Summer Picnic Series: About a year ago, Hosan Lee came to Washington, DC to design and launch Number 68 Project, a creative social experiment that used the dinner party as a vehicle to bring people together and get beyond the chit chat. These sold-out dinners caught the attention of The New York Times, the Post, Eater, the influential global trend forecaster PSFK, and others. From that test, she is now organizing a 9-week Summer Picnic Series to launch her new company, TableTribes. Every Sunday evening through August 26, internationally renowned thought leaders and DC's top chefs and mixologists will share their unique insights on a different topic concerning the collective human experience. Invitations to the Series are issued based on an application, with hard-hitting questions like how one's life might taste as a pie. The application is meant to be fun (clearly) and the event is not meant to be "exclusive"--the idea is to get a group of interesting and interested people together each Sunday for awesome unfussy food on blankets and spirited conversation.
With tomatoes in peak season, now is the perfect time to celebrate the abundant tomato harvest with Jaleo’s Annual La Tomatina Festival at all three Jaleo locations. From August 6th through August 12th, José Andrés and the culinary team at Jaleo, led by head chef Ramón Martínez, will be hosting a week-long event that celebrates the bounty of delicious tomatoes with a taste of Spain. Paying tribute to the famous tomato battle that takes place in Buñol, Spain, Jaleo will feature a variety of tomato menu specials as well as the refreshing “1959” cocktail, a delicious drink of tomato water, fresh basil and gin named after the year La Tomatina was officially established.
