“An ever-changing menu of seasonally-inspired and locally-sourced ingredients is part of what has guests dining with us again and again,” said owner, Roger Marmet. “Chef Meek-Bradley’s cooking reflects her stunning creativity, technical excellence, and bright personality – and will serve us well.”
After reviewing qualifications from over 75 applicants, the field was narrowed down to some incredibly talented chefs who hailed from some of the finest restaurants in the United States. Chef Meek-Bradley’s personality and palate match Ripple’s vision perfectly, and after of dozens of interviews, she stood out as uniquely qualified to take the restaurant into the future. She will expand upon Ripple’s strengths and continue to pursue the vision by crafting thoughtfully-sourced ingredients in an intimate and comfortable atmosphere.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
