Chefs I recommend

Cathal Armstrong (Alexandria, VA)

Armstrong is fine dining gone eco-friendly. He and his wife own three restaurants in Old Towne, Restaurant Eve, Majestic, Eammons, and a SpeakEasy called PX. Talented chef with an Irish heritage, everything is from scratch. His Sommelier and Mixologist, Todd Thrasher, is God's best gift to the bar scene since the invention of Pisco Sours.

Restaurants I Recommend

Komi (Washington , DC)

Washington's best boutique fine dining establishment. Johny Monis is 1 part fine chef, 2 parts mad scientist, and 1 part exquisite pallate.
