Living and/or eating in DC, it’s hardly a surprise to see José Andrés at one of his restaurants, out at a farmers market and just at events around town, but last Friday while Adventures in Shaw and I were having drinks and snacks and Zaytinya may be the closest we’ve been to him.

I love the slight paparazzi look to the photo, he knew I was taking their picture, but c’mon, it’s José Andrés! CBS’ 60 Minutes had a great segment on him last night by Anderson Cooper.

But for us to catch him outside, enjoying the gorgeous weather as we were, just having a chat with Chef Mike Isabella… it seemed to bring him down to a more human level. But make no mistake, we were having a serious foodie squee!! moment.
