Last summer we reported that Ema Rossi Pizzeria Napoletana would be moving in to the old Pizza Hut location in the Rock Creek Village Center (5556 Norbeck Rd).
Pizza Hut closed back in April of 2020 and the location remained vacant for a few months, but the space was quickly snatched up and permanent signage for Ema Rossi went up in the winter.

When Evan Walton left his job as the executive chef at the MGM to start Recess Catering & Events, he knew he’d be taking a risk. Three years later, he experienced the same catastrophic results many food and hospitality based businesses experienced due to the COVID pandemic…and the biggest risk of them all was realized.
All of his catering events through October have been cancelled and Evan decided to launch three different food concepts out of his catering kitchen to attempt to make up for the loss and keep his employees.
It has been a little over a year since we broke the news of Hawkers Asian Street Fare coming to the old Redwood location in Bethesda Row (7121 Bethesda Lane).
Yesterday we took a peek inside and saw that even though some progress was made, there’s still plenty to go before we can expect an opening.

Cinnaholic will open its first MoCo location on Friday, June 19th!
It has been over two years since we announced Cinnaholic’s impending arrival to Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg.
Back in November we reported that Don Pollo would be coming to Downtown Silver Spring. It will be located at 905 Ellsworth Drive in the spot that was home to Noodles & Co.
The restaurant was not expected to open until well into 2020. Construction has been ongoing and though an opening date hasn’t been provided, it’s still expected to open in the coming months.
