The event benefiting the Arlington Food Assistance Center takes place Wednesday in Rosslyn.
Fire chiefs will take on restaurant chefs at an event benefiting the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) Wednesday evening. “We wanted to do something new,” said Joy Myers, of AFAC. “A lot of events that nonprofits host are cocktail receptions and silent auctions…this was something different.” The organization wanted to go with something food-centric for the fall fundraiser, and had heard of other cooking challenges in the area, so the idea for “Chiefs Vs. Chefs” was born. The groups will compete for the Golden Eggplant award.

Film crew profiles the Courthouse business and its king cake, a New Orleans tradition.
A British film crew spent Monday afternoon in Arlington's own Bayou Bakery, a business that's made it a priority to bring New Orleans flavor — and traditions — to the bustling Courthouse neighborhood. The focus of the shoot was the bakery's king cake, which is to Mardi Gras what pumpkin pie is to Thanksgiving. Owner and Chef David Guas talked about the making and history of the king cake to James Martin, host of the upcoming British television show "United Cakes of America." The cream cheese-filled cake is a New Orleans staple between Jan. 6 and Ash Wednesday and often has a plastic baby inside. Whoever ends up with the trinket buys the next cake. Guas said his business will not make the cake for customers outside of the carnival season. …

Each week, Patch publishes the latest round of restaurant inspection reports in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.
In Virginia, restaurant inspection reports aren't quite as simple as getting a letter grade or an easy-to-see number rating to post in the front window. That said, we all want to know how our favorite restaurants stack up on cleanliness and sanitation. In Arlington County, inspectors grade restaurants based on benchmarks set in the most recent version of the Food and Drug Administration Code. Establishments can be cited for violations of "core" items, "priority" items and "priority foundation" items. Since our last round-up of reports, the following restaurants have been inspected in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. The full reports, as well as other restaurant reports around the county, can be accessed on the health department's website. …
