The Ark of Taste promotes the forgotten flavors of rare and regional foods that make up our country’s diverse cultural and culinary heritage. The DC Chapter will use the money donated to plant gardens at local public schools to raise awareness in the Northern Virginia community.

"We are grateful for the generosity of Open Kitchen’s owner and patrons," said Slow Food DC Co-chair, Kathryn Warner. "The community’s support is essential to our mission to celebrate local, seasonal, and sustainable food sources and preserve the culinary traditions of our region."

"I’ve always embraced Slow Food’s goal to counteract fast food and fast life," said Open Kitchen Bistro + Wine Bar owner, Hue-Chan Karles. "Their mission is an inspiration to our concept and style of cooking at Open Kitchen."
