Chef Five Bites: Rob Weland

Chef Rob Weland has helmed the kitchen at Poste Moderne Brasserie since May 2004 and in that time established the restaurant's reputation for sustainable, organic and local cuisine. (Be sure to check out the expansive patio garden on your next visit.) Prior to landing in DC, Weland was executive chef at Guastavino's in New York. Small world connection: Weland cooked under Philippe Reininger, executive chef at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's new J&G Steakhouse, in Philly at the Ritz-Carlton in 1991.
