D.C. residents want a food system that works for them, for their families, for their communities. And there are real consequences for us all when it doesn’t.
D.C. mayoral candidates have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to share how they plan to address the very real challenges our city’s food system faces. That’s why DC Food Forum has launched the “Mayoral Food Questionnaire.” We asked each candidate to share their vision with us. How DO they plan to address our food system’s challenges? What do they believe is working, and what isn’t?
Candidates have until May 10 to respond. #DCFoodForum
@eltamarindodc knows how to put together a spectacular plant based menu.
These #FutureFoodWeek specials were delicious and truly unique for DC.
What an unexpected development that El Tam now offers plant based asada from @belufoods . A must try!
And I was delighted to meet the pasty chef behind that amazing mango passion fruit cheesecake. If I'm lucky I'll be eating that in my dreams.
Final day of Future Food Week 2026.
End the week with something exceptional.
Across the DMV, chefs have been showcasing what climate-friendly, plant-forward dining can truly be and these restaurants take that experience even further.
