2010 Rising Star Community Chef Matt Hill has spent the majority of his career with legendary American chef Charlie Palmer. He was on the opening team at this Washington, DC steakhouse, and Palmer’s modern American signature is evident here now that Hill heads the kitchen, but Hill playfully inflects it with fun. Dishes like Prosciutto-Wrapped Canada Pork Tenderloin, Cauliflower, and Preserved Cherries (originally conceived for DC’s cherry blossom festival) show a playfulness, but are ultimately grounded in an appreciation for classic technique and a clean, restrained approach.
