    It will be difficult for me to patronize one of his restaurants after reading that story, and I'm not usually the boycott the owner kind of guy (hell, I still regularly attend Redskins games). Everyone deserves a second, and even a third, chance. But this guy is still stuck on "bad press" this and "someone else's fault" that. He is not helping himself with these interviews.

    Branzino can also be found on the menu at BlackSalt, Il Canale, and Zaytinya. I would call ahead to confirm availability before going as menus can change and supplies can run out. --- Greek Taverna (hopsing)

    Top Chef Star’s ‘Le Kon’ Restaurant Opens in Clarendon, by Alex Koma September 6, 2018, on ARLnow.com. That is a tough strip and to me is psychologically less accessible than the rest of Clarendon. I am not in love with the menu, but will try to keep an open mind. Maybe I will stop by for a gin & tonic during happy hour.

    How about some mayo with that? Avocado Toast With Mayo? This Musician Swears by It, by Nick Marino, August 28, 2018, on nytimes.com.

    The $12 half order of seafood and linguine is not a bad bar food order after the gym at sport and health in Ballston. Tasty with half the carbs you don’t need.

    A tad pretentious, perhaps. Per their website: I have never heard of this song. And nothing about this makes me want to Google it. The hipster name I generated was: Empress & Iron. If I were to own a tailor shop, I would definitely use that.

    Closed 3 years ago this month. Landlord still searching for a replacement tenant. I guess that Brian Wolken's comment that the landlord "has unrealistic expectations about what the space is worth on a monthly basis" has been borne out through time.

    It looks like there is a new chef in town: Rob Szydlowski. Biz Buzz: New chef and new community theatre leader, April 20, 2018, on fauquiernow.com. I do like a place that does not close between lunch and dinner service, and they had a small but hardy group of customers enjoying a late lunch on Labor Day around 3pm. The caprese salad with house made mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil, spring mix, olive oil, and balsamic reduction was more than acceptable (although I do expect more from my tomatoes) and was ably accented with the addition of 5 perfectly seared scallops which turned it from an appetizer into a meal. I had never heard of a Fusilli Caesar Salad, but sure enough, there it was on the menu. A Google search reveals this is not as uncommon as I had first assumed. I thought the ceasar dressing was quite well done but the presence of the fusilli I just found confusing, so I am not fully on board with this trend, if that is what it is. All in all it was a nice meal, in a warm relaxed setting, with a friendly bartender. That puts it on my list of places eligible for a return visit. They also have a Honor Brewing Company tap paying tribute to a local fallen hero.

    I meant to imply that I agreed with your reaction to Sietsema singling out what I consider to be a less than weighty concern in the grand scheme of things, but I just started discussing the issue. So, rather than a sad attempt to imply, I clarified the post above.
