Granted, my reputation is generally of a snark slinging curmudgeon, but in the past when it came to New Heights I heaped praise on the previous chefs. I hope to do the same for your son, just as soon as I get back there, and seeing a proud father standing up for his son's reputation makes me want to go sooner rather than later.
P.S. what do you recommend on the menu to get the best sense of your son's culinary vision?

[As much as I want to climb up on top of the Washington Monument with a megaphone, my hands are ethically bound, pop. Combine that with the "friends with Don Rockwell penalty" and you have ... silence. ]
I understand completely!!

I've been somewhat frustrated in the lack of recognition lately for the Executive Chef at New Heights, Logan Cox. Tom Seitsma's Fall Dining Guide makes no mention of this talented chef although New Heights received 2 1/2 stars from Tom. Other restaurants listed received lower reviews??? This 30 year old chef is spot on with his offerings and has continually upgraded the menu at New Heights. He is good friends with Tarver King at the Ashby Inn and received the same score from Tom. Many chefs in the area are confused by this ommision. We eat in all of the fine dining restaurants including Trummers in Clifton and the Ashby Inn and all of the DC establishments (Palaena, Citizen, Citronelle, etc.) and haven't found any meal that has better flavors and a better value than Logan's Cox's (yes, my son) at New Heights. Give me some comments to ease my frustration. Greg Cox

That sounds interesting! Will watch for more information. ( I spent one night in Orvieto in October, but did not eat at Chef Polgeri's restaurant.)
On several occasions my son and wife, my daughter and husband and my wife and I have eaten in Orvieto at Chef Lorenzo's restorante. It was a wonderful experience and Chef Lorenzo is a very charismatic person. We have already reserved 14 seats for the event. Greg Cox

Chef Lorenzo Polgeri, owner of Zeppelin Restorante in Orvieto, Italy will be joining Executive Chef Logan Cox at New Heights Restaurant in Woodley Park to prepare a meal on January 28th. Chef Cox studied under Chef Lorenzo in Italy and gave Cox a new passion for his profession and a greater appreciation for fresh, local products. It is expected that each chef will prepare two courses. P.S I'm Logan's Dad

Guess I stirred things up. Sorry for any embarrassment but my words are very objective as you know. Pop
