Food.Fun.Stuff: Foodie News
In the foodie news:
~Evo Bistro has expanded. The additions include an expanded bar, a private tasting room that can be reserved for smaller dinner parties, and a wall of wines. The restaurant now holds 65 people and is available to host private events. Evo is most commonly known for its Enomatic System which is a wine tasting system from Italy that allows guests to serve themselves and try excellent wines of different varietals and regions (*Pictured above). Alongside the tapas they serve, Evo has been recognized as one of the Best Wine Bars (*Washingtonian Magazine, 2009) in our region. Good stuff. Now they have space to accommodate all the newcomers who will flock there after hearing about this revolutionary wine system...
~If you're not on Twitter, then you probably missed our Tweet about Rogue States opening. How awesome is it that the District will get a new late night gourmet burger joint?? Sweet. Rogue does not have a definite opening date (*We are keeping our eyes and ears peeled...) but they do have a definite menu which includes burgers "Now & Zen" (*a blend of soy sauce, green onions, ginger and toasted sesame seeds), "You Got Curried" (*house curry blend, onion, cilantro and jalapeno) and "No Burger, No Cry" (*house jerk blend, red onion and habenero peppers). We can't wait to try and we're going to make ourselves feel better for breaking our diet with a side of their sweet potato fries:-)
The Where:
Rogue States
1300 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
The Money: Burgers are $7 (*unless otherwise stated) and can be made with ground turkey for an extra $2
~Mixt Greens is open! What does this mean?? Tossed-to-Order Organic Gourmet Salads and Sandwiches. All ingredients are sourced directly from local farmers and sustainable resources. Think the ingredients of a salad at Citronelle but at McDonald's prices. The new salad shop will also feature an edible wall with seasonally rotating herbs and vegetables (*Yum.). During its tenure on the west coast, the restaurant was named the "Greenest Restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area" in 2009. The restaurant is slated to open 3 locations in the District before the summer and each will be open from 10:30 am to 3 pm (*Urrrggghh, this means long lunch lines...not a good look...). We welcome new greenery from the west coast, now can we get an unhealthy dose of In-N-Out to make its way out here???...
The Where:
1200 19th St. NW Washington, DC
(Upcoming openings)
1311 F St., NW
1700 K Street, NW
927 15th St., NW
The Money: $7.95-$11.95 for salads and $8.95 for sandwiches (*which is served with a side salad of greens)
