Food News You Can Use: Coming Soon Edition
While Y&H was peeking into civil court records and poking around a chef contest, others were actually hunting down news about restaurants that are opening and closing. Here's a quick run-down of what we've missed — or what I've missed:
- Tom Sietsema reports that the guys behind the mini-Matchbox chain are planning a small, personal comfort food restaurant on Capitol Hill.
- Sietsema also has the scoop on the Neighborhood Restaurant Group's latest offering, a chop house in Old Town.
- Metrocurean breaks the news about Cork Wine Bar opening a new market on 14th Street NW, not far from the popular restaurant.
- A poster on DonRockwell.com notes that the Gaithersburg branch of El Tapatio has closed down.

Thank god Bookbinders is leaving. If I wanted cramped, loud, and terrible, I could save my money and eat a Happy Meal in a bus shelter. I just hope this "chop house" has better steaks than Bookbinders. I had no idea that there was a USDA Grade of "Nastyass."
