An award-winning real estate agent, Jared Maites serves Compass Real Estate in the Washington, D.C. area. In addition to his professional activities, Jared Maites regularly spends time cooking and exploring the local food scene.

A member of the Vox Media family, Eater provides food news and information across a network of online platforms, and it recently released its list of the “best new restaurants” in 2019. Sixteen restaurants made the list, including Washington D.C.’s Call Your Mother. 

Call Your Mother calls itself a "Jew-ish" deli, and it made Eater's list in part for its ability to inspire a practically fanatical following for old-world deli culture. The publication describes Call Your Mother's latke the best in Washington, D.C., as well as highlights its bagels, which come with such smears as candied salmon. One bagel also comes dusted with za'atar spice. The restaurant is operated by Daniela Moreira, who was named an Eater Young Gun for her cooking talents at a young age in 2017, alongside Andrew Dana.
