2022 D.C.-Chesapeake Rising Stars

Rising Stars Restaurant Week

Tuesday, March 15 — Tuesday, March 29

We're finally back in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to celebrate the most talented up-and-coming food and beverage professionals across the Chesapeake Bay. After meeting with more than 100 emerging chefs, pastry chefs, bartenders, sommeliers, and artisans in the DMV area, we are excited to announce our newest class of D.C.-Chesapeake Rising Stars. The 2022 class includes 19 Rising Stars, recognized by StarChefs for their culinary strengths, charitable contributions to the DMV, and their ability to navigate, lead, and inspire.

The Rising Stars Restaurant Week is a two-week promotion showcasing the 2022 D.C.-Chesapeake restaurants, dishes, pastries, wine pairings, and cocktails that best represent the future of American dining.
