In celebration of the 2021 RAMMY Awards, recognizing the hard-working and innovative figures in our restaurant community, Back at the Table invites you to meet restauranteurs that have defied the odds by strengthening their community amidst the pandemic.

Former Marine turned restaurateur Patrice Cleary of Purple Patch Restaurant knew she had to find a way to re-imagine her restaurant when the pandemic shut her doors. Today, her restaurant has transformed into a marketplace, butcher, outdoor space, and takeout counter. Cleary’s metamorphosis offers inspiration and positivity to the DC dining scene.
