Catahoula opens in Washington, DC in a former Capitol Riverfront space, drawing inspiration from Louisiana’s bayou culture. The restaurant’s location and nearby river views evoke Mississippi imagery, reinforcing the partners’ goal to recreate the vibe of the Bayou State. Chef Thomas Malz leads an indoor brasserie centered on seafood and refined New Orleans traditions, including dishes such as corn-and-crab bisque, petite prime rib à la Prudhomme, and chicken-sausage gumbo. An outdoor 89-seat beer garden-like area focuses on po’boys and crawfish boils, with plans to expand the menu over time. Beverage director Rachel Sergi brings New Orleans and DC bar experience to the concept.
"Both Sergi and Malz have family connections to Louisiana and some serious Crescent City cred. Malz, a veteran chef with French-Canadian roots, has worked in the kitchen at in New Orleans along with numerous DC restaurants. Sergi, Catahoula's beverage director, can tell you anecdotes about hanging out in New Orleans in the '90s with Lydia Lunch ."
