On July 3rd and 5th, Salvatore Dali and Auguste Rodin will share space with Thomas Jefferson at 2941 Restaurant. We are celebrating by displaying two examples of the Declaration of Independence. These rare documents are on exhibit Friday, July 3, for regularly scheduled lunch and dinner hours and from 12 pm – 8 pm on Sunday, July 5, 2009 (please note that 2941 will be closed on July 4th and 6th).
In the spirit of the holiday, Executive Chef Bertrand Chemel will create a special three-course Prix-Fixe menu priced at $58 per person that will be offered on July 5th. Sommelier Stefano Cappelli, who has been focusing on domestically grown vintages, will complement Chef Chemel’s modern French American menu with an expanded selection of notable Virginia wines, including a sparkling Chardonnay from Kluge winery and a red Bordeaux blend from Octagon, a Barboursville winery.
Reservations are available now, please call 703-270-1500.

Chef Patrick Deiss's Chocolate Cherry Baguette.
(James M. Thresher for The Washington Post)
Last year, Food and Wine's Dana Cowin reminded me in her editor's letter what a difference a good stove can make in transforming food from good to great. Her note was comforting as I prepped my poolish to recipe test Pat Deiss's Chocolate Cherry Baguette. You see, I have the world's worst oven in the world's smallest kitchen. I expected project failure.
A month or so before yesterday's article ran, I spent a Friday morning learning about baguettes and boules and sourdoughs with Pat in 2941's bakery kitchen -- a temperature-controlled area with a proofer, tons of workspace, a deck oven and a fancy mixer. Even with Pat holding my hand, I wasn't great at rolling baguettes. I overworked a loaf. I was ham-handed and clumsy. If I'd been a paid employee, I would have been fired.
