Chef Five Bites: Todd and Ellen Gray

Today's edition of chef eats is a double dose from local food advocates and co-owners of the temporarily out-of-commission Equinox , Todd and Ellen Gray. Metrocurean was sad to hear the news, all the way in Asia, that Equinox suffered a bad fire Dec. 18. The Grays hope to reopen in mid February, and according to the web site, they are taking reservations starting Feb. 22. Wishing them a speedy and painless rebuild!

Here are Ellen Gray’s bites:

1. Ginger salad at Spices

2. A dozen mixed oysters at Old Ebbitt Grill

3. Hummus and pita bread at Lebanese Taverna

4. Falafel at Amsterdam Falafelshop

5. Chocolate and espresso buttercream cupcake at Buzz Bakery

And chef Todd Gray’s:

1. Any kind of mussels from Brasserie Beck

2. Buttermilk brined fried chicken at Market Salamander

3. The Chic P salad with whole grain bread at Sweetgreen

4. Chocolate salty oat cookie at Teaism

5. The rainbow roll at Spices

Chic P is hands down the best salad at Sweetgreen, and the chocolate salty oat cookie at Teasim rules my world. Just sayin'

I'm impressed that the Grays apparently frequent Spices, which is not the hautiest of DC places (although one of my top 3). For that I'm even willing to forgive her falafel semi-misstep and the mere mention of something from Lebanese Taverna.
Salty oat cookie YESSSSSS
