SIT WITH US
Team Cherry Bombe celebrated our most recent Sit With Us community dinner series in partnership with OpenTable at Chef Ria Montes’ Estuary at the Conrad Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The dishes at Estuary combine Chef Ria Montes’ Filipino heritage with modern American flavors. For Sit With Us, Chef Ria created a special menu inspired by the city’s famous cherry blossoms, which were a gift to D.C. from Japan.
The welcome bites included flowering shrimp with caviar, and shrimp salad on toast. The first course featured a potato pancake with yuzu kosho, miso, kewpie mayo and pickles. The second course included a cabbage-wrapped black cod with red curry and roasted squash. The final savory course was a miso-braised daikon with charred broccolini, and teriyaki sauce. For dessert, there was Estuary’s Japanese cheesecake with cherries and pink tapioca crisps.
Cherry Bombe founder Kerry Diamond welcomed all the guests and interviewed Chef Ria throughout the evening about her culinary journey.
All guests left with a copy of the new Icons Issue of Cherry Bombe Magazine and a special tote bag.
