Guacamole for all!

We went out to dinner the other night at a new (to us and downtown DC) restaurant--Oyamel. Now, as people in the loop about food and restaurants in DC know, this is a venture started by Chef Jose Andres, who also runs Jaleo, minibar & Cafe Atlantico, and Zaytina. In addition, he's won awards, done a TV show in his native Spain, and is a Chair Emeritus of the Board of Directors of DC Central Kitchen, a non-profit dedicated to fighting poverty and hunger in DC.

In honor of Chef Andres, and because of the high percentage of restaurants in Penn Quarter that bear his mark, I propose that we rename Penn Quarter "Jose Andres Quarter."

Who's with me?

At his prices, perhaps we should call it Jose Andres Fiver. Or Jose Andres 20-Spot.

But the man sure can cook!

He's from Spain but he's running a Mexican restaurant?

For that matter, he also runs a Middle Eastern restaurant, a Latin American restaurant and a Spanish tapas restaurant.

This guy knows food.
