CityZen - 1330 Maryland Ave SW

Executive pastry chef Matthew Peterson clearly picked up a thing or two when he competed for the top prize on Bravo's
Top Chef: Just Desserts, serving CityZen guests treats that satisfy every sweet tooth craving imaginable.
GofG Must Try: The peanut butter and jelly dessert compiled of grape ice cream and crushed nuts, which mimics the flavors of the actual sandwich.
