Thanks to John for sending from Momofuku:
“To our Momofuku teams,
I want to start by saying that I hope you and your families are safe. This crisis has been the hardest time in Momofuku’s history, and I’m writing today to share more hard news and to discuss what comes next. As I mentioned in my last note, I started here as an intern straight out of college and never left. Like many of you, I stuck around because of the people who work here. You are the heart of our company, and you deserve a clear explanation of the changes that we’re making, why we’re making them, and what our vision for the future is.
After significant deliberation, we have had to make the extremely difficult decision to permanently close Nishi and CCDC. (more…)

“Does anyone in DC know what’s going on with Firefly? I will cry super big tears if it’s gone forever.”
Ed. Note: Last week we noted renovations coming to Number Nine in Logan Circle. Presumably we’ll see many more as guidance comes on how bars/restaurants may reopen with social distancing?

Please email your awesomeness to [email protected] and let me know where you found it.
The following awesomeness was sent to us from a Facebook restaurant/industry page:
“I have friends who are looking for a person named Seth who worked at Impala in Aug 2015. (specifically Aug 30th) Seth was their server that day. It was their unlikely first date and they have strong memories of Seth shaping the event.
They are getting married next spring (Pandemic Pending). And would like to extend an invite if he’s interested.
This is silly.
But also serious.
Because life is dumb.
Who knows Seth?
Is Seth here?“
