After community organizing in Philadelphia, Jamie-Claire Chau decided to pivot into the restaurant business with no former experience. Now, she runs Meal Mate DC, a small team of personal chefs who bring an at-home Vietnamese restaurant experience to you. Jamie-Claire and I chatted about how important it was for Meal Mate to practice the same values cemented by Jamie-Claire's time as an organizer.

Chef Tim is the person who turned the one-person show into a real team. He's been in this chaos since early last year, working in and out of the kitchen to grow our operations to what you see today. His spotlight has been so long overdue, so please help us give him the accolades he's BEEN deserved. His creative mind has turned appetizers into art and his most kind heart has brought so much care into every client's home.

Ask him about his latest coffee & non-coffee mixologies, his perfect fresh breads, and about what's been spinning on his record player. 📀

You weren’t supposed to see this.

A private dinner, quietly at home, where the lighting is soft, there are quiet sounds of your family chatting, the table set with linen, and every course arrives like it belongs there.

No crowd. No rush. Just presence, detail, and a kind of intimacy you can’t replicate.

Five course menu, designed with love for your love.
-Hibiscus Lemon Spritzers
-Lobster Bisque with 24 hour Focaccia
-White Wine Linguine with Littleneck Clams
-Herb Crusted Lamb Chops with Parsnip Puree & Broccolini
-Whole Fried Branzino
-Tropical Fruit Tart
