Patrick Robinson OUT, Akhtar Nawab IN at Table

Table has a new chef at the helm: Akhtar Nawab.

Nawab was recently hired as Executive Chef. Chef de Cuisine Patrick Robinson's departed to spend more time with family. Robinson was promoted to the position at Table last December.

Nawab comes to D.C. from New York City where he has worked at Gramercy Tavern, Craftbar, Elettaria and La Esquina.

Table will still highlight ingredients from local farms and purveyors. They're launching a new summer menu on June 21.

Editor's Note: Robinson already worked at Table when promoted to chef de cuisine.
