Ed Witt has moved to Washington


June 4

New Yorkers might remember Ed Witt as the creative chef at two short-lived restaurants, Varietal and Bloomingdale Road.
Well, he’s going to try his hand at cooking in a different city: He has moved to Washington, D.C., and he plans to open a place in Georgetown at the end of the summer called Morso. He says it will be small plate Mediterranean cuisine with a Turkish influence, and as an indication that he’s not kidding around, he’s about to leave for Turkey for three weeks of research.
This is particularly interesting to me because I’ve seen an uptick recently in cuisine of the Eastern Mediterranean. I think I’ll write a story about it.

Could be. Ed just got back from Turkey, and I’m sure he’s full of ideas for his new place.

Anonymous #2, just to show you what kind of service you can get as a Food Writer’s Diary reader, I asked Ed that very question, and he said “On the corner of Potomac & M St. Should be open some time in September.”

Looking forward to try delicious cuisine. I think it will be on M Street across the Georgetown Mall...
