The newest hoagie hub under the Taylor Gourmet banner opens at 11 a.m. today on 14th Street NW. Mayor Vince Gray is supposed to be there for the ribbon cutting; Louis Sarcone Jr., however, probably won't. Also opening this morning: A new bakery, Le Caprice DC, in Columbia Heights. Here are some pics of the [...]

If you happen to be in Bethesda today, drop by Taylor Gourmet, where the gang is handing out free six-inch hoagies (or, if you prefer, a pastina salad) to all comers. It's a part-holiday, part-one-year-anniversary party at the fancy sandwich shop's lone suburban location at 7280 Woodmont Avenue. The proprietors are also raffling off various [...]

The sandwich sticklers at Taylor Gourmet have finally relented on their restrictive condiments policy. Beginning Thursday, mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard will be available upon request at the Philly-style hoagie haven. Previously, only oil and vinegar were provided.

With a government shutdown looking close to unavoidable at this point, official Washington is going to be closing down. Never mind that trash is about to pile up around town and GED-seeking D.C. residents won't be able to take a prep test for their upcoming exam, it's time to drink cheap beer, stuff your face [...]
Eating my way through your advice, an ambitious list of vegetarian sandwiches from 24 different restaurants. More Comments Come True. I previously praised Taylor Gourmet's Spring Garden hoagie for its restraint: just two ingredients, broccoli rabe and provolone, piled in proportion to create a simple, satisfying, and spicy sandwich. Taylor's Christian Street sandwich, however, falls short in the [...]
All sorts of foods go well with beer, and all sorts of brews pair well with food. Spicy hot wings and lukewarm lager? A classic combo. But, chocolate stout-flavored chicken wings? The District’s craft beer craze has officially hopped the suds shark. The dark chocolaty poultry stands out like a greasy black thumb from even [...]
