Jonathan Dearden IN at Ardeo+Bardeo

Ardeo+Bardeo has a new chef.

Ashok's pair of Cleveland Park restaurants will now be overseen by Jonathan Dearden. Dearden has worked at several restaurants in Florida and St. Lucia — he most recently worked at Sunset Beach in the Hamptons.

Dearden replaces Matt Kuhn, who is now cooking at Baja's restaurant NoPa Kitchen + Bar.
