Not everyone can be a celebrity chef, restaurateur, author, entrepreneur and television personality – Todd English may be the exception.
Todd English
The Texas born chef is claiming his second round on the Washington culinary scene since the closing of Olives on K Street – this time returning with a modern take on traditional Mexican cuisine via MXDC. We’re not sure what that means, but we’re in!
Small plates, family-style dishes, fresh perspective on traditional Mexican cuisine elevated by high-end ingredients – that’s the deal.
“MXDC will feature a strong tequila program featuring approximately 100 of Todd English’s favorite tequila’s from around the world, served in imported Mexican glass quartinos and half-liter carafes. The bar will offer tequila tastings, created by Todd English, and accompanied by various condiments, salts and other essences to augment the senses. The two level open interior is a balance between modern and rustic architecture lit by copper chandeliers and brimming with lush accents,” according to publicist Erika Gutierrez of eggPR.
His award winning television show Food Trip with Todd English on PBS allows viewers to follow his adventures around the world as he looks for inspiration for new dishes, menus and restaurants.
For MXDC, English was inspired by his love of Mexico, its culture and cuisine. … telling you, we’re in!
And so is Lynda Erkiletian of Real Housewives of DC. shown below with English.
As is Victoria Michael and Kelly Collis.
MXDC is now open for business at 600 14th Street NW
