An elite group of high-end D.C. restaurants that limped through all the stops and starts, public health protocols, sanitation theater, staffing challenges, and shifting needs of their customers in 2020 get a big reward today as the Michelin Guide dispenses sought-after stars.
Five restaurants claimed their first stars in the all-digital 2021 guide, including a two-star evaluation for Jônt, where customers can sample chef Ryan Ratino’s blend of Continental luxury and Japanese fermentation techniques in dishes like Dungeness crab with donabe rice, truffle, and maitake mushroom. A news release from the restaurant says Ratino, 30, is the youngest chef in the U.S. to oversee a two-starred restaurant, and the youngest chef ever to boast two different starred businesses.
