Chewing the Fat: Bourbon Steak's Michael Mina

Now that we know the outcome of the 2009 Capital Food Fight to benefit D.C. Central Kitchen, we have to wonder whether Chef Michael Mina was laying it on a little thick last week when he said he was scrambling to try out some recipes that he could whip up in 10 minutes. Mina wound up the big winner at the Iron Chef-inspired cooking competition, seizing the title from former two-time champ Barton Seaver and out-slicing, -spicing and -dicing the likes of Bryan Voltaggio, Mike Isabella and others. When he sat down to talk with DCist earlier that day, however, he was just hoping to make it past round one.

What's Your Sign?

We know it can be hard to approach that fine young thing sitting at the bar. And that's why Bourbon Steak has been trying to improve their patrons' game with hopefully slightly less embarrassing consequences. They've come out with a series of 10 coasters with classic pick up lines that you can slyly flip over and slide to your neighbor. Each coaster has a convenient spot for writing down your phone number. The current ones include favorites such as, "Are you legs tired? Because you have been running through my mind all night," and, "I couldn't help noticing you, noticing me, noticing you."

Dish of the Week: Whipped cream
