BLAGDEN ALLEY -- The ‘Windy City’ temporarily lent the District one of its top culinary talents last week, as Chef David Posey took the helm of Rogue 24’s gleaming kitchen, for the fifth chapter of the restaurant’s exclusive 8-week culinary series dubbed ‘Rogue Sessions’.

The California native made his first foray into the restaurant industry while still in high school before graduating from New York’s legendary Culinary Institute of America. Posey first shot to foodie fame as a protégé of the legendary Chef Grant Achatz (oftentimes quoted as one of the pioneering leaders of molecular gastronomy), with whom he worked while at the then top-rated Trio and the Michelin-rated three star Alinea.

After a stint at organic food retail giant Whole Foods self-designed to teach him more about seasonality and organic ingredients, Posey joined the team of restaurateur Paul Kahan’s upscale Blackbird, where he currently serves as Chef de Cuisine.
