Some more food stuff and proof that I’ve been trying to be less of a hermit when I’m not at work. 😂
- Pasta w/ Anchovies, Garlic, Chiles, and Kale. Ciabatta w/ Butter & Anchovies. Damn tasty.
- Fried rice w/ Spam, Red Bell Pepper, Carrot, & Cabbage in Stir Fry Sauce of Oyster, Soy, Fish Sauce and Chili Crisp and a little Cornstarch. Served w/ Asian Pear Kimchi
- Spam & Sauteed Kale Benedict w/ Homemade Hollandaise. So f’in delicious. Won’t pretend it was healthy even with the Kale though. Worth it.
- Caramelized Onion Pasta w/ Crispy Prosciutto & Pecorino. Added a little Whole Grain Mustard
- First time making Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and gotta say it was pretty tasty and way easier than I’d expected
- Burrito stuffed w/ Shrimp & Rice cooked in aforementioned Tomatillo Salsa, Avocado, and Cherry Tomatoes. Just look at that cross-section
- Late night Nachos w/ leftover Tomatillo Shrimp Rice & Cheese. Starch on Starch. How could that be bad
- Fermented Watermelon w/ Lime and Jalapeño. Not 100% on what I’m gonna do with it
- Birthday party for the inimitable Sam Sanchez
- Next few were a Pop-up at Mita w/ Josue & Al for Hispanic Heritage Month. Bunch of good food and drinks as expected
- Got to hear Fred Noe talk whiskey
- Had Julia Momose teach me about Shochu
- Visited Press Club for a cpl of great drinks
- Great dinner w/ Knob Creek. Obvi the Bone Marrow bites and luge of 18yr Old were standouts
- Finally a fun & tasty dinner hosted by Planteray at Your Only Friend featuring some family recipes like this Fried Fish from Shannon Mustipherthat I was lucky enough to be included in

Inspired by @tatianamorarangel from @mita_dc, a vegan take on ceviche built around coconut and thoughtfully plated for VIP service at the @mubadaladcopen.

It was an honor to collaborate between chefs, and serve at scale.

Hay encuentros que llenan el corazón de una manera difícil de explicar. 🤍

Después de tanto tiempo sin vernos, recibir a Édgar Ramírez en este espacio tan mío, sentarlo en nuestra mesa y verlo disfrutar del menú que hemos creado con tanto amor fue un regalo inmenso.

Que bonito fue volverse a encontrar. Y aunque el tiempo pase y la vida nos lleve por lugares distintos, hay afectos que permanecen intactos.

Ver todo lo que has construido, todo lo que has logrado y la persona que sigues siendo me llena de un orgullo enorme. Y poder recibirte hoy aquí, en este sueño que también representa tantos años de trabajo, esfuerzo y pasión, hizo este reencuentro todavía más especial.

Gracias, Édgar, por venir, por compartir nuestra mesa, por probar nuestra cocina y, sobre todo, por regalarnos este encuentro tan bonito.

Qué alegría volver a verte. Qué orgullo verte brillar. Y qué felicidad haber podido recibirte en casa. 🤍✨

Some tables are about more than what’s being served…

This one brought Venezuela & Colombia together through food, friendship and the shared hope of giving something back to the places we call home🇻🇪🇨🇴

Thank you to everyone who joined us🙏🏼

DC restaurant week is upon us and what does that mean you may ask? eating the best plant based food in dare i say the entire district. headed over to @mita_dc for their restaurant week tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious. i’m not going to try to explain how each dish tasted because it was all flavors i’ve never had before. the service and ambiance was excellent and i will be back again for their normal tasting menu! love you, MITA💚

Mondays, but make them Mexico.

Lou Bernard of @mita_dc and Al Thompson of @floreriaatlanticodc take over the bar at Amparo, slinging cocktails built for a long night, with @mezcalderrumbes pours moving through the agave landscape of Mexico.

A little humo. A little hielo. A lot of mezcal.

Come early. Leave late.
