If your notion of an Irish pub is a static menu of fish n’ chips in a shamrock-decked bar, chef Cathal Armstrong wants to change that perception with Mattie and Eddie’s. The James Beard-anointed chef, who championed seasonal Irish cooking over 14 years at Alexandria’s Restaurant Eve, just opened the gastropub with a large outdoor patio in Pentagon City. It takes over the space once occupied by another Irish pub, Sine.
“There’s been a thing about Irish food in America for years,” says Armstrong, a Dublin native. “The idea that Irish food is terrible is really an ancient concept.

This is one of many mysterious quotes found in Agatha Christie’s best-selling novel,
And Then There Were None. And Then There Were None features the stories of ten strangers, all with a wide variety of occupations and backstories, including a judge with an obsession with justice, a governess, a soldier, a doctor, a police inspector, a religious woman, a butler and his wife, a war general, and a handsome athlete.
All ten characters have one thing in common: they were invited to Soldier Island because they got away with a crime they had previously committed. Following their arrivals, people begin to die one by one and something becomes very clear: there is a killer among the 10 strangers.
