There is something terribly thrilling about starting a restaurant from scratch. With absolutely nothing there, but four walls, an empty shell, you, and a vision. And in this case it is with Chef Mike Isabella’s new venture Graffiato which literally means scratch.

If you know Mike, you can’t help but be affected by his genuine enthusiasm and passion. So how could we not jump on board and support Mike in his new venture. We’re looking at Spring 2011 for the grand opening and we hope that you will be as big a fans as we are of Mike and the Graffiato Team.

To follow our progress and to keep up with the latest please visit the Graffiato page and follow the team on all of the social networking sites.

And don’t forget to root for Mike on Season 8 of Top Chef All Stars every Wednesday on Bravo at 10:00 p.m.

Love to the Graffiato team and lets hurry up and open - Hilda.
P.S. Anyone in DC Permits reading this - come on! Give us a break. Lets go with those construction permits already.
