A Luxe New Mediterranean Restaurant Hopes to Get Maryland Its First Michelin Star - Eater DC
"Nestled in the Cabin John Village shopping center, the Grove’s Mediterranean-hopping menu will showcase flavors and techniques synonymous with regions of coastal Spain, Italy, and Greece. Newly named executive chef Jose Lopez-Picazo is a huge fine-dining hire for Common Plate. The Spanish-born graduate of the Madrid Cooking Institute worked under renowned chefs Maestro Manuel Tabares and Maestro Javier Otaaduy, mastering the art of seafood preparation, paellas, and sous-vide. More recently, he helped spearhead the opening of Fabio Trabocchi’s Spanish stunner Del Mar on the Southwest Waterfront." - Tierney Plumb
