A celebrity chef is kind of like a rockstar. A rockstar who can make delicious things. While bands spend a good part of their career on the road, it’s no surprise that chefs have taken to touring, as well. The Celebrity Chef Tour, benefiting the James Beard Foundation, is making its way across the USA and Canada right now.
The tour stopped in DC on May 6th to set up shop at Renaissance Mayflower DC where 150 guests had the unique opportunity to dine in the Grand Ballroom where Mayflower’s chef, Abdellah Aguenaou, helped make the night a success alongside celebrity chefs Richard Blais, Carla Hall, and CJ Jacobsen.
