CHEF TAKEOVERS AND NEW TASTING MENUS AT GRAFFIATO:
Chef Mike Isabella is opening his kitchens at Graffiato for both his
team and guest chefs to showcase their menus. Beginning in January,
Graffiato will offer a series of new menus and events on Sundays and
Mondays, including a unique 12-course tasting menu from sous chef, Adam
Brick; seasonal wine dinners with chef de cuisine, Marjorie
Meek-Bradley; and monthly Industry Takeover nights with guest chefs and
mixologists. Brick’s Gem Tasting Menu will be offered for $85 at the
six-seat ham bar on Graffiato’s second floor at 8 p.m. every Sunday and
Monday. The menu includes food “gems” made of often scare ingredients
like lamb neck, pig snout and tuna marrow. Reservations are taken one
month in advance by e-mailing requests to events@graffiatodc.com.
The five-course Seasonal Wine Dinners will take place one Monday per
season. The next wine dinner is set for Monday, March 11, 2013, and will
be co-hosted by Italian winemaker, Cesare Benvenuto, from Pio Cesare.
Industry Takeover Nights will occur on the first Monday of every month
from 10 p.m. - 1 p.m., starting on January 7, 2013 with Chef Bryan
Voltaggio. Visit GraffiatoDC.com for more information and future
Industry Takeover guests.
