Wes Morton, Executive Chef
Wes Morton brings a fine combination of taste and technique to AGAINN

A native of Louisiana, Executive Chef Wes Morton is no stranger to comfort food, and returns to Washington DC to interpret his passion for fresh, local produce with a British influence. After having worked at some of the fine kitchens of Washington DC such as Citronelle and CityZen, Morton took some time to explore other parts of the country and worked at well-known establishments including the French Laundry, and The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay in California to expand his culinary horizons with a special focus on fresh, local ingredients. Before joining AGAINN, Chef Morton was the Executive Chef of Alden Hotel in Houston, TX and received glowing reviews including four out of five stars from the Houston Chronicle in 2008, and further recognition as one of the Best New Restaurants in America by John Mariani in Esquire for the hotel's restaurant *17. Prior to opening of AGAINN, Morton explored Pennsylvania and Shenondoah Valley family farms, searching for the highest quality products to be featured at AGAINN and spent time in London where he got inspired for many of the items featured on the AGAINN menu.
