"Caribbean cooking from chef Peter Prime in Washington, D.C. Canefrom chef Peter Prime earned the Bib Gourmand designation in the Washington, D.C. 2020 guide. The space became available just when I was hearing that we were probably closing at the end of the year. Chef/co-owner Peter Prime and co-owner Jeanine Prime share ownership. The food that the Primes grew up on hails from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago, and the restaurant's name is a reference to one of the main crops of the region. Prime has lots of experience cooking at various top restaurants, but his food at Cane is yet another phase in his growth as a chef. In dishes like the beef curry, that means sometimes he adds wagyu lifter cuts to the more standard chuck. For his oxtails, he starts by grilling them before they are glazed with a more traditional gravy. Everything prepared by the kitchen is delicious, inspectors state. Think rich stews, perfect doubles and channa, redolent of spices and heat. This is just the beginning for Prime and what seems to be his quest to share more Caribbean flavors with the world." - Aaron Hutcherson
