Since opening Mélange in September, D.C. chef Elias Taddesse has wowed customers, influencers, and critics with a cooking style that punches up American fast food with touches of haute French cuisine and traditional ingredients from the Ethiopian kitchen. To start February, the chef has added a Mélange-style French dip, his first new Ethiopian-American remix since introducing the city to doro wat-style fried chicken and beyaynetu (veggie platter) patties. Taddesse’s new creation starts with whole ribeyes he’s aged in a coating of niter kibbeh, clarified butter seasoned with aromatics, herbs, and spices. It’s topped with caramelized shallots, sliced jalapenos, and a senafich (Ethiopian mustard seed) cream sauce. An accompany broth nods to kikil, a thin stew traditionally made with potatoes, turmeric, and lam

A petition to bring Waffle House to the District of Columbia is more than a third of a way to its goal. Put slightly less optimistically, the petition’s author hopes for 100 signatures, and there are 37 so far. The petition blames “big pancake lobbyists” for keeping a location of “America’s favorite diner” outside the nation’s capital.
DC exists in something of a Waffle House hole: The closest location is in Dumfries, Virginia, near Prince William Forest Park and about a 40-minute drive from downtown if traffic isn’t too bad. But the chain, a Southern institution known for customizable hash browns and excellent disaster planning, has plenty of restaurants north of the city: Frederick, Maryland, is something of a mecca, with three Waffle Houses within an easy drive.
Washington, DC – Downtown Washington, DC has taken on an eerie, militarised feel. Nearly every business, storefront and office have been boarded up and streets in the vicinity of the United States Capitol are closed off with metal and cement barriers.
A day before Joe Biden is sworn in as president, federal and local officials have taken unprecedented steps to secure the nation’s capital – two weeks after an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Five people died that day, including a Capitol Police officer. Amid threats for more protests from pro-Trump groups, officials are trying to ensure a repeat does not take place.
