Damn the Torpedoes, full speed ahead for fast casual at Farragut Square! I feel like folks didn’t appreciate that brilliant title last time : ) so this they’ll appreciate – free food!! I happened to pass by yesterday and was told the Farragut location on I Street (next door to the coming La Colombe coffee) soft opens Wednesday from 11:30-1:30pm and from 4-6pm. On Thursday they’ll be open from 11-3pm. Both days is free for the first 150 but you’ll need to RSVP here. Ed. Note: I’m not certain of the Old Town details but you can find out more and RSVP for that one here.

“In old Quiznos space beside Golds Gym. Hopefully will be good. Still working on interior.”
Ed. Note: Rice Bar also has a location downtown at 1020 19th St, NW.
“Rice Bar has mastered the aesthetics of mixing. The experienced chefs excel in Bibimbap, which is truly the most popular food in Korean cuisine, reflecting the nature of Koreans, who like to blend and mix all things. Bibimbap is simply a bowl of white rice topped with a variety of cooked seasonal vegetables(Namul) together with cooked beef, beef tartare, or pan fried fish, and mixed with gochujang(fermented red pepper paste). The gochujang brings together the whole spectrum of tastes found in Bibimap.”
