Pizza Won’t Heal All Our Pain But It Helps – Check Out the Action at All Purpose Including Their New CSA

By Prince Of Petworth

From the good people of All Purpose:

“Both All-Purpose locations are offering selections from the regular menu for takeout and delivery alongside nightly specials, including take-home pizza kits with everything you need to bake pizza at home ($15). Alcohol to-go is available for pickup only and can be ordered ahead online. The menu includes wine, beer, growler fills, Aperol Spritz kits, batched cocktails and a selection of “bottomless” brunch cocktail packages. AP Shaw piloted a CSA this week to help our farmers at Earth N Eats Farms.

This week’s box (picture above) had 1 dozen eggs, 1/2 gallon of milk, 1lb carrots, 2 heads of lettuce, 8oz salad mix greens, 1.5lbs of dried beans, 3lbs Kennenbec pototoes & 1lb beets. We are purchasing them for $25 from the farms and selling them for $20.83 + 20% employee fund (total of $25).* Let me know if this needs clarification. The plan is to expand the CSA program to All-Purpose Capitol Riverfront this week. Each location will have boxes delivered on Tuesdays for purchase that day (while supplies last). Both APs are also selling convenience items like toilet paper ($1 per roll) and can be added on to any food order.

“Scrappy’s Bagel Bar – a temporary weekend pop-up from Chef Rob Rubba, featuring homemade bagels and schmears, plus at-home mimosa kits served out of its sister restaurant Estadio”

By Prince Of Petworth

From a press release:

“As plant-centric Oyster Oyster prepared to finally open its doors after years in the making, COVID-19 hit and the restaurant brainstormed ways to take care of staff it had already hired, and cover bills so it could hopefully, eventually open once this world pandemic was over. Enter: Scrappy’s Bagel Bar – a temporary weekend pop-up from Chef Rob Rubba, featuring homemade bagels and schmears, plus at-home mimosa kits served out of its sister restaurant Estadio. Scrappy’s Bagel Bar will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 11am until the bagels run out.

There were many factors that inspired the pop-up and helped it all come together: Rubba’s first job was baking bagels and making bagel sandwiches at a Manhattan Bagel shop in southern Jersey, he started his culinary career in pastry and often makes bagels at home for his family, and Estadio has fantastic bread ovens (which has allowed them to bake all breads in-house) at their disposal.

“Pho Viet Delivery?”

By Prince Of Petworth


3513 14th Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I was hoping to order delivery from Pho Viet (on 14th street). They don’t do delivery themselves. A few years back I was able to order through Postmates but can’t find them on there anymore. Usually I order and pick up but I’m too far to walk and will not be taking public transport/ride shares/etc. (more…)

“My partner and I paired the spreadsheet with a randomizer, so that anytime we grab a drink from the fridge (or a meal) we can tip a restaurant worker at random.”

From Daniel: “Number nine in Logan Circle posted photos of all of their bartenders with their Venmo accounts”

Thanks to Maggie for sending:

“I saw your article on the DC Virtual Tip Jar, and have been looking for something like this all week! My partner and I paired the spreadsheet with a randomizer, so that anytime we grab a drink from the fridge (or a meal) we can tip a restaurant worker at random.

I wanted to share with you, although there’s no css/styling yet as I’m not a developer. Works great though!”
