Chef Kwame Onwuachi is flying the African flag high in the USA and has been acknowledged as one of Food & Wine Magazine's Best New Chef's for 2019.
He is plating masterpieces and doing it in gastronomical style at Kith/Kin which is at the InterContinental DC Wharf .
Although he's from the Bronx, Onwuachi's roots are firmly in Nigeria and actually West Africa because he creates Afro-Caribbean dishes and it's this that caught the attention of the team at Food & Wine.

In the magazine they write that "at Kith/Kin, Onwuachi emerges as a chef
settling into himself, tugging at each intimate thread, braiding them
into a modern celebration of the flavors of the African diaspora."
Kith/Kin has been a winning restaurant for Onwuachi, last month he was nominated for a Rammy Award in the category of rising culinary star and also named as a finalist
for a James Beard Award.
