Kinkead's, An American Brasserie was a fine dining restaurant in Washington, D.C. open from 1993 to 2012, named for its chef and owner Bob Kinkead, primarily featuring seafood and New American cuisine.[1][2][3]
Kinkead's was located at 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and it quickly became one of the most popular restaurants in DC when it opened in October 1993.[1] It was named one of the "25 best new restaurants in America" by Esquire Magazine.[4] In 1996, the Mobil Guide awarded four stars to Kinkead's, one of only two restaurants in Washington to earn that distinction.[4][1] In 1995, Bob Kinkead won the James Beard Award for "best American chef" in the Mid-Atlantic Region.[4][1] Many politicians and celebrities ate at Kinkead's, including President Bill Clinton, Senator Ted Kennedy, and dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov; and many of Washington's best chefs trained there, including Logan Cox, Jeff Black, and Ris Lacoste.[2][5]
In 2005, Bob Kinkead published a cookbook, Kinkead's Cookbook: Recipes From Washington D.C.’s Premier Seafood Restaurant.[6] In James Patterson's novels, Kinkead's restaurant is a frequent dining and date spot for the character Alex Cross.[7]
