Sounds like Tadich Grill may be in trouble. A tipster sends word that they’ve closed. Oddly their D.C. Facebook page posted something at 11am this morning:
“The holidays may be over, but we’re still full of cheer…and lobster rolls!
Please call 202-638-1849 or click bit.ly/2fBKzdJ to reserve!”
But when you call the number (where the restaurant is supposed to open at 11:30am) goes to voicemail and the Facebook has no mention of “Fire Protection System” problems.
Thanks to Rachel for sending this note on the door:
San Fransisco’s Tadich Grill opened up in the former Ten Penh space back in late 2015. STAY TUNED.

From a press release:
“Washington, D.C. chef Haidar Karoum, formerly the executive chef at D.C. favorites Proof, Estadio and Doi Moi, announces January 5 as the opening date of Chloe, his first solo restaurant project. Chloe, a showcase of Karoum’s international culinary perspective, combines two approaches to dining under one roof: a sophisticated, contemporary dinner service and a chef-driven casual carryout lunch that blends the chic with the convenient. Chloe is located in the newly completed Arris building at 1331 4th Street, SE in Washington’s Navy Yard neighborhood. Chloe will debut its dinner service first, followed by lunch and brunch shortly thereafter.
“As I’ve developed Chloe’s menu, I’ve kept it open to all the styles and flavors I’ve worked with over my career,” Karoum said. “My experiences, both personal and professional, are international, and I draw inspiration from personal travels, family traditions and a career spent in some of the best kitchens in D.C. But binding it all together will be a sense of practiced hospitality that anyone who dined at my previous restaurants will recognize.”

However the SoJu Martini also intrigues me. Anyone stop by Bom yet? What’s the early word on the chicken?

“Dear PoPville,
Welcome to Wine & Butter, Capitol Hill’s newest cafe and market!
You might know our adorable corner spot at 11th and East Capitol Street SE from its days as P&C Market. We’ve made a handful of changes — the biggest being the addition of an espresso machine so we can offer coffee drinks — but we’ve tried hard to keep the soul of the specialty neighborhood store our predecessors worked so hard to create.
Our family has lived on Capitol Hill for more than a decade and frequented the market almost daily. When we had the opportunity to buy it in 2017, we couldn’t stop thinking about how wonderful it would be to create a community gathering spot right here in our own neighborhood. We’re keeping the heart of market as we’ve always loved it: featuring the highest quality and organic milk, eggs, ice cream and meats; gourmet cheeses and a choice selection of beers. And, of course, terrific wines and creamy butters. (more…)
Thanks to Zac for sending:
“Zen taco replacing custom fuel on Pennsylvania Ave by the white house”
Zen Taco’s website says:
“Zen Taco (aka TruTaco), founded in 2016, is a place where flavors you know and love come together in a bold, unique, and delicious way. Inspired by the flavors of Latin America and Asia, here we bring together these two worlds and the result is Truly delicious.
By combining slowly roasted meats, freshly prepared vegetables, healthy grains and a variety of other toppings and fixings, we’re able to serve up authenticity like you’ve never tasted it before. And, while the food we serve takes hours to prepare, it comes together in minutes when you order it.”
Check out their menus here.
Updates as they get closer to opening.

Thanks to all who sent word about this story from the Washington Post:
“When Call Your Mother opens next year in the former Alfie’s space in Park View, the deli will specialize in bagels. Not Montreal bagels. Not New York bagels. But something of a hybrid developed by the team behind Timber Pizza, the Petworth shop that was recently named Pizzeria of the Year by Bon Appétit.”
