From Rose's Luxury chef, burnt romaine becomes a party on a plate

At Rose's Luxury on Capitol Hill, you might wait hours for a table, but once you sit, chef Aaron Silverman appeases with playful food such as this Mexican twist on a Caesar salad. We streamlined it for the home cook, but you could embellish by topping it with roasted poblano strips the way Silverman does, or with black beans, even tortilla chips. This makes twice the dressing you need, but you'll devour it as a dip.
