“Previously Nordic chefs, well at least Swedish chefs, were known only as a puppet character. But our chefs are no longer a laughing matter.”
– Swedish Ambassador to the United States Jonas Hafstrom speaking Monday night at the House of Sweden at an event kicking off Nordic Food Days. The foodie event will feature special menus from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland at the D.C. restaurants Masa 14, Birch & Barley, Marcel’s, DC Coast and Vidalia, respectively. The special Nordic Food Days menus will be available through Sunday.
In April, when Yeas & Nays caught up with Swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson at the House of Sweden, Ambassador Hafstrom showed off his Swedish chef humor then too.
