Gravitas chef Matt Baker is, admittedly, not good at sitting idle. Over the course of the pandemic, he prepared takeout meals and elaborate holiday packages from his Michelin-starred Ivy City tasting room until the fancy prix-fixe dinners could resume, and hosted virtual and then in-person cooking classes. In addition to welcoming a daughter, he opened Baker’s Daughter, an all-day cafe and market across from Gravitas, and planned another branch, opening in Chinatown this summer. And now that the world is slowly returning to normal? Well, it’s time to really ramp things up.
