John Dabney · 1824–1900

The Name.

Our Story →
Named for one, honoring many.

Service is
the homage.

We take our name from John Dabney — and carry it as an ethic, not an ornament. An enslaved Virginia caterer and bartender whose craft was renowned while his freedom was withheld; his mastery was denied the recognition it earned. The homage is in the service.
