Anthony Bourdain, José Andrés to Co-Host Capital Food Fight 2009
From DC Central Kitchen:
This November, Travel Channel host and author Anthony Bourdain will take a break from his No Reservations shooting schedule to co-host DC Central Kitchen’s Capital Food Fight with the dynamic chef José Andrés. Battling chefs Michael Mina (Bourbon Steak), Mike Isabella (Zaytinya), Tracy O’Grady (Willow) and Bobby Varua (701 Pennsylvania Ave.) will take on two-time winner Barton Seaver, now Executive Chef at Blue Ridge. Their best efforts in the 10-minute, on-stage battles will be presented to a top-shelf panel of judges, including famed chef and TV personality Eric Ripert, Food Network’s Ted Allen and Carla Hall, the oh-so-poised finalist from last year’s Top Chef competition.

About DC Central Kitchen:
This year marks DC Central Kitchen’s 20th year of combating hunger and creating opportunity. The Kitchen serves as a central location to recover unused food, prepare and deliver meals to partner social service agencies, train men and women for jobs in the foodservice industry, and intellectually engage volunteers.
In the past year, 47 men and women, many of them ex-felons, gained jobs and hope through the empowerment of the Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training program. Nationally, the Kitchen expanded its network of Campus Kitchens to 20 university, college and high school campuses. Locally, the Kitchen partnered with area farms to strengthen food systems and make fresh, healthy produce more available to the entire community.
