Item Description

Home away from Home Restaurant
It's hard to describe the hospitality and beauty of one of Sidra Forman's 1508 Home Restaurant. No wonder these types of settings have become so popular. The company is usually charming, the flowers gorgeous (and often from FFM favorite Bob Wollam) and the food sublime and fun. You truly will feel that you are 'home". Here is a description of your host and her philosophy:

"As chef, writer, speaker, florist, gardener and mom, we have a practice that integrates aesthetics, nutrition and health. We find pleasure inseparable from necessity. We live and work at a city studio with an urban garden that produces food and flowers for our work, family and friends. We cook with what we grow or use ingredients from local and 'best practice' sources.Currently I am chef and food writer for Bob Greene'sBestlife Diet. I write and lecture about food, gardening and symbiosis. I have a flower and urban garden business where I use flowers, plants and seeds from 'best practice' sources (sidraforman.com). All the gardens have edible components. I run a Home Restaurant, sometimes Nomadic".

This is dinner for two, and includes cocktails and passing food, a multi-course seated meal, wine pairings and gratuity. Previous menus and more information can be found at sidrapractice.com. You won't be sorry if you win two of the best foodie seats in the city. Home Restaurant is usually (but not always!) located at 1508 6th Street, NW.
