Popping up
Two food trucks, Pop-Up Poutine and Pop-Up Patisserie, are wheeling around Montgomery County thanks to husband and wife entrepreneurs Greta Ober and Stephan Beauchesne.
The Canadians, who live in Germantown, met at Montreal’s McGill University in 1988 and married in 1989. (Beauchesne, who was born and raised in Montreal, is quick to clarify he’s French-Canadian; Ober’s from the province of Saskatchewan.) He has an MBA in finance and economics; she has a master’s degree in library and information science.

Tikka Masala, a new Indian restaurant named after the classic curry dish, is set to open in downtown Bethesda on Friday.
The restaurant, at 4929 Elm St., will serve only takeout and delivery due to Montgomery County’s most recent set of COVID-19 restrictions that bans indoor dining at bars and restaurants. The County Council passed the restrictions Tuesday; they took effect at 5 p.m.
Tikka Masala will serve a variety of lamb and chicken dishes for $12 to $14, as well as vegetarian entrees that include Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese cubes), Chana Masala (chickpea curry) and cauliflower vindaloo. The vegetarian entrees range from $9 to $10.
