Have a great time! (And damn, colo(u)r me officially homesick for the umpteenth time since leaving DC last March....)

Claiborne Pell. All I can say is thank you. I'm doing my best to give back, RIP.

Thanks goldenticket for organizing this! Fun food (loved the sardines!) and fun folks. Thanks again! (Historians: what was the name of that restaurant before it was Spezie's? I worked down the block from there 10 years ago and I cannot remember what the name was back then.)

I think I might be able to as well. Thanks!

Our stint at the Holiday Market is over ; ( and another cart will be taking our place--Korean BBQ! I plan on getting over there this week to check them out. I hear they make their own kimchee. And those donuts across the way are darned tasty! (Thanks goldenticket, goodeats, legant, srtajrosa, zora & danielk!)

Since you asked, I must put in a good word for Fresh Start Catering. (Full disclosure: I am a sales person/sometime chef/whateverneedstobedone-ist) Here's a recent WashPost article on a buffet party we did for Marriott. We are an employment project of DC Central Kitchen, and all of our profits go back into the charitable works of DCCK. You can view our menus here, or send me a PM for more info.

If they have Melty Kisses, I'm there!

The DC Central Kitchen Capital Cart is at the Holiday Market! (More info on Holiday Market here.) I'm there all weekend, so come by and enjoy some hot soup or gumbo while you check out the other booths.

Yay, thanks to all who sent b-day wishes! I fried some chicken (yum) and now I'm going to bed...that's what happens when ya get old.

Pictures! Sorry if I missed some of you, I was trying to avoid Whitt the Taskmaster.... Seriously, the kitchen crew thought all of you had mad skills and would love to have you back anytime!

Thanks for a wonderful and memorable evening and a special thanks to all of the volunteers, especially goldenticket, danielK, Whitt, rislacoste, and Oyamel for all they did to make this all happen. Pictures are coming later as I must go out of town very early in the am. (I think I might (might) have one of Rocks in a DCCK hairnet, so stay tuned.)
