"Top Chef star Kwame Onwuachi makes a hotly anticipated return to D.C.’s dining scene this spring with an Afro-Caribbean restaurant situated at the foot of the 373-room Salamander Washington DC. Building upon the recent success of his critically acclaimed NYC newcomer Tatiana, Dōgon (pronounced “Doh-gon”) pays homage to D.C.’s late-1700s land surveyor Benjamin Banneker and his ties to the West African Dōgon tribe. Onwuachi’s menu plans to explore his own Nigerian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Creole heritage. Chain curtains framing lobby-level Dōgon reference the mathematical device Banneker used to map out city lines, revealing a 200-seat dining room with a bar and patio. The James Beard Award-winning chef is best known locally for his time at the Wharf InterContinental’s long-closed Kith/Kin, and Dōgon marks the culinary icon and author’s second act inside a posh hotel along the scenic Potomac River." - Tierney Plumb
