Back in March we learned (Another) Something Good’s Gonna Come to the 800 block of Upshur Street. And that something good is gonna be Timber Pizza Co.!

“The Timber guys serve authentic wood fired pizza using only the freshest local ingredients and incorporating new twists on traditional favorites. They can be found anywhere from local farmers markets to wineries/breweries and are available to cater your next private event.”

This will be their first brick and mortar location. If all goes well they hope to open January 1st. And when they do they’ll also be open for lunch. Another great addition to Upshur Street.

From an email:

“Starting next weekend Upshur Street Books will be selling coffee and pastries by Room 11 starting at 10am every Saturday and Sunday morning. We’ll also have copies of the Washington Post and New York Times available for purchase.”

Side note: Props to the Petworth Day organizers who put on a great event in the 800 block of Upshur Street on Saturday – finally the weather Gods cooperated!

From an email:

“In addition to our new bar and bar food program (The Drinkubator), I’m excited to let you know that our food incubator and pop-uppery EatsPlace is hosting Kalye (Filipino food) on Friday June 12 and Saturday June 13, from 6-11pm, The pop-up was originally scheduled for only June 12th, which coincides with Philippines Independence Day, but due to overwhelming demand, it has been extended.  Reservations are encouraged, but walk ins are welcome.

Kalye literally means street. And the masterminds of Kalye, Chefs Red Garcia and Santiago Cardenas, want to bring street food from the Philippines to Washington, DC. Red and Santi want to introduce Filipino cuisine to the DC Metro area with adidas (sous vide chicken feet), betamax (grilled pork blood), balut (fertilized duck egg), walkman (barbequed pork ears), crispy patata, and grilled pork sisig. I will be the guest chef on Saturday and am honored to work closely with Chefs Red and Santi.
I have created The Drinkubator cocktails just for this pop-up, like the Guapo Apo (vodka, cane syrup and muddled citrus topped with a shaved ice summit and tropical fruit puree is a tribute to the tallest mountain in the Philippines) and the Manila Punch (our take in the navy grog with rum and coconut water). Filipino beer like Red Horse and San Miguel Light will also be available.”
