Chef Tom

My family is from Berlin.

Growing up we would "take it to the next level" by adding a dash of Worcesteshire Sauce and a little paprika..

When I drove by yesterday I noticed that Dancing Peppers has closed, I could not make out the sign that said what is replacing it, but they were hard at work inside making changes.

Perhaps someone should contact the owner(s) first before publicizing!

While looking through this auction http://rasmus.com/auction_detail.php?ID=371137 it appeared to be Restaurant Kolumbia.

I guess they're closing soon.

We do family style dinners at Food Matters. Our private room has a custom made, reclaimed barnwood table that seats 18 people.

We tend to plan the dinners at the beginning of each month but none are planned in August, for now. We also do other types of dinners and events in the room besides the family style.

It allows us to do items that may not work so well in the rest of our place. We try to use local producers and farmers, many of which are used by other, more well known restaurants.

I would be happy to schedule one if people are interested.

I think Anthony Bourdain attended a Guerilla Dinner on his No Reservations show - I think the L.A. episode.

Some of the discussion above sounds like the 'guerilla gourmet' establishments described in this article. Anyone heard of these going on around DC?
