PS 7's Snags Gina Chersevani, Leon Baker
Chef Peter Smith's Penn Quarter restaurant PS 7's announced two big hires today: mixologist Gina Chersevani and pastry chef Leon Baker.
Chersevani has gained national recognition for her cocktail creations and developed a local following during her time behind the bar at Rasika and most recently Arlington's EatBar. Her move to Virginia a year ago caused quite a stir with fans.
Baker has collaborated with chef Morou Ouattara at Farrah Olivia and Signatures and appeared on "Iron Chef America" with him. Baker first worked with Smith at Vidalia.

But Peter Smith is no slouch. He's as hard a working chef/owner as there is in this city. Wait until after the Inauguration and go back for another visit.
PS7 is a good restaurant with a huge bar space. Gina is just the spice that bar needs to gin up the business Peter deserves.
