Sample Bites and Sips from Around the World at the Events DC Presents Embassy Chef Challenge

Embassy chefs gather to serve up signature dishes hoping to win the People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice Awards

A sensational way to experience a country’s culture is through its food. The 8th Annual Events DC presents Embassy Chef Challenge, a Cultural Tourism DC signature event, on Wednesday, May 25, at 6:30 pm at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center offers that chance on a grand scale.

Guests can nibble their way through an abundant array of foods and drinks prepared by 18 global culinary representatives from South America, Asia, Africa, Europe plus a solid showing from the Caribbean nations. So, you can begin the evening quaffing British Virgin Islands’ rum-infused “Painkiller” along with sips of Guatemalan Gazpacho del Enchilada as you stroll through and sample offerings as diverse as the Czech Republic’s bacon wrapped duck pate, Uzbek plov and Ghanaian black-eyed pea and shrimp fritters. Wind up the night with an Arabic coffee from Qatar. All the while, you will be entertained by live music and dance from around the world.

A panel of local celebrity chefs, including Manny Rodriguez of Kapnos at Reagan National Airport, who was last year’s Challenge champion, Ris Lacoste of Ris Restaurant, Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve and renowned food writer and commentator Monica Bhide will award the Judge's Prize. Each attendee will have an opportunity to taste and cast their own vote to decide the People's Choice Award winner.
