From a press release:
“Bart Hutchins, executive chef of soon-to-open Le Mont Royal, is taking over the Navy Yard kitchen of Brent Kroll’s hit wine spot, Maxwell Park, beginning Friday, October 7 through Friday, October 14. The pop-up will focus on dishes inspired by a thread Hutchins plans to pull at Le Mont Royal when the “French-Canadian Disco” opens in Adams Morgan this fall: guilty pleasures remade using French techniques. His menu will be available nightly from 5-10 PM during the week-long takeover.
“Pretty much since the beginning of my time in D.C., Maxwell Park has been THE bar I go to, so I’m excited to be a small part of it”, says Hutchins. “But more than that, Maxwell Park has changed the game in terms of the city’s wine culture and it’s an honor to be working with their team”.
Hutchin’s menu for Maxwell Park features his personal greatest hits of guilty pleasures classed up a bit via his training in classic French cooking. “It fits right in at Maxwell Park, in that it’s all about having some fun and not taking itself too seriously. We’ll have that same attitude in the kitchen at Le Mont Royal with some French-Canadian flair added to the mix”.
Takeover offerings include:
Butter Burger, Hutchin’s riff on the burger from Midwest chain Culver’s, topped with shrettuce, onion, and animal sauce;
Duck Heart Crunch Wrap Supreme à la Taco Bell, but made with charred duck heart, Mimolette cheese, pickled radish, and crème fraiche;
An array of seasonal vegetables and salads; and
Popcorn and Reese’s Pieces Panna Cotta
The takeover pop-up menu will be available from 5-10 PM from October 7th through October 14th. Walk-ins only.
Maxwell Park-Navy Yard is located at 1346 4th St SE
Le Mont Royal is opening at 1815 Adams Mill Rd NW“

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
