About our Company

No Goodbyes @ The LINE DC is an all-day neighborhood hangout devoted to the ingredients in DC’s own backyard— The Chesapeake Bay region. Chef Opie Crooks (a StarChefs Rising Stars Award-winner) and the No Goodbyes team tap the farmers, fishers, and ranchers of the East Coast, to create an eclectic mix of feel-good dishes—from carrot cake oatmeal to “Wild & Wonderful” ramp spaghetti—morning, noon, and night.
They say Atlantic sailors in the 1800s had a rule for their friends and family each time they left shore— never say goodbye. It was a practice meant to inspire good luck: no goodbyes meant a swift, safe return. No Goodbyes at the LINE DC extends that sentiment to all travelers. No matter what journey you're on— we hope to see you again soon.
