The 85-year old Mayflower Renaissance DC hotel has had it’s share of notable guests (remember Monica Lewinsky and Eliot Spitzer?). The list got longer Saturday night with more glamorous names like Ewan McGregor, Ashley Judd, Dennis Quaid, Tory Burch, Kim Kardashian, and Bobby Flay.
The Grand Ballroom was instantly transformed for the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after party hosted by Capitol File magazine, Renaissance Hotels and Bing. Here’s a video provided by the Mayflower Renaissance DC about the makeover.
Chefs Cristeta Comerford and Bobby Flay took a victory back to the White House last night as they battled it out with super chefs Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse. The show started off in the White House garden with the chefs picking their own fresh vegetables and there was even a visit by the First Lady Michelle Obama.
The vegetables from the garden later became the focal point of the dishes cooked up by the masters of the kitchen. Check out more of the action at the Food Network here.
