Fine Food, Fine Pastries, Open 6 to 9 is a 1989 American short documentary film produced and directed by David Petersen. [2]
Owners and waitresses of Sherrill's Restaurant and Bakery, a down-home gathering place behind the Capitol, observed Washington and its denizens since the Depression as the film captures moments during a typical day in the very un-Washington Capitol Hill hang out, conveying the role of the eatery in the neighborhood as patrons discuss local history and politics.

It was nominated in 1989 for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short. [4] It also was a first place winner in the American, National Educational, and Houston Film Festivals; and won a CINE Golden Eagle and Emmy Award. [5]
