Congratulations to Equinox Restaurant!

Huge congratulations go out to Chef Todd Gray and Ellen Kassoff-Gray of Equinox Restaurant in Washington, DC. They just won the 2008 “Fine Dining of the Year” award from the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington!

What makes this so special is that Todd and Ellen are both committed to local sustainable food – Todd was promoting it in his restaurant before people even knew what the term “local” meant. The mission on their website states, “Chef Gray uses fresh, organic, and local ingredients giving his food a distinctly Mid-Atlantic flavor. Equinox is fully committed to the connotation of its namesake, seasonal cooking using products harvested in accordance with the environment and the earth’s natural tempo.”

And what makes it even more special for us here at Sustainable Table is that we not only support the work that Todd and Ellen do (and love their food!), we’re hoping to be able to do something together with them in the future. Perhaps a Washington DC Rock the Grill?…. You’ll have to stay tuned to find out….
