Corner Bakery Café
Cuisine, North AmericaLast week, we at Scenic Runway attended a Media Tasting Event at the Corner Bakery Café in Arlington, Virginia, a short distance from Washington, DC for their new “Grilled Flats” menu. The decision to have the event in their outdoor sitting area on a beautiful summer morning was an excellent idea. The casual relaxed environment was a great place to enjoy the new UnFlat Menu. Prior to the event, I had been a guest at several Corner Bakery Café locations in Washington, DC and downtown Chicago. On each occasion in addition to the delicious food, the staff has always been very welcoming. It’s the feeling you get when someone welcomes you into their home.

The Corner Bakery Café was founded in 1991 and now has restaurants in 21 states and Washington, D.C. Chef Ric Scicchitano, Executive Vice President, Food & Supply Chain was on the Corner Bakery’s first culinary team. He provided the attendees with a cooking demonstration of the Grilled Flats, a portion of which we recorded (see below). At the end of the event there was a drawing to win a grill. The same grill Chef Scicchitano used during his cooking demonstration. Sadly, we did not win the grill but congratulations to the winner!
