Winner: Kwame Onwuachi, Rising Star Chef of the Year
"Other high-profile establishments — such as (now-closed) Kith/Kin, Tail Up Goat, and Bad Saint — decided to stay closed because they didn’t feel they could ask workers to risk exposure to the coronavirus." - Gabe Hiatt
"When restaurant critic Bill Addison reviewed Onwuachi’s menu at DC’s Kith and Kin in 2018, the chef’s goat roti was the star of the review, as a dish that highlighted the chef’s Afro-Caribbean background like no other." - Patty Diez
"At Kith/Kin, Onwuachi explored his family’s roots in Nigeria, Jamaica, Trinidad, and New Orleans through cooking that traced the routes of the African diaspora. He made dishes like jerk chicken with tamarind barbecue sauce, egusi stew with monkfish, and whole fried snapper escovitch while giving them a platform to be celebrated in a posh hotel setting." - Gabe Hiatt
"Kith + Kin, James Beard award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi’s Afro-Caribbean restaurant on the Wharf, recently returned for limited weekend service." - Adele Chapin
