Well it's time to play a little more. R24 will start 2 promotions next week, Tuesday April 24. 1. 3 creations and 1 concoction. A chance to sample 3 plates from the journey menu with a cocktail concoction created by Bryan the Cheftender. Tell him the booz, style and let him create. 2. Evolution menu. A way to introduce R24 and its food philosopies on another level. The Evolution menu will be an 8 course degustation created to give mid week diners a shortened dining experience. This dining option will only be available Tuesday through Thursday evenings and a reservation must be made through CityEats or 202.408.9724. We will not be able to substitute or modify the Evolution menus. As well R24 will be closed April 28th, but R24 team will be jamming and cooking at this years Sweetlife Festival, hope to see you all there.

Okay, so I'm coming down from my 7 day buzz, and was brought breakfast this morning. Hardboiled Egg, Cranberry-Corn Muffin, Oatmeal. Pretty fucking simple right? No NO NOOOOOOO. I cannot believe a world class hospital would produce food thats so inexcusable and unpalatable. The hire these people with a title called "CHEF". Come on now. I may not be the brightest on my floor but with the high cost of healthcare your fucking kitchen should produce neutering palatable food so one can feel comfort and heal. Instead a quaff of something that relics the concrete bar floor at 7 am on the west side of Detroit. So if I were to be chef for a day at JH (by the way world fucking class) here is my menu. Please interject. stone ground oats, brown sugar, sorghum broccoli quiche greek yogurt and berries 1/2 c chicken broth Does this sound complicated or simple? And what I am truly amazed about is that there are hotels the size of small towns that produce much better food at my guess a better food cost.

Celebrity Chefs Rally Around Rogue 24 for Rogue Sessions, as Chef/Owner RJ Cooper Faces Open Heart Surgery Rogue 24, Gilt City D.C., and the Food Network’s CityEats Launch Rogue Sessions, kicking off January 10th, 2012. D.C.’s James Beard Award-winning Chef RJ Cooper will be forced to step away from his brand new restaurant Rogue 24 in January to undergo open-heart surgery to correct a genetic heart defect known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which could be life-threatening if not treated. In his place, ten of RJ Cooper’s friends, and some of the nation’s most exciting chefs, will each take over Rogue 24 for a week during Rogue Sessions, including former Top Chef contestant Bryan Voltaggio and 2011 James Beard Oustanding Chef, José Andrés. The sessions will go from January 10th to March 17th, 2012. Gilt City Insider Amanda McClements (of Metrocurean) and Gilt City’s Chief Lifestyle Advisor Lee Schrager, founder of the Food Network’s South Beach and New York Food & Wine Festivals, have put together Rogue Sessions in partnership with Gilt City D.C. and the Food Network’s CityEats. Chef RJ Cooper says, "It’s in trying times that you appreciate the people you’ve surrounded yourself with. Chefs have always come together to support each other, whether borrowing tools, sharing techniques or supporting worthy causes. This is a natural extension of that support and I'm truly humbled and grateful for these very talented chefs." Chefs will be announced and seats will be sold 1-week in advance exclusively on Gilt City for $185 per person.This includes the 24-course dinner featuring twelve of the visiting chef’s dishes and twelve Rogue 24 favorites with wine and cocktail pairings by celebrity bartender Derek Brown and Beverage Director JP Fetherston. There will be 250 seats available per week (50 per night). Reservations will be handled by CityEats. Chef RJ Cooper will be donating a portion of each ticket to Share Our Strength, an organization he’s supported for 22 years, whose mission is to end childhood hunger in America. The first session will feature Chef Bryan Voltaggio of VOLT and the newly opened Lunchbox. Tickets go on sale Monday, January 2nd for the week of January 10th-14th. The roster of chefs include: José Andrés (Washington, D.C.) Chef/Owner of ThinkFoodGroup and 2011 James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Chef Tim Byres (SMOKE - Dallas, TX) Chef/Owner of SMOKE Restaurant in Dallas, featured in Food & Wine Magazine as having one of the Ten Best Restaurant Dishes in America (December 2010) Jennifer Carroll (Philadelphia, PA) Chef/Owner of Carroll Couture Cuisine, formerly of 10Arts by Eric Ripert, Le Bernardin, and season 6 of Top Chef John Currence (Oxford, MS) Chef/Owner of City Grocery Restaurant Group, 2009 James Beard Foundation award for Best Chef South, and season 3 of Top Chef Masters Scott Drewno (Washington, D.C.)
