How Live Fire Fuels D.C.'s Hottest Tasting Menu — Mise En Place

Description

The Dabney is one of Washington, D.C.'s most celebrated restaurants, where chef Jeremiah Langhorne and his team shine a spotlight on the bounty of the mid-Atlantic region by producing impressive dishes over a custom-made open-fire hearth. Since opening in 2015, this Michelin-starred spot has specialized in using seasonal ingredients, maintaining close ties with farmers and watermen, and creating a unique blend of regional and Southern influences. Highlights include Chesapeake blue catfish on a house-baked sweet potato roll, the signature hearth-roasted vegetable salad (often 20-50 peak-season veggies with herbs from the rooftop garden), and a whole pig cooked in multiple ways. #restaurant #chef #dc 0:00 Intro: What Is the Dabney? 0:45 From Whole Pig to Final Plate 2:37 Homemade Sweet Potato Rolls and Sourdough Bread 3:54 Dry-Aging the Chesapeake Rockfish 5:26 The Importance of Seasonal Vegetables at the Dabney 6:29 The Invasive Chesapeake Catfish 7:40 Rooftop Garden 8:24 Beef Coulotte Cooked Directly on the Coals 9:24 Firing the Grilled Chesapeake Rockfish 10:13 Start of Service 10:44 Making Yellow Cornbread in Cast Iron 11:25 Fried Sugar Toads (Non-Poisonous Pufferfish) 12:09 Hearth-Roasted Vegetables Credits: Senior Producer/Director: Tom Daly Camera: Murilo Ferreira, Anna Sutterer Production Sound Mixer: Ben Sands Editor: Lucy Morales Carlisle Executive Producer: Stephen Pelletteri Head of Production: Stefania Orrù Supervising Producer: Connor Reid Post-Production Supervisor: Lucy Morales Carlisle Director of Production: Michelle Fox Senior Director of Photography: Murilo Ferreira Supervising Producer, Social Video: Jordan Shalhoub Download the Eater App: https://shorturl.at/Rz1pN — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Eater is the go-to resource for food and restaurant obsessives with hundreds of episodes and new series, featuring exclusive access to dining around the world, rich culture, immersive experiences, and authoritative experts.
