We have confirmed that Milk & Cheese at 18050 Georgia Ave in Olney, the former site of Thai Cuisine, has closed after six months. The restaurant featured cheesesteaks, po’ boys, milkshakes, and cheesecakes.
The restaurant was opened by Chef Sammy Davis, a former winner of the show Chopped on the Food Network, who is also behind Milk & Honey, which currently has locations in DC (1245 H St. NE) and Atlanta.

Verizon Wireless, located next to Downtown Crown Beer & Wine, was expecting to undergo renovations, but employees told us they were closing permanently a few days back. We are told fast-casual salad restaurant Sweetgreen will be moving in to the space next.
Sweetgreen currently has three MoCo locations, in Bethesda, Downtown Silver Spring, and Pike & Rose. Crown has been without a salad fast-casual restaurant since Chopt closed in early 2020 with plans to move that location to the Kentlands neighborhood.
Popeyes has opened its Downtown Silver Spring location, according to signage in the window that was first seen yesterday (Now open 11-10pm).
We first reported back in October that Popeyes will be taking over the space that was left vacant by Bombay Gaylord in 2015 at 8401 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring. Bombay closed after a fire destroyed the restaurant and the owners have since opened Nirvana Indian Cuisine in Olney back in late 2018.
Back in April we let you know that Feasty Crab would be taking over the old Red, Hot, & Blue location at 16811 Crabbs Branch Way in Derwood/Redland/Rockville.
We spoke with a representative at the restaurant who told us that it would be open “in about a month” pending inspections.
A couple days ago Lapu Lapu, which will be the sister restaurant of popular Rockville/North Bethesda/Kensington restaurant Kuya Ja’s Lechon Belly, announced via Instagram that it will be opening in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg.
The new restaurant will be taking over the 325 square foot storefront that was formerly home to Tex-Mex restaurant Peppers, located next to Vasili’s.
The Kentlands neighborhood in Gaithersburg has seen plenty of changes in recent years, but still have three restaurants many have been asking about since the announcement of the impending arrival of Burton’s, Chopt, and Java Nation.
We’ve provided updates on each of them and have compiled the latest on all three.
