Chef Timothy Dean
Back in April we learned that a TD Burger from Chef Timothy Dean of Top Chef fame would be opening up a new spot in the former Zuppa Fresca space in the Loree Grand at the corner of 3rd and K St, NE. They open up on Monday at 4pm and I was able to step inside for a quick look and chat with the chef.
I have to admit I don’t watch Top Chef (I don’t have cable), so I promise I wasn’t starstruck, but Chef Dean is a very very cool dude. Super nice and super enthusiastic about the space. Also he’s originally from DC – the Kenilworth neighborhood near the aquatic gardens. Anyway, a bit about the space – There’s seating for 68 inside and 60 outside. In addition to burgers there will be, pizza, wings, salads and sandwiches. The service will be fast and quality. You order by the door and then get a number to place at your table and a runner will bring your food. However, there will be a full bar so a cocktail server will come by if you want to order a drink:
A full bar including 6 beers on tap and 60-65 craft beers in bottles and cans
They open Monday at 4pm but after 10 days or so they will also open for lunch. And while delivery could be available in the future – carryout will also be available right away.
Lots of patio seating for up to 60:
250 K Street, NE
Hours of operation:
M-TH 11 am – 10 pm; bar & late-night menu 10 pm – midnight
F-Sa 11 am – 11 pm; bar & late-night menu 11 pm – 1 am
Sun 11 am – 10 pm
Oh yeah, one more thing – plans are for a bistro concept from Dean coming “to this side of town” in the near future too!
More photos and a look at the full menu after the jump. (more…)
A reader sends word that there was a Uhaul accident at the First and M St, NE parking lot around 9:15pm last night:
“It looks like he took out part of the sprinkler and set off the fire alarm system, which caused the Harris Teeter and apartment buildings to be briefly evacuated.”
243 K Street, NE
Indigo has now applied for a liquor license at the corner of 3rd and K St, NE:

Back in May we admired the new Swedish sauna looking waiting room for buses in Union Station. Check out the new kiosk they just built:
Awesome. They refer to it as a “Retail Pavilion” so I assume it will sell magazines, drinks and such – we’ll revisit when it opens.
From a press release:
Union Market, the highly acclaimed food market redeveloped by EDENS, one of the nation’s leading retail real estate owners and developers, announced today that FRESHFARM Markets will open a producer-only farmers market on July 21, 2013. This additional FRESHFARM Markets’ location will be open every Sunday from July 21 – October 27, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The FRESHFARM Market at Union Market will be located outside of Union Market on Neal Place, with over ten local farmers and artisanal producers providing fresh produce and other local goods.
FRESHFARM Markets operates 11 producer-only farmers markets that provide vital economic opportunities for local farmers and artisanal producers, and innovative outreach programs that educate the public about food and related environmental issues. These farmers markets include more than 150 farmers and producers from five states who farm more than 10,000 acres. The markets attract over 380,000 shoppers annually in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
In order to lower economic barriers to fresh local foods, FRESHFARM Markets accepts SNAP (Food Stamps/EBT) and other nutritional benefits and matches what SNAP shoppers spend with free Matching Dollars. The organization gave away $47,000 to low income shoppers in 2012.
“FRESHFARM Markets created our first Northeast DC FRESHFARM Market on H Street, NE in 2004 and we look forward to adding this new market to bring more fresh, healthy food and our SNAP and Matching Dollars program to the community,” says Bernadine Prince, Co-Executive Director of FRESHFARM Markets.
To celebrate the opening of the market Red Hen Owner/Chef Mike Friedman will be doing a Chef-at-Market cooking demonstration from 11:00 a.m. to 12noon.

In late May we learned that Indigo Indian restaurant was coming to the former Franklin’s Corner Store at 3rd and K St, NE. These are the folks who have a booth at Eastern Market and are hoping to open here in July/August.
Thanks to a reader for sending:
“Construction coming along at Indigo, new Indian restaurant at 3rd & K NE. They just put up the signage a couple of days ago.”

@ZoeTillman tweeted the news yesterday:
“Cue the sad slow jam: Ibiza Nightclub filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 3 http://bit.ly/10IVbfQ”
And in more bad news ANC Rep @TonyTGoodman tweets:
“Yet another Ibiza incident: ABRA show-cause hearing tomorrow for assault, sale to minor, interfering w/ investigation & more.”
Back in late May we learned the club, including “nude dancing license” was for sale for $4.5 Million.
