Tom Sietsema reports today that chef Cedric Maupillier's tenure at Medium Rare ended last week on June 7 — just days before the Washington Post critic's 1.5-star review came out. No scandal here, though: The chef was on a temporary contract at the Cleveland Park restaurant and has been training his replacement, JaiJuan Sheffield, for about a month. "I worked longer than expected," the chef tells Sietsema. "I wish Medium Rare was my restaurant." [WaPo]
