hoping to do something with the hotel and shows at arena stage. The idea is to have you come back after the show for dessert in our lounge. The hotel would provide a town car that could shuttle you back and forth. Sounds like a pretty sweet idea right?!! Still an idea at this point but food for thought...... Ciao, MTP
  10. should have been watching this thread... so sorry... I just wanted to thank everyone who supported me during the show and who also voted for me to win FAN FAVORITE! As squidsdc mentions in the post above, I am doing a dessert tasting menu at the bar in CityZen Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 25$ for four courses!! Seriously though, I am so honored and humbled to have been a part of Top Chef. The support from fans, colleagues and family was overwhelming and emotional. All that said, I am super happy with the outcome of the show and how they portrayed me, and I am really excited for the future and to be a part of the great culinary community here in Washington DC. Thanks and cheers. Matthew
  11. Hey Everybody! I just wanted to let everyone know about a new promotion I've been working on at CityZen. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I will be offering a 4 course dessert tasting, for 25$ per person at our bar. The menu will be thoughtful, inspired daily and will showcase what we love about dessert. There isn't a printed menu, it's just whatever I want to make that day. But please, if you prefer chocolate over fruit or vice versa, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. I have always wanted to do something like this and CityZen affords me that opportunity. I hope to have some loyal Don Rockwell contributors at our bar soon. Cheers. Matthew
  12. wow I just noticed that I have not posted in a while! I guess you could say that I've been pretty busy...
  13. Thank you Don! Hey next time you're in Sou'Wester ask for me! I am looking forward to the upcoming season and all of the fun that will come with it! Season two will air on Bravo at 10pmEST on August 24.
