About this Article

Some of Washington's top chefs came together to salute the president ahead of the inauguration, in part because of the first family's influence on the culture around food. Chicago-based chef Art Smith opened his Capitol Hill restaurant Art and Soul for a late-night Chefs Ball expected to attract food fans of all stripes Saturday night with its relatively low ticket price of $75. Seven celebrity chefs teamed up for the charity event to prepare delicious bites for a sold-out crowd of more than 500.
