sweetgreen at the 2009 presidential inauguration

last tuesday we had the opportunity to be a part of Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration – we had a vendor booth on the parade route, not far from the mall

although it was freezing outside it was amazing to see how many people came out to support our new president

and it made the night we spent making one thousand wraps all worth it!

congratulations President Obama!

“the dynamic duo”

two of sweetgreen’s founders nic & nate were featured on the front page of the entertainment section of the dc examiner! check it out below:

to read the online version of the article go here, it includes the following insights about the dynamic duo:

Q&A with the Chefs

Do you cook at home?
Nicolas: Yes, and it’s classical French or Mediterranean. My mom is Lebanese. I watch the Food Network.
Nathaniel: Our day is long and spontaneous. I try to fix dinner two times a week. My family is Chinese, so dumplings and noodles and wok-cooking are a big thing. 

What is your comfort food?
Nicolas: Foie gras and anything with truffles.
Nathaniel: Food from Chipotle or Chinese or Vietnamese food

Which are your favorite restaurants?
Nicolas: Central, Rays the Steaks, Blue Duck, Nora, Rasika and Oyamel.
Nathaniel: (Undecided)

What’s in your fridge?
Nicolas: A lot of Honest Tea, hummus, baby carrots. Lots of cheese and baguettes. I eat here twice a day.
Nathaniel: Not much. Green onions and a bottle of champagne, but I do have sesame oil in my pantry and rice and vinegar.
