Chef-philanthropist Paola Velez knows where to find the best food in DC.

Follow the award-winning pastry chef as she visits her favorite spots in DC: Ben’s Chili Bowl, La Cosecha, Seylou Bakery, Albi, and Little Pearl. #PaolaVelez #Chef #WashingtonDC #FoodGuide #BestNewChefs #FoodandWine 00:00 Introduction 00:13 La Cosecha 01:06 Seylou Bakery 02:05 Ben's Chili Bowl 03:14 Little Pearl 04:58 Albi Read the article: https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/paola-velez-washington-dc-city-guide Thanks for watching!
