History

Established in 2009.

The Daily Dish is a play of words that reflects the passion of its two owners, who believe in serving comfort food with a twist — food that is seasonally inspired, locally sourced and farm fresh.

Jerry, the Executive chef and co-​owner, was born in Ephrata, Pennsylvania and has a Mennonite background. His parents owned a grocery store that focused on locally sourced and natural foods long before the concept really existed. He grew up with a love of cooking and after working as a private chef and then a line cook and sous chef for Jean Michel in Bethesda, he started his first business, a boutique catering company. He enjoys making wholesome food that is reminiscent of family dinners surrounded by his parents and six brothers and sisters
