Embassy Chefs Vie for Best Food and Beverage Titles

Global Challenge Returns After a Two-Year Absence

Brenda C. Siler WI Contributing Writer

A gastronomic overload best describes this year’s Embassy Chefs Challenge held recently at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. The competition kicked off the inaugural Events DC International City Food Festival.

A huge crowd grazed up and down two floors, sampling bites and beverages from 39 participating DC-based foreign embassies. Chefs competed to win the prized People’s Choice Award, chosen by guest voting through QR Codes. Recipients of the Judges’ Choice Award were selected by a panel of cultural and culinary influencers.

“It was great to see so many embassies turn out with such pride for their native cuisine and culture after a few years,” said Events DC Chief Creative Officer Jinhee Kim.

The Bahamas prepared a sampling of red snapper, conch, grits, and blackeyed peas in a mild brown sauce. Brazil served guests a cocktail with Cachaça, the country’s 500-year-old national spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice. Another favorite came from Azerbaijan, a country located at the border of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Their table prepared a green salad with shaved cheese, garnished with pomegranate-marinated cherries. Mozambique served a plate of shrimp turnovers, pureed mung beans and a mango-bell pepper salad. Announcing the winning chefs culminated this upbeat, colorful progressive munch and sip event. Chefs Xianlong Yang, Yuechao Zhao and Song Lin representing the Embassy of China took first place in the Judge’s Choice category with their fish-flavored shrimp balls and mapo tofu. Chef Alam Mendez representing the Embassy of Mexico won second place in the category with pork belly tamalitos with guajillo salsa and nopal (cactus) salad. Placing third, Chef Trevon Stoute representing the Embassy of Barbados who served a popular plate of crispy pork mille-feuille.

The People’s Choice winners were Chef Erwin Villarias representing the Embassy of The Philippines taking home first place with chicken inasal and majin ube. Coming in second was Chef Muhammad Asghar and Cultural Attaché Maliha Shahid from the Embassy of Pakistan with chicken tikka and gulab jamun. Chef Boris Ghazarian representing the Embassy of Armenia placed third with seasoned lamb and vegetables over rice, pomegranate sorbet and labneh ice cream with saffron.

The night ended with the announcement of the Challenge’s Best Beverage Award given to mixologist AJ Johnson representing The Dominican Republic. Johnson’s drink combined Brugal Extra Viejo, Chinola liqueur, sherry, orange, mint syrup, and cinnamon. Based on loud cheers, attendees enjoyed that drink.

“Congratulations to all the chefs and mixologists who competed. This event is only possible because of them,” Kim said. “Here’s to many more years of friendly and delicious competition.”

“Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes” Is Worthy of Our Attention

A Bassist is Beyond Jazz

Brenda C. Siler WI Contributing Writer

The documentary “Ron Carter: Finding the Right Notes,” is a gift to be cherished. Premiering October 21 on PBS, this film covers a life of accomplishments with respect given by a parade of music artists who appreciate what Carter has given to every form of music.

Carter, 85, is a giant in music physically at 6’4” and he holds the Guinness title for being the most recorded bass player. He maintains a busy recording and concert schedule with performances around the world. Audiences can’t wait to see the artist addressed as “Maestro” by fellow musicians and fans.

“Finding the Right Notes” is more than the title of this documentary directed by Peter Schnall, it also captures Carter’s drive to discover more.

“My favorite thing is trying to find the right notes to get to a different level,” shares Carter early in the film.

Pianist, composer, bandleader and actor Jon Batiste interviews Maestro in between as Carter reflects on his upbringing, obstacles encountered while pursuing his music dreams, and the loss of fellow musicians and loved ones. A member of trumpeter Miles Davis’ second greatest quintet during the 1960s, Carter, along with pianist/composer Herbie Hancock, saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter and the late drummer/composer Tony Williams were ready to make magic with their sound.

Beginning as Carter was approaching his 80th birthday, “Finding the Right Notes” took six years to complete. Maestro doesn’t dodge anything. His commitment to his music is clear, as is his appreciation for working with others and his family.

“Ron is a solid person,” says Hancock.

Carter is in demand beyond jazz which is why he has more than 2,500 recording credits. He per-

Mammogram Van at FedEx Field Centers Equity Issues Around Breast Cancer Health Care

Hannah Lichtenstein Commanders.com

A superhero-like presence made an appearance at FedExField on Monday, October 17th. "You can't see it but this van right here has a cape, because it saves lives," Vicky Russell-Walton said to the crowd at Legends Plaza.

