Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

Pop Goes the Restaurant at BOURBON STEAK at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC


Spring is just around the corner, and to speed its arrival in the nation’s capital, renowned Chef Michael Mina is coming to town to present a pop-up dinner experience from his popular The MINA Test Kitchen restaurant. Mina, along with Executive Chef Joe Palma, will feature an exclusive menu showcasing dishes and flavours from the Mediterranean and Middle East for one night only at BOURBON STEAK at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC on Tuesday, April 5, 2016.

With two limited seatings at 6:00 and 8:30 pm, guests will savour Mina’s native understanding of the flavour profiles of his Egyptian heritage as he and Palma playfully meld them with those of neighbouring lands of the eastern Mediterranean. The parade of inventive dishes influenced from the sun-drenched coastal countries will include:

Spicy brokaw avocado, schug, fried walnuts, shaved radishes, pickles, katafi

Roasted cauliflower and crispy chicken skin hummus, dried cherries, marjoram, roasted garlic, Tenbrink olive oil
Border Springs lamb trio in matbucha – meatball, loin, shoulder
Mango sesame tarta, lime and green cardamom frozen yogurt
The MINA Test Kitchen dinner builds on the success of similarly themed pop-ups that the James Beard Award-winning chef has recently hosted at The MINA Test Kitchen in San Francisco. Here at BOURBON STEAK, each course will be expertly paired with wines from the most extensive cellar in town; and don’t be surprised if Palma keeps the flavours alive by adding a favourite item from the evening to his lunch menu.


The pop-up will transform a private room at BOURBON STEAK into another world across the sea with warm blues, whites, tans, sands and textiles by the expert hand of interior designer Mark Chaikowski Design. The flavours that strike the palate will be every bit as refreshing as the scenery: and will evoke a good feeling of warmer days ahead.
