THE NATION'S TOP CHEFS
AT THE DISTRICT'S
MOST BEAUTIFUL HOMES
Our Founder and Our Mission
Although he spent the last two decades at some of the top companies in Silicon Valley, Anthony Stewart always knew he would return to the DMV. An architecture major in college and an avid historian, Anthony became interested in helping people old and new to the area discover the beautiful properties maintained in Northern Virginia.
Secret Saturdays is an experimental dinner series based in Arlington, VA. Our concept is simple: make the location as interesting as the meal itself. Secret Saturdays takes diners to beautiful and historic venues around Virginia to eat meals prepared by some of the best chefs the country has to offer. We're interested in the way food and place can come together to generate a unique and unforgettable experience.
Secret Saturdays ensures that its experiences are accessible to as many people as possible. Menus note which dishes are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Many of our properties our historic, but a number have ramp accessibility for patrons. Accessibility is noted in the event description.
