Congressional Cemetery
Rosie Grant’s New Cookbook Compiles Recipes From Gravestones Around the World | Eater
"I interned at the historic cemetery in Washington, D.C., as part of a digital archives internship and started a TikTok account there to share what it's like to work in a cemetery; that experience launched my broader project of documenting gravestone recipes. The cemetery—Congressional Cemetery—is nestled in the nation’s capital and even holds historical tidbits like tabletop tombstones once used for picnicking. My time there shaped the project so much that my partner and I now plan to purchase a plot in Congressional Cemetery, and I'm already debating which recipe to carve on my own gravestone (I'm partial to clam linguine)." - Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton
