Greek chef Christoforos Peskias (of 48 the Restaurant in Athens) twists recipes to provide unexpected contrasts of flavor, temperature and texture. On Sunday, September 7th, DC residents will get to see what all the fuss is about when Peskias prepares a meze-style tasting dinner at Zaytinya, with menu items including pork belly souvlaki “sous vide” with tzatziki foam, and roasted eggplant with tomatoes, onions and feta ice cream (5–8 PM; $75 per person; $65 for members of Les Dames d’Escoffier; for reservations, call 202-973-2168); P.S. if you can’t make this preview dinner, Zaytinya will be serving Peskias’ signature dishes as part of its Greek Modern Festival from September 8th–22nd.
