Derek Brown - The Quintessential 21st Century Washingtonian, @ The Q&A Cafe 5pm This Evening

DEREK BROWN, CENTER, ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT JULIA CHILD AWARD DINNER WITH PATRICK O'CONNELL, LEFT, AND DANIEL BOULUD, RIGHT. 

A reminder that this evening, October 23, we welcome Derek Brown to The Q&A Cafe. He’s been called the “Godfather of Washington Mixology” but he calls himself a businessman, bartender, restaurant entrepreneur. He’s also a sought after lecturer and writer — here, across the country and around the world. Even the White House called Derek to create cocktails at a private party held by President and Mrs. Obama. He founded the Columbia Room speakeasy, the Passenger, Eat the Rich, Southern Efficiency and Mockingbird Hill. There's more here at Wiki. Check out some of his columns for The Atlantic.

I call him the quintessential 21st Century Washingtonian because of articles such as this one. 

Those lucky folks who are at this show will be privy to some very cool news, too. 

DEREK BROWN TALKING COCKTAIL PARTICULARS AT JULIA CHILD GALA THURSDAY NIGHT

Derek is fascinating and you’ll want to be at the George Town Club to hear our interview. We'll be talking drinks and mixing drinks, which is why the start time is 5pm, this allows for a couple of drinks for you, (or not, up to you) and some food, and for the all inclusive price of $35. For reservations, please call the GTC at 202-333-9330, or email GTC Reservations. Derek's bringing a bartender with him, who will whip up some new classics while we talk. 

Coming to the show on November 20, DC’s popular morning drive-time radio host, Tommy McFly. You’ll want to be there for that, too. Lunchtime.
