RSS FeedPoste Moderne Brasserie Gets A New Executive Chef
We love the Poste Moderne Brasserie (555 8th St NW) patio, bar, and restaurant in the Hotel Monaco (700 F St NW), and it’s been the location of many a date, lunch, happy hour meetup, or dinner for us. Summer isn’t checked off until we’ve eaten outdoors on the patio. Although we are sad to hear about the departure of Chef Rob Weland, we are interested in seeing how the newly named Executive Chef, Dennis Maron, will make the vaunted venue his own. We are also happy to hear that the Poste garden will continue. According to the press release:
Chef Marron joins the Poste team from sister restaurants, The Grille at Morrison House and Jackson 20, both located in Old Town Alexandria. Marron began leading the Poste kitchen on September 26th and will present new menus in early November.
Marron brings unique culinary skills from his experience overseeing two distinctly different concepts in The Grille, a fine dining French restaurant, and in Jackson 20, a casual, Southern-inspired American tavern. This very combination of fine dining meets tavern, makes him an ideal fit for the popular Penn Quarter brasserie. His breadth of experience and strong personal commitment to local farmers and ingredients will build upon Poste’s excellent reputation of supporting sustainable farming and restaurant operations. A popular fixture at the restaurant, the Poste garden will continue to flourish under Marron’s watch.
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) at Hyde Park, New York, Marron has worked in restaurants from the age of 15, holding a host of back and front of the house restaurant positions including dishwasher, bar back, bartender, restaurant manager and of course, chef. He has worked in kitchens in San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Red Bank, N.J., and before joining Kimpton, worked for Chef Jeff Buben at the highly acclaimed Bistro Bis.
