New Menu and New Chef = Modern American Bistro at SILO
WASHINGTON, DC – April 4, 2014:
In only three months, Silo has become a popular eating and drinking
destination in DC’s Mount Vernon Triangle. Now, spring is ushering in
some fresh changes to reflect the casual, laid-back style of our
neighborhood and clientele. With the departure of Chef George Vetsch, Chef Michael Walters has joined the Silo team as a consulting Chef. He’s working alongside Chef de Cuisine Calvin Di Giovanni, who’s been with us since opening, to turn out Modern American Bistro appetizers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts to be enjoyed either at the bar or at your table. Silo’s mixologists will add new hand-crafted cocktails to
the bar list by next week, to accompany the 12 beers already on tap, and rotating wine list.
NOW IN THE KITCHEN AT SILO:
Michael Walters, Chef
Chef
Michael Walters has joined the Silo team as a consulting Chef who has
revamped the menu with Modern American Bistro Food. He spends his
mornings as the Production Chef at Barcelona Wine Bar & Restaurant,
and the evenings in the kitchen at Silo.
Chef
Walters got his start in the restaurant business working for the
renowned Jean-Louis Palladin at his famed Jean-Louis Restaurant at The
Watergate. Palladin quickly promoted Walters from dishwasher to grill
cook, teaching Walters how to grill the perfect steak. From there,
Walters went on to work as a chef in the kitchens of other well-known DC
chefs Michel Richard, José Andres, and Roberto Donna. Eventually,
Walters branched out and opened his own restaurant, Good Luck Cafe in
Tampa, FL, which earned a spot in USA Today’s 2006 “Top Five Culinary
Destinations.” He returned to DC and opened The Brightwood Bistro before joining Barcelona Restaurant Group and Silo.
Calvin Di Giovanni, Chef de Cuisine
Born
in the United States, but raised in Paris, Chef Calvin Di Giovanni
began his culinary career at the early age of 16 while training in the
kitchen with the renowned Sommelier Philippe Faure-Brac at his Bistrot
du Sommelier restaurant in Paris after attending culinary high school.
At 18, he returned to New York and worked in the kitchens of Chef David
Burke, Chef Jean-Louis Peulade, and Chef (and Silver Toque Winner) Guy
Reuge. In 2013, Di Giovanni made his way to Washington, DC, landing the
position of Pastry Chef at Lavagna in Eastern Market. He then became the
Sous Chef at Pesce in Dupont Circle, before being recruited to join the
team as the Chef de Cuisine at Silo when it opened.
