Chef Jose Andres, a Bethesda resident, restaurateur, and humanitarian, announced earlier today via Twitter that he will be opening a new restaurant in the Waldorf Astoria (formerly Trump Hotel), as a new location of his restaurant chain, The Bazaar, will open in the Old Post Office.
He announced the news in a video on Twitter that shows him speaking in front of the Old Post Office building while the bells from the clock tower chime behind him. “For whom the bells toll…for the new restaurant from Jose Andres at the Old Post Office. Boom.” Andres says in the video that can be seen below.

The Bazaar, which has locations in Miami, Las Vegas, and Chicago, is described as “a vibrant mix of sophisticated cuisine, artful service and playful theatrics, The Bazaar by José Andrés is where dining transcends into fête extraordinaire. Each Bazaar location offers its own unique flair, all with the promise of an experience of a lifetime. From a carnivorous celebration in Las Vegas, to the Latino spirit of South Beach.”
