About Guest List

Guest List is Washingtonian’s fantasy cast of who we’d like to invite over for dinner each month.

A monthly roundup of people we’d like to have over for drinks, food, and conversation—plus one person we definitely would not.

Doug Poretz

The PR firm Qorvis’s cofounder just started a local communications outfit to aid marijuana businesses.

Katherine Ashworth Brandt

Her Dine After Dark helps dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fasters find better food options.

Dwayne Haskins

This new Redskins QB is likely to stick around town: He’s a Gaithersburg native who went to Bullis.

Peter van der Waart

The Purple Line’s new CEO is in charge of getting the delayed rail project on track.

Disinvited!

Patrick Casey

The cofounder of a white-nationalist group was involved in the frightening far-right disruption of a DC book reading.
