Moon Rabbit Mysteriously Closed. What's Next?

Moon Rabbit, the award winning restaurant that was at the base of the Wharf’s Intercontinental Hotel, closed down abruptly two weeks ago. The Washington Post reports that the shocking closure might have been the hotel’s attempt to union bust the staff’s labor organizing efforts. In the fallout, chef Kevin Tien legally got ownership of the name Moon Rabbit, and his recipes. We chatted with him about his search for a new D.C. location, and his reflections on D.C.’s restaurant industry so far.
