1971 -        

Jahmond "Jay" Quander is Founder and CEO of 1799 Prime Steak & Seafood and its parent company, Irrived Hospitality Inc. in Alexandria, VA. Jay previously worked as General Manager at The Blackwall Hitch, and he has opened restaurants in Manhattan, NY, Annapolis, MD & Virginia.  He was also previously Director of Food and Beverage Operations at George Washington’s Mount Vernon.  Jay is a descendant of the Quanders that worked on the Mount Vernon Estate, and established their freed slave community where Quander Road and Quander Road School stand.  


Jay's latest venture, 1799 Prime Steak & Seafood Restaurant is  rooted in the rich history of the Quander family. The restaurant gets its name from the year of George Washington's death, December 14, “1799” upon which his will provided for the manumission and freedom of his 123 enslaved, including Quander ancestors.
