Chef Roberto Donna[/caption]

Join the Bailliage of Greater Washington on Zoom as we enjoy an opulent Piedmontese delivered dinner cooked by celebrity Chef Roberto Donna.

Chef Donna was born in the Piedmont region of Italy. Arriving in DC at the age of 19, he opened Galileo Ristorante only 4 years later. It was named one of the 10 best Italian restaurants in America by Wine Spectator and one of the twenty finest Italian restaurants in the world by the President of Italy. Chef Donna has trained and influenced many of the top chefs in Washington, and was named Best Chef Mid-Atlantic by the James Beard Foundation in 1996. Throughout his career, his mission has been to bring authentic high-end Italian cuisine to the United States.

Chef Donna has created an extraordinary menu exclusively for the DC bailliage that highlights flavors he grew up with. He will prepare it personally, just for us. The evening will begin with a cocktail created by Chef Donna followed by a seven-course dinner the featuring bounty of the fall harvest and the finest rare ingredients. In the hands of this expert chef, the menu simply shines. A bottle of wine from the Chaîne’s cellar accompanies the dinner.

Dinner will be delivered contactlessly to your home in the DC Metro area, and Chef Donna will join us on Zoom that evening to discuss his cuisine and answer your questions.

Please join the Bailliage of Greater Washington, DC, as we bring in the holidays in true Chaîne style with a private Zoom caviar class accompanied by a bottle of Champagne selected by the DC Chaîne’s Vice Ėchanson. In the spirit of the holidays, we are not limiting this class to those in the Washington, DC area, but are inviting confrères and guests from throughout the United States. We will taste and explore a special selection of each of eight separate caviars provided by the Caviar Company of San Francisco. The Caviar Company was founded by sisters Petra Bergstein and Saskia Bergstein, and is a known purveyor of the finest sustainable caviars. This experiential and educational event will be led by president and co-founder Petra Bergstein.

Where else but at a DC Chaîne event can you try eight different caviars side by side while sipping great Champagne, having an in-depth discussion with a caviar expert, and enjoying the Chaîne’s camaraderie of the (on-line) table? We will taste and compare 10 grams of each of the following: Golden Osetra Caviar, Russian Osetra Caviar, Kaluga Hybrid Caviar, Siberian Caviar, Royal White Sturgeon Caviar, Classic White Sturgeon Caviar, Hackleback Caviar and Paddlefish Caviar.

We will ship a bottle of Champagne to registrants directly from the DC Chaîne’s wine cellar, and the Caviar Company will separately ship (via FedEx overnight) a box containing the eight caviars and a mother of pearl spoon, along with blini and crème fraîche. (Registrants may want to have other accompaniments on hand to enjoy with the caviar such as cucumber slices, deviled eggs, slices of cooked baby potatoes, water crackers, chopped egg, chives, chopped onions, and even potato chips).

During the Zoom session, registrants will learn more about caviar, how to taste it and what to look for when indulging in it. This is a luxury tasting and not a full meal. One order should be enough for two people to taste all eight caviars.
