Whew.
From a press release:
“Since opening it’s door in October 2013, DCity Smokehouse has become the go-to location for great DC-centric BBQ. Now the loved restaurant prepares for it’s next stage as chef Rob Sonderman steps down and a new pit master is named.
DCity Smokehouse’s parent company Southeast Restaurant Group is pleased to announce Shawn McWhirter as the new lead pit master. Shawn hails from Hill Country and has been known as the all-important guy behind the smoker since DCity’s inception.
“Rob Sonderman has been a great asset to DCity Smokehouse and we wish him the best as his next endeavor,” says Scott Jacobs, SERG co-owner. “Furthermore, this is an exciting time for us as we name Shawn McWhirter as our new lead pit master. Shawn has played in important role as part of our “Brisket Squad” for more than two years and we’re looking forward to having him and the rest of the team continue to deliver great BBQ to our beloved neighbors far and wide. DCity Smokehouse fans can expect the same great food integrity they have always loved.”

A reader reports:
“I guess DCity permanently closed the FL Ave location on Christmas Eve (I just discovered this when I went to look at the menu online). According to its twitter account [“we OPEN back up, Monday January 11th in our new POP Up spot at 1540 North Capitol St NW”], it sounds like it is re-opening as a pop-up in Wicked Bloom (obviously affiliated) on Jan. 11. It is not clear when it will be moving permanently to the new location though.”
2416 Wisconsin Ave, NW
From a press release:
“December 1 marks 25 years since ROCKLANDS Barbeque and Grilling Company opened its doors in Glover Park. In 1990, the city had a few homegrown barbeque pits, but not many, and none served the distinctive “Washington barbeque” that founder John Snedden defined. The restaurant’s original barbeque sauce—still its house sauce today—marries a tomato base with plenty of onions and vinegar, still Snedden’s favorite not-sweet complement to chopped pork.
Phyllis Richman, then-restaurant reviewer for The Washington Post, came to visit after a few months. As she put it, ROCKLANDS has “some of the best barbequed meat and accompaniments north of the Carolinas and east of Texas” – a great review that nearly swamped the new restaurant. ROCKLANDS still cooks in the same manner she praised, including smoking only over wood (no gas), offering a limited and barbeque-true menu, and serving the original vinegary barbeque sauce to accompany its smoked meats.

“On the corner of 6th and H Street, NW in Chinatown. Just saw yesterday on the way home. They were working on the exterior. Several years ago it was a video store then temporarily a pizza by the slice place.”
Could be awesome. Updates when more is known.
Last week we learned about Mr. P’s health problems (and family’s decision to remove from life support). While I still haven’t heard an official word – it appears the spot at 6th and Rhode Island Ave, NW will not reopen. @lac025 tweets us an update:
“@PoPville Mr. P’s signs have been taken down”
6th and Rhode Island Ave, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I’ve stopped by Mr. P’s (a ribs place noted by the presence of a big bus) the past two Sundays. Last Sunday, there were chairs and a few signs up listing hours. Today, there were no chairs and no indications of hours. I’d tried their phone number a few times, but got indications that the line was disconnected or voice mail?
Is it closed? Has it moved?”
