As I mentioned to some of you, I recently mentioned the EOWC to Frank Morales, the owner of Rusticos, while buying a loaf of his beer bread. The guy is a total class act. He generously (and I hope seriously) offered to allow us to come down to Rusticos to learn how he makes bread and, as a bonus, to meet with the guy who makes his charcuterie. For those of you who don't know, Rusticos is an Alexandria restaurant that focuses on simple, delicious, and local food and a staggering array of beer. They will be opening a DC branch on 14th and P in the old Dakota Cowgirl location. When we spoke 2 weeks ago, Frank indicated that they'd be cooking there in a month or so.
So, I'll get back to him because I would sure as hell like to learn to bake bread and dry meat from an expert. Before I get back to him, though, I'd like to gauge interest. Can I get a show of hands?

I've been dying to get to Rusticos, so I'm certainly in. Can't wait for Birch & Barley neither...
ReplyDeleteThe meats are less exciting to me, but nothing lures one to a new eating establishment like fresh bread! Beware all when I try to make it myself after this delicious forthcoming visit!
