Robert Aikens

Espita Mezcaleria, Washington, D.C.

At Espita Mezcaleria in Washington, D.C., centuries of Oaxacan culinary tradition and the bounty of the Mid-Atlantic collide to create a cuisine chef Robert Aikens insistently calls “authentic, not traditional.” Join the talented British expat for a special Beard House evening packed with extraordinarily innovative Mexican fare.
