"On Capitol Hill I learned that Osteria La Spiga has launched the Future of Diversity Guest Chef Program: head chef and co-owner Sabrina Tinsley invites local BIPOC chefs to take over the kitchen one day each month to prepare three-course takeout meals while Tinsley conducts live Zoom interviews; Tinsley and her husband and co-owner Pietro Borghesi supply ingredients, equipment access, and online ordering, guest chefs receive 20 percent of meal proceeds plus tips and can earn extra from add-on sales of their own branded products, and the program—which started with Mahogany Williams of the Pickled Chef in February and Natalie Evans with Carlington Noble in March—has seen strong sales and positive Zoom responses with hopes to run through at least the end of 2021 and expand beyond." - Gabe Guarente
