Chop’t Creative Salad Company Ponders Penn Quarter Location, Vapiano Goes Big In DC!
Cheryl sends us more restaurant news for Penn Quarter:
Chop’t Creative Salad Company is the latest import from New York. With three stores in NYC, they offer freshly-chop`t salads (with different degrees of “chopness”) made with their own (28) salad dressings. It appears that a double-blade mezzaluna knife is their holy grail. Two 2,000-square-foot stores are planned for DC (perhaps Dupont Circle and Penn Quarter) with three more to follow. The Acela-frequenting traveling owners, Colin McCabe and Tony Shure, plan to open the first store in Spring 2007.
Vapiano plans to open in Ballston, downtown and Chinatown. The first Vapiano is slated to open before the end of the year. The other two restaurants will be open in the first quarter of 2007. The plans call for 20 Vapianos to open in the DC metro area. Currently, there are 11 Vapianos open throughout Europe.
Note: We’ll try to locate an online refernce for this info.
