After a successful year, where DBK not only won local awards, was recognized by critics, and most importantly, developed a faithful and ever growing following, Chef Don Berto teamed up with his brother Makendy Massillon, to present the DMV with “Port-au-Prince,” a full time Haitian restaurant right on the Maryland/DC border.
