IT’S ONLY BEEN A FEW MONTHS SINCE BARREL & BUSHEL OPENED ITS DOORS, BUT THE RESTAURANT HAS TAKEN TYSONS CORNER CENTER BY STORM, THANKS TO CHEF DAN DIENEMANN’S COMMITMENT TO SERVING INNOVATIVE, FUN AND DOWNRIGHT DELICIOUS FOOD.

HERE, THE DMV-NATIVE SITS DOWN WITH US TO TALK ABOUT HIS NEWEST HOTSPOT:

Q How’d you get your start in cooking, chef? A: Well, I started cooking at 16 at Hamburger Hamlet in Old Georgetown

Square and have been moving around the country, from Philly to Vegas and San

Francisco, working in kitchens for over 25 years now.

Q Anywhere we might recognize you from? A: I’ve gotten to work with a lot of really cool chefs, like Roy Yamaguchi,

Todd English, Wolfgang Puck and, mostly, Michael Mina. I owned my own restaurant

in Salt Lake City, and cooked at the Ritz-Carlton and Founding Farmers before

coming here.

Q What led you to Barrel & Bushel?

A: Getting full control of the menu is difficult to do these days, so that drew

me here. Now I can really cook what I like to cook.

SIGNATURE DISHES AT TYSONS CORNER CENTER RESTAURANTS

Q And what do you like to cook? A: I’m all about interpreting American food. I love looking at what’s going on

and what’s popular in the country, and then bringing those flavors together and just

making it really fun.

Q Do you have any cooking principles you try to stick to?

A: I’m just trying to use everything and use it right. Take our salmon. We

use Kuterra [Atlantic salmon from Northern Vancouver Island], which is rated Green

(Best Choice) by Monterey Bay. The only seafood I’ll bring in is under that standard,

and since I don’t want any to go to waste, after we trim all the salmon down for our

maple salmon entrée, we take the bellies and smoke them to make our version of

Baltimore crab cakes. But we make a slider out of them.

Q How about local sourcing?

A: I don’t try to claim farm-to-table, but we buy local as it makes sense.

In the end, we’re just buying good food, though all of our chicken is local (Bell &

Evans), all our crab is from Maryland, our beef supplier (Halpern’s) often brings in

beef from Maryland, we use Virginia Edwards ham, dairy from Trickling Springs in

Pennsylvania and even local peaches.

Q What’s it like to be not only a hotel restaurant,

but also a mall restaurant?

A: We look at ourselves as a stand-alone restaurant, and just try to be a great

restaurant, period. My joke is B&B stands for better and better. We work every day to

challenge ourselves to make this place better. We don’t want to do just a Caesar salad,

we want to do a salad you can only get here, like our B&B salad. We don’t use salad

mixes, we hand-tear gem lettuce, add sunflower sprouts and seeds, figs, housemade

farmer’s cheese, heirloom tomatoes and simply dress it with lemon and olive oil.

Q Is that your signature dish? A: It’s one of them. And components of that salad make it into other dishes.

Like our farmer’s cheese. We make it out of local milk every day, so we get the curds

and whey, which we use for the hot fried chicken brine, and then use leftover chicken

bones for our stock.

Q Did you say hot fried chicken? Tell me more! A: So it’s a Nashville staple, and chicken and waffles is a Southern staple,

but we do ours with bourbon-battered French toast. We’re always doing fun riffs like

that. We shave our local ham and crisp it up for our grilled cheese eggs Benedict,

which combines two of my favorite dishes. We also do a version of a lobster roll, but

ours uses local crab that’s poached in butter and then made into a crab salad.

Q So you like playing with your food? A: Oh yeah. We make a fresh to order mac and cheese that’s topped with

crispy spam. We use mayo on our grilled cheese instead of butter, which pools and

makes hot spots. Ours comes out crispy end to end, plus it’s made with super flavorful

aged American cheese with a surprise scoop of pimento cheese for a pocket of fun.

Q And what about the beer and bourbon? How do they fit in? A: We have almost 30 bourbons and 22 beer taps. We cook with it, too—our

steak is marinated in a spicy bourbon and brown sugar sauce before it’s caramelized

on the grill, and I use one of our milk stouts to make a marmalade for our pub

burger. And we do bourbon flights, perfect with our super creamy housemade fudge,

which we make in chocolate almond, salted caramel peanut butter and strawberries

and cream cheese.

REGENCY

TRAVELERS REJOICE! THE HYATT REGENCY TYSONS CORNER CENTER HAS OPENED ITS DOORS...

and what you’ll find inside is simply stunning (think the

largest standard rooms in town, feature-rich amenities

like floor-to-ceiling windows and 48” flat screen TVs,

and ultra high-end finishes, like marble countertops and

luxe linens). This fashion-forward, state-of-the-art hotel

is the first new full-service hotel to open in the area in

more than 20 years.

Looking for a relaxing escape? The Hyatt offers direct

access to the Tysons Corner Center shopping mall, home

to more than 300 stores and restaurants, including the

hotel’s own full-service restaurant Barrel & Bushel. Or

are you here on business? The award-winning Tysons

Tower is just next door, not to mention the hotel is within

walking distance to the Silver Line Metrorail Station (just

a 30-minute ride to downtown Washington D.C.), and

just 15 miles from both Washington Dulles International

Airport and Ronald Reagan National Airport.

