The weekend’s wish list is in PowerPoint.
Your Perks: 1) A physical copy of the first Playboy and digital access to every issue of Playboy ever published. See, history can be sexy. 2) A box of tasting whiskeys from distilleries all around the world. 3) A nearly indestructible leather bag by way of Great Britain.
Here’s the story of Andrew Evans, a fine-dining chef on the Eastern Shore who chucked it all when he got obsessed with BBQ competitions. And now he’s trucking said BBQ—St. Louis spareribs, Texas brisket, pulled pork—into Union Market every day. So it’s a story with a happy ending.
A 900-degree grill with a smoker box. Seems like a great way to get... pizza. Yup, Pizza Vinoteca is the latest stop on your never-ending pizza parade. They use whole wheat/red wine dough, then throw it on the grill with toppings like pork jowl and spicy chili pesto. Then you eat it.
This weekend, you’re going to the National Cathedral for all the right reasons. Namely, for the egg sandwiches, cappuccinos and seven kinds of waffles. Open City’s new location is on the church grounds, in an old building complete with stained glass. Be on your best behavior.
This Saturday at the Arc’teryx store opening at CityCenter, you’ll find two things:
1. All the fleece, waterproof shells and puffy jackets you care to wear.
2. Gratis crab sandwiches from a food truck. Because nothing says extreme mountain adventure like jumbo-lump
crab.
Up and down H Street next week, there’ll be a murderers’ row of foie gras dishes—nine, to be exact, like foie poached in chicken fat with Thanksgiving trimmings and an open-faced duck sandwich with foie mousse. Consider it a tasting menu. That requires some walking.
