If you can get in, this place is worth any wait. They don’t take reservations but make it a goal to go get in the wait list. Southern cooking influences by a fantastic local, African American chef/owner.

Hop a short ride on the metro to go to one of Michelin rated Chef, Jose Andres, restaurants. Delicious food and Chef Andres is the founder of the Community Kitchens and spends the majority of his time feeding people around the world during times of crisis. During the COVID-19 shutdown he kept all his staff on payroll and converted his restaurants to community kitchens to serve the community. Can’t say enough good things about the food and the chef/owner behind it.
