From an email:

“We’re really excited to be trying something new that will potentially improve quality of life for our employees.

I did just notice that there was quite a bit of heated debate going on in the comments so I wondered if you mind clarifying one point – we are paying people a much higher hourly wage than the $2.77 minimum (over 3 times the minimum), and have a few people on salary. We are also offering retirement plans and hope to offer health benefits in the future.

Also – We’re starting brunch service this weekend! Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10:30am – 3:00pm, and will (fingers crossed) hopefully have beer & wine by the end of the week.”

We first heard Thai was coming to H Street in the former Pho spot back in July 2014. Like the Korean spot across the street, looks like it might still be happening – now proper signage is up for IMM on H. Check out their Annandale, VA menu here.

Very neat detail about Sally’s Middle Name from the Washington City Paper:

“At their new H Street NE restaurant, Sally’s Middle Name, owners Sam and Aphra Adkins have decided to forgo the traditional gratuity system. Instead, an 18 percent “service charge” will be automatically added to every check. That money will be split evenly between front and back of the house employees.”

Thanks to a reader for sending word about the new signage for Bab Korean Fusion. Been waiting a while on this spot – hopefully not too much longer. Check out their menu here. “Bowls come with an organic cage-free egg, toasted sesame seeds and house made Korean kochujang sauce.”

Stay tuned.

Thanks to a reader for tweeting us from 10th and H St, NE.

From an email:

“Sally’s is coming along nicely and we’re on schedule to open June 3rd. We wanted to give people one more chance to try the food before we open so we’re having a Mother’s Day Brunch pop up at Toki Underground this coming Sunday (May 10) from 10:30am – 3:00pm.”
