An incredible honor that weโre still pinching ourselves for. @chefamybdc says it best...
โThe dream started in 2012, when I was at a crossroads, to create an impressionable, defining delicious restaurant that would be authentically me. I see now that was a good decision. ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. We were gloriously underestimated, something I treasure. #truth. Long live the underdogs! Year after year, improving, improving, delivering quality and consistency. patience and passion. Our employees are the why. This is for all of them. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ.โ - Chef Amy Brandwein
Broccoli ๐ฅฆ comes in a variety of ways. I like mine roasted with tahini, blackberry, honeycomb, walnut. Only @centrolinadc

Doppio cannelloni or maybe I should say Quattro?
On the left, braised beef punctuated by golden raisin and speck via Trieste. (If you know our Casunsei pasta, this oneโs for you!)
On the right, fluffy sheep milk ricotta, lemon zest and yolk.
A trip to the wood oven and drizzled with crรจme fraiche to keep it light. Charred cipollini.

One of the many hats Iโve worn over the years. Here building @centrolinadc with @randconstruct@citycenterdc in 2014.
A restaurant is theater, the doors open every day and the play begins. ๐ญThe presentation of the menu, food, beverages, music, interior design, lighting, plates, organization - driven by knowledge, expertise and passion. The energy and vibe that comes from its employees โจ
What the public doesnโt see is the building of the foundation. Financials, projections, leases, deals, construction costs, purchasing every napkin, fork, glass and seat. While the public attributes a restaurantโs success to its hype, food, bev and service, which all obv matter, it wonโt succeed without very smart planning. Managing every aspect of the project, understanding all the aspects from experience and setting it up properly for long term viability. If the foundation is rotten , it will crumble.
