Best Dishes D.C. Editors Ate This Week: August 25 | Eater DC

"I tried this sweet-and-salty dessert at an all-pastry dinner at The Duck and The Peach, featuring resident pastry chef Rochelle Cooper and chef Kaity Mitchell (L’Ardente, Unconventional Diner). They planned a wonderful communal meal full of green basil-infused bread with burrata, a toasted meringue take on s’mores, and delicious treats like rainbow cookies and lemon-rosemary shortbread. Amongst all the sweet and savory dishes, this dessert course stood out. Layers of caramelized brown butter cake and sweet corn are topped with an incredibly creamy scoop of corn ice cream, plus popcorn, graham cracker crumbles, and flaky sea salt to balance out all of the sweetness. Cooper says that this seasonal dish will be added to the main dessert menu in the coming weeks and will only be available for a short time." - Eater Staff
