Georgetown, we have a martini situation. Will Patton, the beverage brain behind Ryan Ratino’s Hive Hosptitality (Bresca, Jônt, Press Club), has built the martini menu at Ox & Olive into an actual history lesson. One running timeline, tracing the glass all the way from the original Martinez through the classic martini and into Manhattan territory. Shaken, stirred, and thoroughly educational. With me ;-D - Will’s shaking up the house Ox & Olive martini, gin fat-washed in thyme-infused olive oil, dry vermouth, lemon bitters, so basically an olive branch and a handshake in liquid form. There’s also a dirty vodka martini with a housemade olive brine, plus a chocolate martini and a twist on the Pornstar for anyone who likes their martini with a little fun in it. Up, dirty, twisted, filthy, extra filthy and most importantly cold, icy cold find me at Ox & Olive hiding, back there in the alley and you can thank me later.

This might have been the most exclusive dinner DC hosted this year where 7 Michelin starred chefs came together to collaborate on one menu creating a culinary Mosaic. Seven chefs. Ten Michelin stars. @michelinguide One unforgettable dinner. I was also in great company with my friend and Michelin guru himself, @highspeeddining as my table mate!
