From a press release:
“The celebrated team behind Shaw’s beloved neighborhood cocktail bar Service Bar is at it again announcing the second round of their popular monthly local fried chicken sandwich series – ‘FRIED’. Beginning today – Wednesday, February 5th, 2020 – from 5pm until close – the talented team at Service Bar is continuing its creative twist on its community-centric fried chicken sandwiches featuring critically-acclaimed and dynamic husband and wife chef duo Chef Tiffany MacIsaac of Buttercream Bakeshop, and Chef Kyle Bailey of The Salt Line. The series will feature their famed fried chicken sandwich, ‘The Top That’ until March 5th, 2020 – and is a reunion of the two working together on the popular fried chicken sandwich they collaborated on years ago while working for a local restaurant group.
District-based fried chicken sandwich fans will have the opportunity to sink their teeth into this sweet and savory sandwich named ‘The Top That’ ($13) – which showcases a juicy piece of Buttermilk-crusted Fried Chicken, Bacon, Maple Chicken Jus, Buttered Pecans, seasoned with Cayenne and Fenugreek, served between two sweet yeast doughnuts made fresh daily in-house at Service Bar. A portion of proceeds from the sales of their fried chicken sandwich throughout the month will be donated to Safe Shores (https://www.safeshores.org).
“This sandwich strikes a balance between our two roles in the kitchen – with strong sweet and savory elements”, said Chef TiffanyMacIsaac and Chef Kyle Bailey. “It’s ridiculously indulgent! We’re excited to be bringing this sandwich to Service Bar’s FRIED culinary series.”
“With the ongoing buzz surrounding Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A’s fried chicken sandwiches, we thought it would be fun to organize a creative community-centric fried chicken sandwich series at Service Bar – FRIED – featuring some of our favorite chefs in the DC area and giving fried chicken sandwich lovers access to many of the popular sandwiches only available in Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the District”, said Chad Spangler, co-owner of Service Bar. “There are so many talented chefs here that are doing unbelievable things with fried chicken sandwiches so we’re excited to be able to continue to showcase them along with our drinks. Everyone knows fried chicken pairs well with Champagne so that will be an option to enjoy with the sandwiches along with a selection of beers and our hyper seasonal craft cocktails.”
Each month a new notable local chef will have the opportunity to debut their version of the perfect fried chicken sandwich including critically-acclaimed Executive Chef Johanna Hellrigl of soon-to-open Mercy Me, and Chef Opie Crooks of A Rake’s Progress, to name a few, and with additional chefs being added to the line-up in the coming months.
Reservations are not required, sandwiches are not available for carryout or delivery, and the fried chicken sandwiches will be offered on a limited first-come first-served basis throughout each month. Doughnuts for the sandwiches will be made in-house and are expected to sell out quickly daily.”

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!
