Rob Theriot, formerly of Laguna’s on Pensacola Beach, is the new executive chef for the Coupe in Washington, D.C. and has caught the attention of the Washingtonian. Here is what the restaurant owner had to say about Rob:
“We brought him up from Florida. He’s the executive chef for all our places. We brought him in as the executive chef just for the Coupe, but very quickly we put him in charge because he’s a phenomenal guy. The American diner is the most classic thing we produce as a cuisine and as a pastime. That’s part of our culture. What we’re doing are takes on that. Instead of doing Buffalo wings, we’ll be doing frog’s legs. There are still burgers, fries, eggs . . . we provide something a little different, but it’s still comfort food.”