BUSINESS MEETING Tysons is the central

business hub for Northern Virginia, so when you need

to impress clients, book the Presidential Suite (the

paramount penthouse) at the Hyatt. You’ll find five-star

work and common areas complete with ample seating,

an oversized desk and enhanced lighting, alongside

panoramic views from the floor-to-ceiling windows and

tech-savvy amenities (did someone say multiple flat

screen TVs?). Added bonus: the sprawling suite (it’s

over 1,600 square feet!) can connect to two separate

guestrooms if you need the extra space. You’ll never

have to leave the hotel—breakfast meetings are best

had in the Regency Club lounge (expect continental

breakfasts plus upgraded appetizers and a cash bar),

while dinner meetings always end well at Barrel & Bushel

or Eddie V’s Prime Seafood just steps away. Plus there’s

15,500 square feet of prime function space, including a

majestic ballroom with 22-foot ceilings, and 14 breakout

rooms, most of which have access to private terraces, a

feature you won’t find anywhere else in town.

FAMILY VACATION Though the Hyatt is all

business during the week, the weekends are prime time

for family fun. The hotel is the only property in town

with double queen beds in the guest rooms, plus there’s

thousands of parking spots, so you can bring the whole

gang. Take the kids to the adjoining AMC movie theatre

for an IMAX or RealD 3D show, or to see Peter Pan

Three Sixty, a live theatrical experience on the Tysons

Corner Center campus. Next head to the one-and-a-half

acre outdoor Plaza where tons of kid-approved activities

occur—whether you prefer some friendly competition at

the ping pong tables, life-sized board games, or would

rather catch a fun festival. Parents can enjoy a cold

beverage at Shake Shack as they watch their children

play on the gigantic pirate ship playground, there’s

something for everyone. Did we mention the hotel is also

just a short drive to the area’s best attractions and D.C.’s

famed monuments and museums?

ROMANTIC WEEKEND Are you and your

sweetheart in need of a weekend away? Check into one

of the hotel’s 18 suites for the ultimate, intimate escape.

Start the evening off right with a cocktail on the gorgeous

patio at Barrel & Bushel—a romantic dinner awaits, or

you can take advantage of the restaurant’s room service

feature and order from bed. Same high-quality food,

only here you get to enjoy it from the signature, posh

Hyatt Grand King bed. The perfect precursor to a soak

in the massive spa tub in the master bathroom. Spend

the next day lounging at the indoor pool or relaxing at a

nearby spa before heading out to a show. Prefer to spend

the evening at the hotel? Just walk out to the Plaza for

an amazing concert—you may even be able to listen in

from that bed!

THE HYATT OFFERS DIRECT ACCESS TO TYSONS CORNER CENTER, HOME TO MORE THAN 300 STORES AND RESTAURANTS.

GIRLS GETAWAY There’s perhaps no better

spot to escape with the girls than the new Hyatt, which

boasts a winning formula for the quintessential chick-

approved weekend. Direct access to hundreds of stores?

Check—the Tysons Corner Center mall, home to one of

the country’s largest Nordstrom, is just steps away. Great

spa for mani-pedis and massages? Check—Suissa Spa,

ready and waiting at the mall. Complimentary fitness to

maintain that beach body? Check—the hotel boasts a

24-hour gym, and there’s even free classes in the Plaza

courtesy of Crunch Fitness. And, of course, lots of wine

to drink while you gab? Check—the hotel is near several

award-winning wineries offering tours and tastings to

complete your getaway.

THE NEW 30-STORY, 429-UNIT LUXURY APARTMENT COMMUNITY, VITA, HAS OFFICIALLY OPENED IN THE HEART OF TYSONS CORNER, AND LIFE IS PRETTY GRAND FOR THE NEW RESIDENTS. TAKE A LOOK AT HOW FANTASTIC A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VITA RESIDENT COULD BE:

8:00 a.m. Sunshine begins to glimmer in through

the expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding you

in your penthouse apartment. As you slowly make your

way out of bed, you take in the stunning views of the sun

rising over the nearby D.C. skyline. You glance down to

the Plaza, already abuzz with life.

8:30 a.m. The concierge calls to let you know

your dry cleaning has been delivered to the front desk.

While you pick up your freshly pressed blouses, you grab

a latte from the Nespresso machine in the lobby.

9:00 a.m. Yoga mat in tow, you walk down to

the Plaza for a complimentary morning Pilates class

with Crunch Fitness, mentally adding up how much you

saved by skipping the pricy gym membership.

10:15 a.m. Back in your penthouse, you

scramble some eggs on the new KitchenAid range.

As you clean up, wiping down the glass tile backsplash

and quartz countertops, you wonder whether you’ll get

pancakes or French toast when you get to brunch in

the city.

11 a.m. A quick shower and it’s back out the

door. This time, you walk across the bridge to the Tysons

Corner metro stop—in less than half an hour, you’ll be

catching up with your friends, mimosa in hand.

1 p.m. Your friends want to keep the party going,

so you invite them back to your place. The rooftop pool

will be the perfect place to spend the afternoon. While

you lounge, you make a mental note to reserve the Sky

Lounge for your next dinner party—you could throw a few

steaks on the grill and stock the fridge with Chardonnay,

or even hire a private chef and rent out the caterer’s

kitchen. The Billiards room downstairs will be the

perfect spot for a nightcap.

4 p.m. You remember Bloomingdale’s is having

a sale and dart over to the mall to snag a new designer

bag. So nice to have a direct entrance and not have to

hassle with parking.

7 p.m. It’s time for dinner. After debating with

your boyfriend whether it’s your turn for sushi or his

for burgers, you decide to compromise and check out

Coastal Flats. A buttery Maryland crab roll is sure to

please both palates, after all.

9 p.m. As you’re walking home from dinner, you

hear a concert coming from the Plaza. Naturally, you

head to the terrace level with a bottle of Pinot—a cozy

seat around the fire pit is the perfect way to take in

the tunes.
