Because Y&H has developed a warm, personal relationship with Joe Englert, Mr. Fatlas, I mean Mr. Atlas, District invited me to a sneak-preview of the long, long, long-awaited H Street Country Club on Sunday night, and I have just one thing to say: You'll never get a tee time. This place is going to have [...]

After months — no, wait, years — of delays, the H Street Country Club is set to open at the end of the month. So says Walter Nicholls over at BizBash, which even has a few up-to-date photos of the place (as opposed to the months-old construction crap above). As fun as putt-putting my way [...]

Englert no doubt searching for Folkman's replacement. Nightclub mogul Joe Englert might be surprised at the lies his staff apparently spun to hide Teddy Folkman's absences for weeks of taping, but he's not shocked that his Granville Moore's chef has become a finalist for the Next Food Network Star. Englert has been singing Folkman's praises [...]

Folkman (front) in his pre-Star days Teddy Folkman, a fixture on our Best of D.C. lists, will soon have a chance to prove his worth to a wider audience. The chef at Granville Moore's (and spanker of Bobby Flay) has been selected as one of ten finalists for the fifth season of The Next Food [...]

Remember my post earlier this month about the H Street Country Club opening in late March? Scratch that. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer. This is, frankly, why I hate writing about opening dates.

As you may have noticed, I've changed the title of this weekly feature, which is usually published under the name of Greatest Hits. I have done so out of respect for the top item about the passing of pastry chef Jérôme Girardot. There was nothing great about his untimely death, even if, in life, Girardot [...]

[Editor's note: Joe Englert asked if he could write an account of his time with Young & Hungry, who followed around the nightlife mogul last week during our Average Day coverage. This is his unedited take.] By Joe Englert It is 7:45 a.m. and in walks writer Tim Carman sucking on a Starbucks like a [...]

In case you missed all the excitement—playing tennis and bubble hockey in the morning! drinking at noon! picking out flatware in the afternoon!—I spent the day with nightlife mogul Joe Englert as part of our Average Day experiment to chronicle daily life in messy, tedious, nearly Proustian detail. It turns out that Englert is not [...]

The time has come, I think, to say no more stories on Joe Englert's H Street Country Club until he opens the damn place. This tease has been going on way too long. We here at the City Paper have been particularly susceptible to the hype; we started in two years ago with this item [...]
