Nothing’s more fun for us than helping you get to know the great local chefs in the Power Supply network cooking your food each week. Particularly true this summer when you can get your name in the hat for a private tasting with one of the chefs for you and 5 friends by sharing your small eating and moving wins in our #mypowermoment campaign (easy and fun to do).
Today, we’re dishing on Chef David the newest addition to the local chef network here in the DC-MD-VA area and the chef some lucky local eater will win a tasting with this month. Executive Chef at lots of cool spots including Balducci’s, he’s now setting the culinary course at Arlington Rooftop Bar and Grill where we caught up with him for a quick cooking demo on a quick and tasty local seafood dish (recipe below).
Having grown up in a large Italian family, learning how to cook from a very young age, the experience of gathering around a table with the ones you love influences the community spirit Chef David brings to the Power Supply table.
“I’ve always believed that Mother Nature had the hard part of either growing everything or making everything come to life so that I can put it all together. This food is fantastic as it is. I just put it together and it’s done -- it’s just naturally delicious!”
Chef David’s #mypowermoment this spring? Working with local fishermen to bring fresher fish to his customers, like the locally-sourced flounder he whipped up for us. Check it out.
