Chefs Judge DC Judges' Cooking Skills

The tables were turned on about two dozen D.C. Superior Court judges Thursday night as they were judged on their cooking skills.

Chefs from 701, nopa and Rasika judged the event, which benefited two local charities with a clothing drive, so others might eat and dress for success.

Chief Judge Lee F. Satterfield said it’s important for judges to take their robes off and connect with the community.

“We see people in and out of court, we know people returning from prison need clothing to go out and get jobs, so a couple of judges came up with this idea,” Satterfield said.
