From a press release:
“Macon Bistro & Larder slated to open May 10 in Chevy Chase, D.C. brings to the neighborhood the classic bistro cuisine of Macon, France, and the southern hospitality and traditions of Macon, Georgia. That means grilled mountain trout with pecan persillade, pork rillettes, boiled peanuts, and raclette with fingerling potatoes. Creative cocktails, craft beers and a focused French wine list will round out the offerings — all within walking distance of neighborhood homes and the Metro.
Chef/owner Tony Brown, who hails from Macon, Georgia, is a graduate of Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School. Brown honed his craft at Union Square Café in New York and Square One in San Francisco before starting his own restaurant, The Burro, a Cal-Mex quick-service chain with three locations in D.C.
Now he’s ready for a new challenge. He wants to put a fresh, contemporary twist on the simple, classic style of a neighborhood bistro with warm, friendly service. Brown has hired back to the D.C. area Chef de Cuisine Michael Matis who most recently was Executive Sous Chef at Yardbird in Miami. Trained in the area, Matis has worked in the kitchens at CityZen and Citronelle.
Braised short ribs with shallot gravy, Macon fried chicken, and seared scallops on butter bean mash are just a few of the items Brown has on his menu. Macon Bistro & Larder will also sell prepared foods, including homemade caramels, quick cured pickles, Grandma Essie’s biscuits and a rotating variety of sweet and savory snacks and heat-and-eat entrees.
Look for this mid-priced bistro to become the neighborhood go-to spot for drinks with friends, an easy weekday dinner, or a fun weekend meal. Go with your date, your parents, your kids or your buddies. Macon Bistro & Larder has something for everyone.
Macon Bistro & Larder is a locally owned neighborhood restaurant re-inventing bistro cuisine in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Chef Tony Brown, inspired by his southern roots and his world travels, brings together the cooking styles of Macon, Georgia, and Macon, France, to create classically delicious dishes – all served with a side of southern hospitality. Macon, in the historic Arcade Building in Chevy Chase, opens for dinner daily at 5:00pm. Macon Bistro & Larder, 5120 Connecticut Avenue, 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!
