Chevy Chase Cafe Terasol Gets Caucus Room Chef

The Parisian cafe/art gallery south of Chevy Chase Circle has a new chef—and a new kitchen.

 

Terasol—a Parisian cafe/art gallery south of Chevy Chase Circle—has a new chef: Hector Guerra, from The Caucus Room, in downtown Washington, DC, The Washington Post reported.

The business, located at 5010 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC, is "a café situated in a veritable art gallery," according to its website.

To entice Guerra from The Caucaus Room to Terasol, owner Alan Moin had to upgrade the kitchen, at Guerra's request, The Post reported:

"He didn’t have a kitchen," says Guerra, whose idea of a proper workspace includes more than a convection oven, an electric stovetop and a refrigerator. "For me to come" from the Caucus Room downtown, "I couldn’t just do sandwiches. I wanted to do some real cooking." 

Guerra started cooking at Terasol in September. The cafe's menu includes: omelettes, chocolate croissants, crepes, onion soup, croque monsieur, steak frites, beef Bourguignon, grilled salmon, chocolate bread pudding, chocolate mousse and a variety of salads and quiches.
