Courses from the “Solstice” tasting menu as summer comes to a close ☀️
4) Melon – peanut, chili, kohlrabi, shiso 🍈🥜🍉
A salad of delicious sweet fruits with a bit of spice. Yummy broth to drink straight from the bowl afterwards. Don’t waste that precious liquid, please 😃

BEEF RIB – lardo & burnt onion au poivre sauce 🍖
Judging from the size, it could have been the thigh of a Brontosaurus 🦕

1) Bánh Mì Catfish Po-Boy – salt & pepper Maryland blue catfish, mayo, pickles, jalapeño 🤤
2) Peanut Noodle Bowl – peanut hoisin sauce, Temomi noodles, pea tendrils, chili garlic crunch, tofu 😋
The current Bánh Mì @moonrabbitdc is layered with much history and heritage: baguette by way of French colonialism, fish local to the DMV, and regional inspiration that pulls from @chefkevintien’s prior experience living and working in Louisiana. You won’t find any of that information on the menu nor is it necessary to enjoy this delicious sandwich. But knowing the motivations behind a dish may increase empathy, so we might understand why a chef may purposely present a food that looks and tastes different from our dining memories of another time and place. Food doesn’t always have to be precious or so serious or even exact to be good. As long as it pleases your palate, it’s fine. This Bánh Mì does that 🙏

Sometimes Washington, DC can make you forget that the district is actually part of the South.

Sometimes Washington, DC can make you forget that the district is actually part of the South. In the national capital region, the general rule is to drive fast and honk even faster lest the vehicle in front fails to notice the green light as quickly as you did. Coffee is less a pleasure to savor and more of a morning pick-me-up, mostly transported in a paper cup, both for portability and sipping while your attention is directed elsewhere. (Recently, my friend Anna from Berlin was relieved to find an eatery serving coffee in a ceramic cup!) The tendency is to hurry up, always, and move on to the next pressing task. So what a joy to come to a place like the Dabney and have time slow down, like a satisfying Southern drawl you haven’t heard in a while. Eating here is a gastronomic pleasure with no rush 🙏
Inside, the rugged brick walls and wooden tables carry echoes of a country residence, now repurposed as restaurant space. A study of the prix-fixe menu reveals the best and freshest of local sourcing—born and bred, planted and harvested—from all corners of the mid-Atlantic. The application of classic, time-honored techniques draws out their deep-rooted flavors. Transforming terrific products into tantalizing courses is made possible by the wood-burning hearth, the pièce de résistance of the kitchen. This centerpiece houses an illuminating fire that is primal, elemental, alive even. The glowing embers impart a characteristic signature on every meat and vegetable they touch. If you need proof, just order the plate of roasted vegetables with skins blistered and charred from the heat. You will find them smoky, succulent, and mouth-wateringly delicious. In many ways, the cooking reminds me of rustic simplicity from long ago. In escaping the hustle of DC, dining at the Dabney is a historical excursion that somehow feels like you have come home 🏠
OPENING SNACKS 😋
1a) Metompkin Bay Oyster, Keepwell Aronia Berry Vinegar Mignonette
1b) Charred Eggplant, Cornmeal Cracker
1c) Zucchini Fritter, Smoked Crème Fraîche, Roselle
2) Melon juice with lemon verbena and cucamelon
3) Fried catfish & sweet potato roll sandwich

BAR SPERO BIKINI – serrano ham, morcilla, idiazabal & manchego 🇪🇸
A type of bikini fit for winter season. It’s delicious, too. This is a Spanish sandwich made with two types of meat and cheese layered under toasted bread and drizzled with honey for added sweetness 🤤😋

These dishes are some foods one might see at a traditional meal served in a Vietnamese home. Known as Cơm Nhà, the courses represent more than physical sustenance. In a typical Vietnamese household, mealtime is a cultural practice and often an important bonding opportunity to reaffirm family values and ties 🪢
This is Chef @nhatduuy’s version of Vietnamese home cooking. It was delicious and heartwarming to say the least and quite reminiscent of Vietnamese cuisine I’ve not eaten in years—far too many in fact. Much better, I got to share the meal with fellow foodie and friend @nowchowing before she departed for Chicago (Miss you already!) 🤗
1) Kho Quẹt Với Rau Củ Hấp – pork stewed in sticky fish sauce, served with steamed vegetables to dip
2a) Gỏi Rau Má Tôm Thịt – pennywort herb salad with shrimp and pork belly
2b) Mắm Chưng – steamed egg meat loaf with fermented fish sauce
2c) Side of pickled julienne carrots and daikon
3) Tôm Rang Ba Chỉ – caramelized shrimp and fatty pork with a shrimp-lemongrass chile oil dressing
4) Canh Dưa Leo Dồn Thịt – cucumber stuffed pork soup and fish sauce dip

The @mammam.dc pop-up is currently on an extended break but will likely return late summer or early fall. Follow them on IG for updates 😃
