"Chef Michael Mina's Italian steak-and-­seafood place in City Ridge might be more of a neighborhood spot than Bourbon Steak, his high-rolling restaurant in Georgetown's Four Seasons, but it's still plenty glitzy. Chargrilled steaks are brushed with Lambrusco butter-there's even a gargantuan mozzarella stick topped with caviar, for goodness' sake. Bao Bei A Rockville strip mall has been extra crowded since chef Kevin Hsieh found a permanent home there in August for his popular Taiwanese ghost kitchen."
"Asheville and the Atlanta suburb of Decatur love their outposts of Meher­wan Irani's James Beard Award-winning Indian street-food spot. In August, a third location arrived in the Union Market District, with celebrated Mississippi chef Vishwesh "Vish" Bhatt at the helm. The colorful dining room serves vibrant street snacks, plus some Indian dishes that nod to the American South, such as matchstick okra fries and a KFC (Kashmiri fried chicken) sandwich."
Several notable new and expanding restaurants have opened in the D.C. area, offering a range of cuisines. Acqua Bistecca serves Italian steak-and-seafood with chargrilled steaks brushed with Lambrusco butter and a gargantuan mozzarella stick topped with caviar. Bao Bei in Rockville features squishy bao buns filled with braised pork belly or tofu, rice bowls with braised pork, and a fried chicken cutlet dredged in sweet-potato flour. Chai Pani expanded to Union Market, serving Indian street snacks and Southern-inspired dishes like matchstick okra fries and a KFC (Kashmiri fried chicken) sandwich. Dawa offers a fast-casual offshoot of Elmina with jollof rice, suya-crusted short rib, and a West African take on ramen. Dok Khao is a polished Thai dining room with Phuket chili crab and lamb massaman curry.
