MARCUS DC

222 M Street NE 

Celebrated chef, restaurateur, and author Marcus Samuelsson has officially opened his new concept, Marcus DC, a lively new dining destination in The Morrow Hotel dedicated to showcasing the richness and diversity of the Black culinary experience. Together with Executive Chef Anthony Jones, Samuelsson builds a patchwork of flavors, expert technique, and family memories into a modern American menu. Signature dishes at Marcus DC reflect Samuelsson’s cross-cultural culinary lens, and extensive travels around the globe. Highlights include Blue Cornbread, Swediopian, Mel’s Crab Rice, and much more. Desserts are crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Rachel Sherriffe, who draws inspiration from her Jamaican heritage. The bar program, developed by consulting mixologist Glendon Hartley, is an extension of the kitchen’s spirit. For more information, click here.
