“Julia’s Empanadas which has been coming soon for about a year is finally open on 17th Street. I had a great Chilean beef empanada yesterday. A little pricey at $8.50, but it was a pleasant surprise to have no request for an additional tip!”

“Dear PoPville,
There is a new Tonkatsu lunch venue on Q st, inside Hank’s. A Yakitori chef, Blake, started a lunch Tonkatsu pop-up from Tue to Fri at Hank’s Oyster Bar when they are not open. I think we haven’t had the real Tonkatsu in Washington DC until last month; the Tonkatsu at Katsu Kyu is fried in lard, which makes the deep flavor. Their Tonkatsu (I tried Loin) is thick, unlike thin slices you usually find in restaurants. Cooking thick meat perfectly requires knowledge and experience. (more…)
ICYMI: Kayu’s new location in Dupont Circle opened in August.
“Let us take you behind the name of MORENA.
Kayu and Morena feel like two shades of warmth – both depicts comfort and home. In Tagalog, MORENA refers to a warm shade of brown, a word that celebrates the natural beauty of sun-kissed skin.
It’s deeply meaningful to create spaces that feel personal, welcoming, and reflective of who we are.”
The good news from Morena:
“We’re ready to welcome you.
Our highly anticipated grand opening is finally here!

From an email:
“Amparo Fondita, a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in Dupont Circle, is ditching the traditional lunch format and rolling out a weekday lunch burrito takeover by its sister concept El Gabacho. The April pop-up also serves as a preview of El Gabacho, Irabién’s forthcoming fast-casual concept, inspired by those formative stops in Villa Ahumada in the Chihuahua desert. It’s “simple, soulful food that honors tradition while meeting the moment,” according to Chef/Owner Christian Irabién.
The El Gabacho pop-up at Amparo, live through August 14th, (more…)
