Has anyone been to Seasonal Pantry (1314 ½ 9th Street, NW)? I was driving by there the other night on my way home. It looked so cozy and inviting on such a dreary night. According to the web site, they offer a selection of housemade pantry items (e.g. spice blends, pastas, soups and sauces), charcuterie and an in-house butcher. On weekends, they run a Supper Club with private dinners for up to twelve people and menus inspired by the best of the season. Tickets for their dinner on October 20 become available tomorrow, October 6. I don’t know if I’m brave enough, but they are also offering a Scary Parts dinner around Halloween.
They also have two very interesting classes coming up:
Monday, October 10 at 6:00 pm – Baking with Frenchie’s. Erica Skolnik, the house baker at Seasonal Pantry and owner of Frenchie’s-Handmade Pastries & Desserts will discuss all things chocolate, including the different varieties of cacao beans, tips for baking, and of course a chocolate tasting. $35 per person
Monday, October 17at 7pm – America vs Europe: Cheese Battle 2011. October has been declared “American Cheese Month” by the American Cheese Society, and what better way to honor the 1st annual celebration than by pitting American cheeses versus European! We’ll talk about and taste the difference between new world and old world cheeses, and – like the famous 1976 Tasting in Paris – decide once and for all who gets bragging rights. $40 per person.

It’s one of the coolest new culinary additions to DC’s quickly growing scene. Great ownership, awesome food, and while you’re there make sure to stop around the corner (in the alley) at Sundevich. It’s an unbelievable sandwich spot that partners with Seasonal Pantry on some things.
I had an amazing suprise birthday dinner at Seasonal Pantry. My boyfriend reserved the entire table (usually you can reserve a space or two and dine with strangers) and invited our friends for a delicious dinner. The chef was amazing, and really listened to our dietary preferences (ie vegetarian, allergies, etc). It was such a fabulous way to have a dinner party and the food was delicious. I think my favorite was the salted caramel ice cream – unbelievable!
I second the comment by Petworthwhile. This is by far the coolest addition to the DC food scene. Run, not walk to this place. Be sure to try out the sausages (the best in town) and pasta along with the other items on offer. I’ve done their dinner once and I’m itching to go back, though reservations are hard to come by- it’s on a first come first serve basis for 10spots. Dan is very nice and supremely talented.
I haven’t tried an SP dinner yet but I am definitely enticed by the concept. I stopped by the store shortly after it opened and hope it flourishes.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It’s fantastic. Dinners are a great deal, the homemade stuff from baked goods to pate is delicious. Dan is doing a great job. Exactly what that area needs.
