"The new year brings new creations from some of the most celebrated chefs and restaurateurs in the D.C. region, including David Guas of Bayou Bakery and Kevin Tien of Moon Rabbit. Some, like a well-regarded barbecue team, are expanding to new parts of the region, while others, like the chefs of a Michelin-starred French bistro, are cooking up something entirely new. With the opening of two more restaurants just a block apart, one D.C. neighborhood is reinforcing its reputation as a hot spot for food. Check out the familiar names — and some buzzy new ones — on DCist/WAMU’s list of highly anticipated restaurant openings next year."
