Fresh Baguette’s Website says:
“Fresh Baguette is THE authentic French bakery in Bethesda
Our bakery is named after its signature product, the traditional baguette. Our master baker leaves nothing to chance and uses the very best French techniques: a cold dough process that develops unique flavors, homemade “levain” (leaven), and an oven imported from France with a stone based sole for outstanding baking. The result is a baguette that is light, airy, with just the right crunch and doesn’t require a trip to France. And we bake baguettes throughout the day, so you can always get a fresh one.
In addition to our traditional baguette, we offer a wide variety of breads all prepared and baked with the same care: (more…)

From a press release:
“Best known for bringing Tex-Mex to the nation’s capital, Guapos debuts its newest location at the Georgetown Waterfront on Monday, August 20th. The sleek and stylish restaurant, designed by renowned Georgetown architect and interior designer Ernesto Santalla, PLLC, captures the best of the US – Mexico border, two seemingly disparate yet surprisingly compatible cuisines, into a concept that includes both authentic dishes and inspired new favorites.
“Tex-Mex food is a regional cuisine filled with stories and has always been the perfect bridge between two cultures,” said Jorge Figueredo, Director of Operations of Guapos Restaurants, who spearheads this Georgetown project. “Washingtonians are passionate about food and this concept is definitely bringing something different and more groundbreaking than our other locations. We want to bring a concept where guests experience real Tex-Mex with a hint of Latin America, and this means a great variety of food and superb service.”
At the helm of the kitchen will be Executive Chef Nathan Breedlove, who will design a menu filled with traditional Tex-Mex dishes, along with redefined classics and unique items inspired by both cultures. Chef Breedlove is no stranger to Mexican cuisine and has ample experience in weaving cooking cultures together in kitchens such as ThinkFoodGroup’s award-winning restaurants Oyamel and Zaytinya, as well as Stephen Starr’s renowned French bistro, Le Diplomat.

Thanks to all who sent the Washington Post report:
“According to charging documents filed in D.C. Superior Court, Smith was riding his bike westbound in the center lane in the 3100 block of M Street.
The driver was in his car behind Smith and became angry that Smith was riding slowly, according to police. As the driver went past Smith, police said, Smith reached out and hit his car trunk with an object.
The driver then stopped his car and threatened to call police to report the damage. As Smith tried to pedal away, the driver grabbed Smith’s bike, police said. Smith then repeatedly called the driver the racial slur, police said, and struck him in the head with the bicycle U-lock.”
There are much more detailed allegations posted on attorney Lee Merritt’s Facebook [warning, there is a graphic photo of the head injury]: (more…)

In June 2017 I posted some Wawa scuttlebutt about a Georgetown location in the former Restoration Hardware.
Melissa Weiss writes us this morning:
“@PoPville I got some hot Wawa gossip from a store manager in Delaware – he said there’s a new one coming to Georgetown. It’s going to be 2 stories, w/ a coffee bar & bakery on the second floor. Could he have been pulling my leg? Sure. but hoping he was telling the truth, bc WOW!”
It is no dream! From the horse’s mouth:
