Open Crumb

"Black owned scratch kitchen located in the heart of Anacostia. Our food is prepared from raw ingredients, and our bread and desserts are all made in house. We believe that food should be honest, so we take the extra step to make it honestly. "Dana Jacobson visits a restaurant that hit its stride by bringing a taste of West Africa to the U.S. capital. Open Crumb is an unassuming, takeout-focused storefront where co-owner and head chef Peter Opare is preserving his family's legacy and culinary business. He talks about how he got his start and "grew up in culinary school" thanks to his parents.
