The event was hosted by Mozaic, a local non-profit that works with refugees to help them find housing, jobs, and other resources.

Having lunch with Chef Art Smith is a bit like combining a family dinner, a gastronomic dream and an hour with US Weekly into two hours at a table. DCist recently got the chance to attend a lunch the chef was hosting at his D.C. restaurant, Art and Soul, where he shared some of his favorite dishes from the menu and all the stories of the people he’s cooked for that could fit into two hours.
