Gourmet Girl Magazine at Cru Restaurant

Elaine and Lou of GourmetGirlMagazine.com had an incredible Launch Party June 29, at Fort Myer's Cru Restaurant.

Over 250 special guests tasted first-hand the “Gourmet” chef for Gourmet girl Magazine, and got to meet Elaine and Lou, this dynamic couple from New Jersey. Cru's Executive Chef Brian Roland's creations for the Magazine Launch wowed all, with the freshness and beauty of his culinary delights, with a seven course tasting, in appetizer sizes.
