David Costabile Instagram – One of my first jobs was as a bartender at @anniesparamountdc at the age of 18 (that was the legal drinking age). My brother-in-law’s family started it and still runs it. I am so proud to have worked there and for the gracious acknowledgment the @beardfoundation has given them for the enduring gift of good food and respect the restaurant has always provided everyone. I feel lucky to have worked there and learned at an early age that we all share a seat at the table and good service should and will be provided for all. As they posted: “‘The story is that [Annie] saw two guys holding hands under the table, you can do that on top of the table.’ 2019 America’s Classics Award winner Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse endures as a nexus for Washington DC’s #LGBTQ community. At Annie’s, the steaks are hefty, the burgers juicy and the cocktails strong, but what really keeps people coming back is the restaurant’s legacy of inclusiveness and respect. “ If you are ever in DC you HAVE to go there! It’s fantastic!! Congratulations!!! #inclusionmatters #gayrights🌈 #greatsteak | Posted on 07/Jun/2019 22:40:14
