Back in September a LebTav took over the former Taylor Gourmet space near Farragut Square. One reader wrote: “I had the beef shawarma sandwich and I’d order it again.” Any other fans?

“Dear PoPville,

I saw the news a couple months ago about a number (8?) of Taylor Gourmet locations opening under new ownership. Just this morning a friend posted to Instagram about a new one in her building in Dupont, and I think the old one by the White House and one in North Bethesda are back open but I’m not sure. Do you have any intel on the locations that will reopen under the original name?

Early thoughts from readers on how faithful it is to the original would be interesting too.“

Thanks to Jess and Luke for sending word:

Taylor Gourmet closed their shops back in September 2018. In April Washingtonian reported:

“Taylor Gourmet’s assets–including trademarks, customer email lists, social media and domain names, and recipes–were acquired in March by a company called Source Cuisine, headed by Steve Kalifa, who works in real estate development and health care consulting. Kalifa beat out bids from fast-casual chain Cosi and Taylor Gourmet founder Casey Patten in a bankruptcy auction for the brand. Kalifa spent around $260,000 for the assets and says he has raised around $2.5 million to begin resurrecting the business.”

Stay tuned for exact opening dates – and taste tests to see how they match up to the original!

Thanks to Andrew for sending us this morning:

“apparently Taylor Gourmet is still alive and well at DCA Terminal B?”

Last noted in September, how long will they last?
