701's Chef Trent Contry demonstrates the Art of Cooking at Arts on Foot

Since October 1980 when my roommate and best friend, Frank Gramarossa, and I travelled back to WDC from NYC to assist Creative Foods, now Design Cuisine, in the catering of a World Bank event at the National Gallery of Art, other than photography, cartering has been my greatest passion. So when during the Arts On Foot Festival that I'd observe Chef Trent Conry, from 701 Restaurant, in the process of a cooking demonstration my first reaction or, perhaps, inclination, was to ... assist him.

As it is always, in the fall of the year, and just after Labor Day that catering, in WDC, shifts into full swing.

Instead, I'd settle with photographing him.
