Back in 2013, Rene Redzepi did a book talk and signing through the Smithsonian Associates. Redzepi has a new book coming out next month and appears to be doing another book tour. I have been able to find information about signings in LA, SF, Seattle, Minneapolis, NY, and Philly, but there does not appear to be a comprehensive list of the cities he is visiting. Does anyone know if he will be coming to DC again?

Thank you so much everybody for the wonderful advice. I've only posted on this board once and I already feel like part of the family. I guess it really is true how food can bring people together. All I can say is that I am sitting here salivating. Unfortunately I am working in NY over the summer, and only head back to DC for various random weekends, but when I am back I definitely know where I will be going. The fry plate sounds divine, and I cant wait to taste those fried meyer lemons, I cant even imagine what they would taste like. As for entrees I guess I'll just have to convince whomever I am with to share what they order with me, but from what I hear its not likely that I am going to want to give them any of my roast chicken. Thanks again for all the advice, I will be sure to post a report when i finally get to try it all. Seth

Hi all, my first post here, hope its not something that has been covered before. I live in Cleveland Park and pass Palena almost daily. Unfortunately as a starving student I always figured it was out of my price range; however, the bar at Palena intrigues me, so I have a few questions: 1) Is it possible to make a reservation at the bar, or does someone just walk up to the host desk and ask for a table at the bar. 2) In reference to the starving student comment above is it possible to have a nice meal for under $30 a person. I realize if wine is included this is almost impossible; however, my friends and I are not big drinkers so this isnt a problem. 3) What is the can't miss dish? I have heard a lot about the hamburger, but I think I'd rather go for something a little more "fancy". Thanks!
