Whoa, wild. Thanks to Natalia for finding out who’s replacing the former Taylor Gourmet near Farragut Square – LebTav:
“Whether you visit our LT Cafe, LEBTAV or LT Market locations, you will find yourself grabbing a bite while on the go, or picking up prepared dishes from the grab and go section to take home. Relax in a casual setting, or call ahead for pickup, either way, you’re going to love it!”

“Dear PoPville,
With the rise of fast casual and expanded carry out options, what’s the protocol on tipping? I notice most fast casual restaurants preset the payment system with tipping options (none, 15%, 20%, etc). Is there an expectation for tips for fast casual?
