Northern Virginia chefs from 2941, Ashby Inn, FABLE Hospitality, Maple Ave Restaurant, Rappahannock Restaurant, Trummer’s on Main, and Water & Wall cooked at the prestigious James Beard House in New York last night. 

After a bombardment of outrage from guests, Meshelle Armstrong, co-owner of Restaurant Eve, restored the popular mini pink birthday cake to the restaurant’s menu and discusses what it’s like having customers become so attached to menu items. [Zagat]

Foraging backlash: “Going out into the fields to pick ingredients you either don’t need or don’t know how to use doesn’t make you a better chef.” [Gaurdian]

New chef in at Mad Fox Brewing Company, promises “epic burgers.” [Burger Days]

Food advertising in magazines and billboards was as fake as Photoshop. These days though, experts focus more on an all-natural look in a process called “making food behave”. [FastCo]
