“Sad news du jour: @RobertWeland, chef-owner of the vegetable-forward @garrisonindc, says he’s closing after Saturday. Partly to blame: “Traffic patterns,” as in business. “We gave it our best shot.” Yes, you did, chef. Upside: “We’d love to relocate.”
Garrison’s website says:
“We believe in serving locally grown, seasonal food in cozy digs right here in our neighborhood. Garrison is owned and operated by Chef Rob Weland and his family who live around the corner from the restaurant. We welcome neighbors, visitors, and dignitaries with the same warm service and fresh food for all.
Rob Weland trained under some of the “greats” in the New American Cuisine movement and also in Michelin-starred French kitchens in the 1980s and1990s and has since earned his bona fides in Washington as a chef equally dedicated to elegance and rustic farm to table classics.
He has always been inspired by local products and a passion for food traditions like smoking, canning and preserving that allow chefs to cook across the seasons.
Rob has established Garrison on the firm foundations of his classical training and on the upscale New American cuisine he has always excelled at creating. But, he will also borrow from exciting recent food trends that emphasize more traditional cooking methods and hearty whole foods served in a relaxed setting.”

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!
