Poste Moderne Brasserie
Kick-off spring on the Poste patio with friendly competition and seasonal desserts from DC’s top pastry talent
Poste Moderne Brasserie will host some of DC’s top pastry toques for a battle benefitting Brainfood, DC’s leading non-profit youth development organization.
Participating pastry chefs include: Casto Unson from Poste Moderne Brasserie; Caitlin Dysart of 2941 Restaurant; Meredith Tomason of Rare Sweets; Deborah Brown of Trummer’s On Main; and Carri-Anne Hamer of Pearl Dive Oyster Bar.
