Then, we sit down with culinary dream team Matt Conroy & Isabel Coss, the husband-and-wife chefs behind Lutèceand Pascual (hello, Washington Post’s #1 Best New Restaurant ), and soon-to-open Maison Bar à Vins with restaurateur extraordinaire Omar Popal. Beard noms, RAMMYs, innovation, and staying in love while running a kitchen? They spill.
