Chef Benjamin Cadmus

http://chefbenjamincadmus.wordpress.com/

My name is Benjamin Cadmus and I am the Executive Chef for the United States Senate. I will be using this blog to update readers on menu items and offerings which are both local and sustainable to keep up with our greening efforts on Capitol Hill. The recipes will be focused on my offerings at my weekly Chef’s Table every Wednesday afternoon in the cafeteria of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Stop by to say hello and try one of my unique dishes.
