Possibly coming to Bethesda soon - would be a welcome addition.

The Bethesda location opened yesterday at 4904 Fairmont Ave. (Bethesda Magazine).

Closed.

Closed.

I haven't noticed service issues at the Courthouse location.  I wonder if it's a Capitol Hill issue?

DGS in Mosaic is closed per Eater.

That's too bad.  I went there a few times, and the location was out of the main trafficked area.  Brine is there too, and I wonder how it's doing.

The Washington Business Journal reported a couple of weeks ago that Zengo is closing and Circa will open in the space.

DCist reported last year that Heritage India was moving from Glover Park to Wisconsin Ave. to the former District 2 Bar & Grille near Two Amys.  PoPville says that a reader reported the new location is now open.

The former Rogue 24 location is now Tiger Fork, which opened on Feb. 26, 2017 (Washingtonian).

Bethesda Magazine reported that the Wintergreen Plaza, Rockville location is expected to open on March 13.

Looks like old, dry, reheated brisket. Interested to know where it is so I don't have to go there.

Texas Jack's it was. I didn't finish it.

On Feb. 10, Tim Carman tweeted that Matt Lang left.

Closing on April 30 because of an increase in rent (Eater). 

I've wondered when/if the menu will change.  I'm interested to see it!

As of this Monday, Fireworks/Arlington will have an extensively new menu.  Pizza and possibly a few dishes from the existing menu will remain but beyond that it will be completely different.  Had noticed a while back they had rehired an old cook who had moved on to get a culinary degree and then had worked at several restaurants in DC in ever more prominent positions.  Fireworks rehired this person to be chef on site.   On Sunday morning the staff will be trying out and learning the new menu.  The person I spoke to had no idea what to expect but promised me it was going to be great.  (Hmmm what else would he be expected to tell me???  )
