"The Herbfarm, co-founded by Ron Zimmerman and his wife Carrie Van Dyck, is a celebrated farm-to-table restaurant known for its nine-course meals built around seasonal themes. It has won numerous accolades and is a significant part of the Slow Food movement. The restaurant started as an herb farm offering herb gardening and cooking classes before evolving into a high-end dining destination. Despite a fire in 1997 and a relocation in 2001, it remains one of the most famous and expensive dining spots in Washington. As of 2021, it is owned by Chris Weber and Jack Gingrich." - Harry Cheadle
