The District, Maryland and Virginia
Inside the District we cook on rowhouse patios and rear parking pads in Capitol Hill, Petworth and Brookland, and in the larger yards of Northwest. Across the line it is Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville and Bowie in Maryland, and Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Reston in Virginia. Travel within 50 miles is a single flat charge, which covers nearly the whole region.

Practical matters
My rowhouse patio is narrow. Will it work?
Often, yes. The grill needs about ten by ten feet of level, open-air space. A rear parking pad off the alley is a common solution.
Is street parking a problem for the chef?
The chef needs to unload near the cooking area. An alley, driveway or a reserved spot out front helps a great deal.
Can you accommodate dietary and religious restrictions?
Tell us in advance. Tofu and seafood are available, pork is not on the menu, and individual plates can be cooked first on a cleaned surface.
