Washington, D.C
We spent $240 on dinner at Dōgon, one of the buzziest restaurants in DC. The best part was the $63 chicken and rice.
- I ate at Kwame Onwuachi’s new restaurant, Dōgon, in Washington, DC.
- We ordered coco bread, piri piri salad, chicken and rice, oxtails, and rum cake.
- Our tasty dinner was $244, and I’m already looking forward to my next meal there.
Kwame Onwuachi was only 25 when he appeared on “Top Chef: California” in 2015.
Just four years later, he was named Rising Star Chef of the Year by the James Beard Foundation, Chef of the Year by Esquire, and one of the best new chefs by Food and Wine — all thanks to his restaurant, Kith/Kin, in Washington, DC.
Although I didn’t get to visit Kith/Kin before it closed in 2020, I was excited to be able to dine at the chef’s latest DC venture: Dōgon.
The Afro-Caribbean restaurant’s buzzy opening has been covered by the likes of Vogue, Forbes, and Eater — but, as a restaurant critic, I was curious to check it out myself.
Here’s what it’s like to dine at Dōgon.

With summer officially underway and festival season kicking into high gear, one of the most iconic names in alternative music is preparing to make its highly anticipated return. Vans Warped Tour heads to Washington, D.C. on June 13 and 14, bringing together generations of fans for a weekend celebrating punk rock, metalcore, pop-punk, hardcore, and everything in between.
Last year marked the 30th anniversary of Vans Warped Tour, a milestone that reignited excitement for the legendary traveling festival. What began in 1995 as a summer tour showcasing underground punk and alternative bands has evolved into one of the most influential music festivals in North America. For many fans, Warped Tour was more than just a concert—it was a rite of passage that introduced countless music lovers to their favorite bands.
Following the overwhelming response to last year’s anniversary celebration, organizers have expanded the festival footprint by adding two additional cities, allowing even more fans to experience the return of a festival that helped shape alternative music culture for decades.
The Washington, D.C. stop promises a packed weekend of live music, community, and nostalgia. Fans can expect everything that made Warped Tour famous: energetic performances, diverse lineups, merch tents, artist meet-and-greets, and the unmistakable sense of camaraderie that has defined the festival since its inception.
Whether you’re a longtime Warped veteran reliving your teenage summers or a newcomer experiencing the festival for the first time, the D.C. event offers a chance to celebrate the spirit of alternative music in a way few festivals can match.
So break out your Converse, stock up on sunscreen, crack open an energy drink, and get ready for two days of unforgettable performances. Vans Warped Tour is back, and Washington, D.C. is ready to welcome one of summer’s most anticipated events.
