Eater DC interviewed owner Karl Johnson:
How close are you to being forced to close?
That’s a really hard question to answer in this industry just because of the nature of how random cash flow is at some times. We’re in a pretty bad situation. We’re doing absolutely everything we can to not let that happen. That’s kind of why I sent out that email was not to say “we’re closed tomorrow” but to basically say, “this is very, very, very realistic that this might happen” and put my pride aside and say, basically, come help me.
This one looks like it may have been professionally done:
From Washington Business Journal:
“Iricanin has signed a lease for 3,000 square feet at 523 Eighth St. SE. The restaurant’s name and chef are still to come, but it will serve food of his native Serbia and feature a 700-square-foot patio.”
Anyone familiar with Serbian food? WBJ says they should be open in late October or early November.

Back in May a reader sent in a photo noting the progress of the Chipotle coming to Barracks Row on Capitol Hill. I just got word from the folks at Chipotle that they are aiming for an August 7th 13th opening.

The much anticipated Hank’s on the Hill opens up in the old Ba Bay space at 633 Pennsylvania Ave, SE. You can see their menus here. We’ll be back for a proper judging in a few weeks. I can’t wait to see how it compares to the Dupont location.
