Big claim from Michelle but does look delicious:
“Best sit down lunch sandwich in all of #DC is the Chicken Curry on the Cranberry Nut Bread Le Diplomate! Enjoyed it with amazing friends on a challenging day & can’t wait to go back for another! See you there & save me a sandwich!”

On Friday we posted a petition pleading for the “practice of live sandwich making to the DC Wegmans.” And soon it shall be – update from the fine folks at Wegmans:
“We are planning on having a made-to-order sub shop station at the Wisconsin Ave store. In fact, we have been planning on it for a bit but were unable to get equipment and fixtures in time for opening.

“Dear PoPville,
I thought this sincere, but funny, petition might be something the community would enjoy (and agree with) on a quiet Friday.”
From Change.org:

“Dear PoPville,
Kind of unique — it’s a sandwich shop inside the existing bodega, DC MINI SUPERMARKET Beer & Wine ATM. I got the bacon, egg and cheese (the Harley on their menu, here). It was awesome. Read More

From a press release:
“Fight Club, the hit pandemic-era sandwich pop-up that operated out of Beuchert’s Saloon, is resurrecting in its own brick-and-mortar location at 633 Pennsylvania Avenue SE on May 10. Fight Club 2.0, headed up by co-owners Andrew Markert, Bart Hutchins, and Mackenzie Conway, will initially open for weekday lunch, serving up the OG pop-up menu of sandwiches and snacks that gained a cult-following during the height of the pandemic. A few weeks later, it will extend its hours and roll out its full menu with expanded offerings including a new large plate menu category, as well as a cocktail program centered around boozy punches on draft. Fight Club’s initial opening hours will be Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM for full-service dining, carryout and delivery via DoorDash, Caviar and GrubHub. Read More
