WASHINGTON — If you’ve ever had the desire to drop in on some of the region’s best restaurants and rate the ramen or critique the consommé, now is your chance.

No, Tom Sietsema is not abandoning his post at the paper. Rather, local PBS station WETA-26 is looking for everyday foodies to be a part of its new program, “Check, Please!”

The show, which is produced in other markets around the country, including Chicago and San Francisco, will highlight a variety of dining options in the D.C. area.

Katz Deli, the 129-year-old pastrami palace on New York’s Lower East Side, is looking to expand, and D.C. might be on the list, the shop’s owner tells WTOP.

Mason Dixie Discovers the Flip Side of Opening a Red Hot Restaurant by Laura Hayes, Washington City Paper

According to this article in Washington City Paper, four poke restaurants have either just opened or will open shortly in D.C. Poké Papa and Abunai Poke opened this month. Poki District and Honeyfish Poke are opening soon. I enjoyed the Poke at Hula Girl Bar and Grill in Shirlington and was wondering if anyone had tried the two new poke restaurants or had recommendations for places to get poke in/around DC or NoVA?

Has anyone tried one of the two other Uyghur restaurants in the area: Queen Ammanisa in Arlington or Kiroran in Fairfax?

Anyone know when the Springfield location is going to open? 

According to this page on the Taco Bamba website, early 2017.

Hmm... I hope the closing of Wood Ranch BBQ Grill is a one-off and not indicative of bigger issues at Springfield Town Center. While I try to avoid the mall at all costs... I do believe that the mall provides a big boost to the local Springfield economy and is a net plus for the area.

Hi all... this is my first post. I'm really excited to be part of this community. I'm looking forward to learning more about the many dining options in and around the Washington, D.C. area.
