The Dabney

Jeremiah Langhorne honed his craft working for Sean Brock at his paradigm-redefining Southern restaurant McCrady’s in Charleston, South Carolina, before undertaking a philosophy-shifting stage at Noma in Copenhagen. In 2013, he returned home to Washington, D.C., with one goal: to open a groundbreaking restaurant that would pay homage to the cuisine and foodways of the Mid-Atlantic. Achieving this required extensive research and development. “I wanted to dig in,” he says. “The best way to dig in is to get to know the people who are actually catching, growing, finding, and doing things.”
