DC Urban Oasis

DC Urban Oasis presents Bloom & Root, an intimate supper club brunch led by Chef Chris Scott, Top Chef alum and James Beard–nominated author of Homage. When Scott's great-grandparents left the tidewater coast of Virginia and settled in Pennsylvania's Amish country, they weren't just moving—they were planting something. Southern cooking took root in new soil, met Dutch and German and Amish traditions, and over generations grew into something that belonged fully to neither place and completely to both.Chef Chris spent years naming that cuisine before the world was ready to hear it: Amish soul food emerged. Now, Chef Chris cooks toward evolution—how we grow and move on from places and ideas, the way nothing in nature stays the same. Flowers bloom, fall, and return, often more beautiful than before. The flavors and techniques of where we once were become inspiration and guide rather than script. We step into our own while never forgetting where we came from.WHAT TO EXPECT- Highly curated communal experience- 4+ course meal with fellow food enthusiasts- Chef and host narratives on history and technique- Welcome beverage upon arrival- Bottomless Sparkling Wine & Non-alcoholic beverages Included- Chef meet-and-greet with photo opportunity
