According to Food Network Chef Robert Irvine the Devil-ish Eggs Combo at Founding Farmers is “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” Chef Irvine sampled the decadent treats while visiting Washington, DC and he will feature his delicious experience on Season 4 of the popular Food Network program for a Reinvented Classics episode.
A crew spent Tuesday afternoon at Founding Farmers capturing the preparation process from peeling to plating, and interviewed Concept Developer and Managing Partner Dan Simons about the restaurant’s sustainability practices.
Executive Chef Al Nappo revealed his tricks for reinventing a classic family dish by adding fresh lobster, crab, smoked salmon and a few secret ingredients that make the filling so unforgettable. His chef tip: Slice a small sliver from the bottom of each egg half, so they lie flat and don’t wobble on the serving board.
Founding Farmers serves up over 1,000 cage-free Devil-ish Eggs each month. From the classic to the three seafood varieties, these gourmet bar snacks are in high demand. According to the film crew, Chef Irvine enjoys his Devil-ish Eggs with a beer, washing down each egg in one bite.
Stop in and sample one or all four varieties, and stay tuned for the Reinvented Classics episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate this Fall on Monday nights at 9:00 pm.
More than 1,000 Washingtonians piled into the National Building Museum on July 21 to sample and sip some of DC’s best food and drink at Washingtonian Magazine’s annual Best of Washington party. The evening benefited the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and featured signature dishes and libations from more than 60 Washingtonian Best of Winners for 2010. Chef Al Nappo served bacon lollis and chili-lime popcorn to eager attendees who enthusiastically returned for seconds and thirds. This year’s event theme, “The Greatest Show on Earth” certainly had some of the best food in town.
