The Study

A new chef and menu concept at The Morrison House’s library-themed bar and restaurant may just be the most exciting new reason to plan a visit to Old Town sometime soon. Chef Tomas Chavarria hails from Costa Rica and brings a variety of Mesoamerican dishes, all of which are comprised of ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors in the Mid-Atlantic region. The top dish to order here is Esquites. Unlike the traditional Mexican style, Chavarria’s version is fashioned from baby corn and rubbed in a three-spiced rub. It pairs nicely with the Fire & Ice cocktail, a drink with pineapple-infused chartreuse and ghost pepper tincture.
