Back of House
The Back of House is a photo blog that showcases the underexposed (no pun intended) work of a kitchen's staff. Inspired by Ben Joel's experience as a line cook, the Back of House displays a collection of candid photographs from restaurant kitchens around the DC area. These photos highlight a range of perspectives, environments, and tasks of those who prepare your order.