The villain that van will help fight is not any bad actor from a Marvel movie, but rather the very real and prevalent threat of breast cancer. Run by Breast Care for Washington, the mammogram van was the main feature of the Commanders' inaugural breast cancer awareness health fair and is the only facility to offer state-of-the-art 3D mammography to medically underserved populations east of the Anacostia River. As an important resource that can move to serve communities at no cost to patients, the mammogram van helps to address life-ordeath health equity issues.

Numerous studies have shown that breast cancer disproportionately impacts women of color. Dr. Regina Hampton, a breast cancer surgeon for last 17 years who spoke at the BCA health fair, has become intimately familiar with that fact and her concern led her to her life's work. "Women of color tend to get breast cancer at younger ages so that presents a challenge to a lot of providers who are not aware of that," Hampton said. "Many times, these women are told 'Oh, you're too young, come back when you're 40.'…that may be too late. When she does finally get evaluated, it's usually a more advanced stage cancer…So it's really about trying to educate the community to be empowered to say, 'No I've got this problem. Please take a look.'"

As Prince George's County's leading breast surgeon and the founder of Breast Care for Washington, Hampton has committed herself to make a difference and trying to change this troubling phenomenon. Breast Care of Washington's mammogram van has become an invaluable tool in that pursuit. "The van is about being right in the community where the need is greatest," Hampton said. "We're really happy to partner with the Commanders to make this successful in the community."

Dorothy Duppins, a PG County resident for 25 years, was so excited to hear that the mammogram van was coming to Landover. Duppins, who popped by FedExField on Monday to get her mammogram, feels encouraged by the impact an initiative like this can have. "I think it's awesome because it's about community outreach," Duppins said. "Even those who don't hear about it or didn't get an e-mail

"Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad" by Matthew F. Delmont

c.2022, Viking $30 / 400 pages

Terri Schlichenmeyer WI Contributing Writer

Raise your hand.

If something's going to get done around here, you're volunteering because things need to be different and you're ready and willing to make it happen. This starts with you because, well, who else? As in the new book "Half American" by Matthew F. Delmont, there'll be no more doing things halfway.

In the time before America entered World War II, Black Americans kept their eyes on what was happening overseas, particularly in Spain. The rise of fascism during the Spanish Civil War was of particular interest to them because "fascism was Jim Crow with a foreign accent." Eighty Black Americans even volunteered to fight against the Nationalists.

Their efforts caught the attention of writer Langston Hughes, who was hired by a Black-owned newspaper to follow the American soldiers, and report about it. While in Spain, he described the "realities of war," but he also noticed something that astounded him: "'in this anti-fascist army,' Hughes wrote, 'Negroes and whites marched, trained, and fought together.'"

Benjamin O. Davis graduated from West Point in 1936, and had his sights set on a career in the military. Davis, says Delmont, "desperately wanted to be a pilot" but such opportunities weren't then available to a Black man, no matter what his accomplishments. Davis, and other Black U.S. soldiers had to battle racism within the ranks first.

Pullman union leader A. Philip Randolph organized a march on Washington for the rights of soldiers and homefront workers. Thurgood Marshall, chief lawyer for the NAACP, became "energized" by his work for equality, particularly that of Black Americans who wanted to volunteer to "serve their country without being degraded by their countrymen."

But, says Delmont, that "was only half the fight. Victory would be incomplete unless it also uprooted white supremacy. … These dual war aims coalesced under a slogan that came to define the Black American experience during the war: Double V."

No matter how much you think you know a subject, there are always stories you're missing. On the topics of racism and war, "Half American" will tell you some tales.

This is one of those books that fills in the blanks on the things you missed in history class — or the things you were never told in the first place. The stories in here are stunning and quite moving, but also frustrating, even 90 years after the fact. It's like sitting at the VFW, listening to old war stories that were told in a whisper but that need shouting.

Author Matthew F. Delmont, who is a history professor at Dartmouth College, explains that his research and this story as a whole "has forced me to see the war with fresh eyes."

Readers, whether veterans or not, should agree.

Beware that this book can occasionally seem a bit academic — it's heavy with dates and site names, but the feeling passes quickly enough that armchair historians can still enjoy it greatly. If you need to know more about Black history in World War II, find "Half American" and raise your hand.
