Chef and restaurateur Jeremiah Langhorne teamed up with restaurant general contractor Hospitality Construction Services and architecture firm Edit Lab at Streetsense to design his debut restaurant, which pays homage to Mid-Atlantic cuisine and reinvents D.C.’s culinary identity.
The Dabney, which is located on the historic 9th Street in Blagden Alley, takes inspiration from Langhorne’s own family lineage, which dates back to over a century in the Shenandoah Valley. The chef envisioned a menu and space that was reminiscent of the 19th century, tying in both the flavor and style of the D.C. area.
