Join PathNorth alongside EDENS CEO Jodie McLean for an immersive evening at elcielo Washington, the acclaimed Michelin‑starred Colombian restaurant by chef‑owner Juan Manuel “Juanma” Barrientos Valencia. Set in the vibrant Union Market district, the space combines minimalist, contemporary aesthetics with warm Colombian touches—wood accents, soft lighting, and an open kitchen that brings the theater of the culinary craft to your table.

The evening features an engaging conversation with Juanma himself, exploring his culinary philosophy—melding tradition, innovation, and cultural storytelling—and his journey from Medellín to earning a Michelin star in Washington in April 2021. Attendees will hear firsthand how he anchors Colombian identity in every dish and how his creative vision has shaped elcielo’s immersive experience.

In the spirit of PathNorth’s ethos—bringing together leaders to learn and reflect—this dinner promises dynamic dialogue about innovation in food, community building, and design as relational art. It’s more than a meal; it’s a thoughtfully curated gathering at the intersection of hospitality, culture, and culinary excellence.
