Giada de Laurentiis at 6th and I

A preemptive celebrity sighting: on Saturday at 8pm, Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis will be at Sixth and I Synagogue in conjunction with the release of her new cookbook, Weeknights with Giada: Quick and Simple Recipes to Revamp Dinner.

Giada will be interviewed by Bonnie Benwick, Food Editor of the Washington Post.

Last time Giada was in town, she ate at Mike Isabella's Graffiato, declaring it one of the "best meals in a long time."  No word on where the Italian chef will be eating on Saturday, but keep your eyes peeled (and be sure to tip off your favorite PQ blogsters!).
