5 Bites: Heather Henderson

Heather E. Henderson is partner at Henderson Cox, a DC-based PR and event management firm.

1. The obvious choice is to go with the bomboloni at Fiola, but every meal should begin with a proper aperitif and my go-to is Jeff Faile’s Negroni Blanco.

2. Just reading through the menu at Plume in The Jefferson Hotel is a treat, but don’t miss the fine print — most dishes feature traditional elements that you only see now in ateliers. The milk-fed poularde with Sauce Albuféra is a classic

3. It is impossible to pick a favorite dish from CityZen as chef Eric Ziebold changes the menu daily. The $50 3-course tasting menu at the bar is still the most remarkable experience in town.

4. Any cheese that Bourbon Steak pastry chef Brent Balika is plating up. His housemade creations include “Brenton Blu”, triple cream, camembert and gorgonzola dolce.

5. Quail egg with sorrel – one of the many passed dishes just to get you started at the home restaurant with Sidra Forman
