When you dine out, you might think about the ingredients that go into your food, but you probably don’t think about all the numbers that make your meal happen. Restaurants are filled with interesting figures that might not be apparent when you bite into an enticing entrée or take a sip of a signature cocktail, but they’re all around you.
This week we take a trip over to Dupont Circle’s Urbana. When the culinary and bar teams aren’t cooking and crafting cocktails, they’re growing tomatoes, making an astonishing amount of sausage, and watching old 007 films to get inspiration for Bond-worthy beverages.
