Tomorrow, I will take a field trip downtown for the ServSafe food safety exam. This exam is a prerequisite for receiving my license to be alone with food in the District of Columbia (I like to think of it as being…licensed to cook).

As a former policy wonk for food safety, I’m actually pretty excited about the certification, although I have a feeling we will be discussing elements of food prep that are a bit more technical than the broader sweeping reforms I researched on the Hill.

I’ll be sure to share any surprising insights from the experience and look forward to taking the important information to heart. The license takes me one step closer to bringing WHOOPS! to D.C.

In the meantime, be Food Safe.
