Thanks to Shawn for sending the photo above and asking for an update on the Due South that was coming to Chevy Chase in the former Organic Wine spot. Well I finally got the scoop on what’s going on. I spoke with owner Bo Blair yesterday who tells me that Due South has been scrapped but since they were able to get this larger space a whole new restaurant has been planned and it will be called Wheelhouse!!

While the menu will be different, Blair tells me “Wheelhouse will bring to Chevy Chase what Millie’s did for Spring Valley.” (more…)
