Anyone who’s been to a party with Roaming Oyster Shucker Kenon will tell you he has the best energy and the best attitude.

He started as a dishwasher (and hated his first raw oyster), and now he’s Shaw's Crab House’s one-man roaming raw bar.
He deserves all the recognition. ❤️

You might recognize Chef Juan Gutierrez from winning Netflix's School of Chocolate or showing off his skills on Food Network’s Ultimate Baking Championship. But DYK, he’s also behind some of your favorite desserts at Lettuce:

🐅 Crying Tiger Dessert (Available at Crying Tiger)
A chocolate tiger filled with rich Thai banana crémeux and topped with warm foster sauce.
“When they told me the name of this restaurant was going to be Crying Tiger, I knew it needed something really different and bold, something that everybody would remember." — Chef Juan

🍋 Lemon Meringue Pie (Available at RPM Steak)
A bold twist on a steakhouse classic.
"To put a bold RPM twist on a traditional steakhouse dessert... the real showstopper is the towering meringue." — Chef Juan

🍓 Raspberry Almond Tart (Available at Mon Ami Gabi Lincoln Park, Bethesda)
Fresh local raspberries over a silky, custard-like frangipane blend.
"We combine equal parts frangipane and pastry cream... making a nice and light, custard-y filling that pairs really well with the raspberries." — Chef Juan

Ever wonder how Mon Ami Gabi got its name? We actually have legendary French Chef Jean Banchet to thank.

In the late '90s, Chef Gabino Sotelino and Rich Melman were on the patio brainstorming ideas for their new French bistro. They had the concept, but they were missing one crucial piece: the name.

The answer arrived unexpectedly when Jean Banchet pulled up in his brand-new Ferrari, spotted Gabino across the patio, and called out: "Hey Mon Ami Gabi!"

Rich heard it and knew on the spot that was it. Meaning "My friend Gabi," it captured the exact warmth and personal touch they wanted for the entire restaurant.
