Harvesting the Finest in Eco-Friendly Food and Drink

More than 50 DC celebrity chefs and mixologists turned out to serve their signature dishes for Chef’s Best on June 14. This annual fundraiser marked the 20^th anniversary of Food & Friends, a charitable organization that provides food and nutrition counseling to people with life-challenging illnesses.

Jon Arroyo, Chief Mixologist for Farmers & Fishers and Alembic Cocktail Catering, mixed up a refreshing summer cocktail. The Alembic Summer Punch Royale is a delicious combination of Pisco, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime, lemon and a little sparkling wine.

Executive Chef Al Nappo, from sister restaurant Founding Farmers, and his team served Farmers & Fishers favorites  gazpacho with tortilla strips and chocolate-covered bacon lollipops. From Founding Farmers, Chef Nappo prepared house-made blue crab ravioli in tomato basil butter with goat cheese.

The chefs, food, cocktails and the auction surely made this a night to remember.
