Chef Eric Ziebold Chef-Owner Kinship | Métier A respected personality of the Washington D.C. and national dining scene, Eric Ziebold opened two critically acclaimed restaurants, Kinship and Métier in January and April 2016 respectively. Located in the District’s Shaw neighborhood and just steps north of Mount Vernon Square and across the street from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the restaurants attract Washingtonians and destination dining travelers alike. Atop the restaurant honors list is Kinship’s recognition by the prestigious Michelin Guide as a Michelin one-star restaurant in 2017 and 2018, and Métier as a Michelin one-star restaurant in 2018. The premier issue of the Washington D.C. guide launched in October 2016, as one of only four United States cities to have the “red book.” Washingtonian magazine named Métier the number one restaurant in their February 2018 list of “100 very best restaurants.” It stated that (Métier) offers “the most beautiful dining experience in Washington right now” and that Ziebold’s cooking “is more quietly daring than showy” these days. In 2017 Washingtonian proclaimed that “Kinship is the most exciting DC restaurant opening of the New Year” (2016), while ranking both Kinship, number four and Meter, number 14 in their annual “top 100” list. The Washington Post awarded Métier four stars (out of four) and proclaimed that “no detail is overlooked at Métier” and this “little jewel box” is an “escape for an evening with Eric Ziebold's seven-course tasting menu, which affirms his role as one of Washington’s premier talents”. As well, Kinship received 3 stars from the paper: “With the debut of Kinship near the convention center, I’m (re)routing food lovers to the superior handiwork of former CityZen chef Eric Ziebold and his wife and partner, the gracious Celia Laurent”, and ranked it at number four for the 2016 ‘Fall Dining Guide’. Chef Eric Ziebold Chef-Owner Kinship | Métier (continued) Chef Ziebold has received an array of accolades for creative interpretations of modern American cuisine. From September 2004 to December 2014, Ziebold was Chef at CityZen in the Mandarin Oriental Washington, DC. During that time, the restaurant was awarded the coveted Washington Post Four-Star rating and was the only AAA Five-Diamond-rated restaurant in the city at the time. In addition to being named one of the “Best New Chefs” in the United States by Food & Wine Magazine in 2005, Ziebold took home the prestigious James Beard Award for “Best Chef Mid-Atlantic” in 2008. Prior to CityZen, Ziebold served as Chef de Cuisine of Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry in Yountville, California, often described as the “best restaurant in America.” As well, he helped Keller open Per Se in New York City in early 2004. Ziebold worked for Chef Keller for a total of eight years. Prior, he worked under acclaimed Chef Jeff Buben at Washington D.C.’s Vidalia and at Spago in Los Angeles under the direction of Chef Wolfgang Puck. Ziebold graduated from the Culinary Institute of American with Honors, following a lifelong interest in cooking that took root in his native Iowa. Ziebold served as advisor to the U.S. Department of State within the Diplomatic Culinary Partnership, launched in 2012, where select American Chefs participated in public diplomacy programs that engaged foreign audiences abroad as well as those visiting the United States, joining an effort to forge cultural exchanges over the dining table worldwide. He is currently a member of the Advisory Committee of the S&R Foundation which promotes talented individuals in the Arts and Sciences, and has served as an advisor to the Joan Hisaoka Foundation for its annual fundraising gala from 2009 to present..
