This week will be the first time we are going mobile as we head to Cava Mezze in Olney where we’ll be joined by Cava founder and executive chef, Dimitri “Chef D” Moshovitis.

We’ll be recording our 9th episode at the restaurant on Monday, 9/3/18 at approximately 3pm-4pm and we’d love for you to stop by and join us.


Husband and wife team, Florian and Shannon Radke, opened their first bakery in Berkeley, California in 2010. Four years later, the couple appeared on Shark Tank, where they initially accepted a $200,000 investment for 20% of their company (the deal later fell through due to differences in how investor Robert Herjavec and the Radke’s saw the company moving forward).

The bakery will be located at 321 Ellington Drive In Downtown Crown. The location used to be home to the “Downtown Crown RPAI US Management Office.” They expect to open in early 2019.

Chef and owner Caroline Yi grew up in MoCo, attended Wootton High School and the University of Maryland at College Park.

This season she has been selling her goods at the Pike & Rose Farm Market, where she has a very loyal following. Yi chose Pike & Rose for her brick and mortar bakery and café because she sees it as the perfect location.


After speaking with a few employees the last two days, I was able to confirm that Taco Bar is planning to open in Olney this October.

Taco Bar currently has locations on Russell Ave in Gaithersburg, and in Frederick. Taco Bar Washingtonian (in Rio) is not related to the restaurant. They released the following statement today:


I was told by an employee that the location will be in King Farm, but was recently informed that it’ll be adjacent to King Farm at 540 Gaither Rd. in the Redland Corporate Center.

Bon Fresco makes their own bread in-house. The ciabatta takes 30 hours, start to finish. “There’s no rushing it. Break open its crust, and you’ll see why it was all worth it” says their website.


The restaurant offers a wide variety of wines (sparkling, white, red, international, sweet red, dessert, fruit, specialties, and more) along with many other beverages and a menu that consists of beef & pork, seafood, pasta, chicken, and burgers/sandwiches.

​This news was first reported by Eater DC earlier this week.


According to Wikipedia, “Lululemon is a self-described yoga-inspired athletic apparel company for women and men. The company makes a variety of types of athletic wear, including performance shirts, shorts, and pants, as well as lifestyle apparel and yoga accessories.”

Crown resident Seth Lessans informed of the news based on his conversation with someone that was doing construction in the building (next to Sephora across from Coastal Flats). An employee at the Bethesda Row location told me they expect the store to open in late December, but that can always be pushed back to early 2019.
