From a press release:
“One year after launching his hit Ethiopian-soul food spot, Doro Soul Food, Chef Elias Taddesse is popping up a new burger concept in the same space in DCs Shaw neighborhood. Mélange Burger brings Chef Taddesse’s beloved burgers back to DC diners with some new twists–and smashes.
Mélange Burger, which opens October 31st at 11 AM, will offer Taddesse’s take on smash burgers, served on fluffy house-baked French milk bread buns. The patties, with names like Le Royale, The Oklahoma, and the McDowell, are made from locally sourced dry-aged beef from Maryland’s Sassafras Farm, which Taddesse grinds and blends in-house.
The burgers are topped with the Michelin-starred chef’s homemade condiments like jalapeño bacon jam, roasted garlic aioli, and butter chive Dijonnaise. (more…)

Update: “It’s a bus island. Allows the bus to stop in the lane instead of pulling to the curb and reduces mixing of buses and bikes.”

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to make sure the community knows about Earth Grocery/Coffee Shop! They opened in May of this year. There has been a hole in my heart (and stomach) when Amsterdam Falafel closed. I’ve been having a hard time finding a causal delish falafel in the city. The falafel at Earth Grocery is deelliiiisshhhh! (more…)

Thanks to Adam for sending: “I’m often critical of how DC handles cars and traffic violations in the city, but this new traffic circle near Cardozo High School is a great traffic calming measure, and a huge improvement over the previous intersection!”
