"In the four months or so since he opened a companion cafe to his Michelin-starred, tasting menu-focused restaurant in Ivy City, Matt Baker thinks he’s developed one of the top breakfast sandwiches in D.C. The chef and restaurateur behind high-end, Chesapeake-sourcing Gravitas will bring that creation — with slices of homemade sourdough packing in a fried egg, Virginia ham, applewood-smoked bacon, gruyere cheese, arugula, and espelette pepper aioli — to Chinatown this spring when he opens a second location of Baker’s Daughter. Compared to the first Baker’s Daughter, which opened in September near Gravitas in Ivy City, Baker says a Chinatown offshoot won’t have as much of a market component. The new location will be “more coffee oriented” with grab-and-go pastries, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Pastry chef Aisha Momaney will expand the new brand’s lineup of baked goods, adding prepackaged single-serving custards and cakes." - Gabe Hiatt
