2026 D.C.-MARYLAND-VIRGINIA RISING STARS
Along the Chesapeake Bay, there is a bustling culinary culture meeting the moment and showing the world that there is more to the region than just blue crabs and bureaucracy. At every turn, instability and uncertainty gave way to creativity and innovation as we explored the hospitality communities of Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Richmond.
Humility, combined with an undeniable dedication to taking care of others, has set these communities up for success. Even as political tensions and economic obstacles arise, the region continues to set an example for the rest of the country, demonstrating the high standards and potential of creative, comfortable, and considerate hospitality.
At Tapori, Chef Suresh Sundas reimagines the Tibetan and Nepalese dumpling for the D.C. crowd.
Celebrated D.C. restaurants are upping the ante, investing in their wine programs with the help of some determined sommeliers.
