Chef Al Nappo and Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo at Chef’s Best

More than 50 DC celebrity chefs and mixologists turned out to serve their signature dishes for Chef’s Best on June 14. This annual fundraiser marked the 20th anniversary of Food & Friends, a charitable organization that provides food and nutrition counseling to people with life-challenging illnesses.

Executive Chef Al Nappo prepared and served Founding Farmers’ house-made blue crab ravioli in tomato basil butter with goat cheese.  From sister restaurant, Farmers & Fishers, his team also served gazpacho with tortilla strips and chocolate-covered bacon lollipops.

Jon Arroyo, Chief Mixologist for both restaurants and Alembic Cocktail Catering, served a refreshing summer cocktail. The Alembic Summer Punch Royale is a delicious combination of Pisco, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime, lemon and a little sparkling wine.

The chefs, food, cocktails and the auction surely made this a night to remember.
