KitchenCray is opening its first Virginia restaurant in the Alexandria area.
The soul food restaurant is under renovation now at 6909 Metro Park Drive, just west of Kingstowne. It is taking over the former Walker’s Grille space.
KitchenCray already has a restaurant on H Street NE in Washington, D.C. and a café in Lanham, Maryland.
Eater.com reported on the H Street opening: “KitchenCray began as a catering business that won chef-owner J.R. Robinson attention from celebrities and a spot as a contestant on Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. Loaded with Cajun and Caribbean flavors, the restaurant offers generous portions of shrimp and grits, lobster mac and cheese, fried chicken and French toast, and stuffed salmon.”
