Lots of news on the meat beat:
- 82 Steak Out, a Parisian-style steakhouse serving one basic meal (steak, salad and fries) for a set price, opens for dinner Monday, February 3 in Rockville Town Square (see my blog, January 9, for more info about the place). Lunch starts on February 4. 101-C Gibbs Street, Rockville Town Square, 240-428-1295, www.82steakout.com
- BurgerFi, yet another better burger chain, opened last week in Silver Spring. The Florida-based chain serves all-natural, free-range, vegetarian-fed Angus beef, and also offers a “secret menu.” Check it out at http://burgerfi.com/menu#secret. 8504 Fenton St., Silver Spring, 301-565-2100.
- Say goodbye to the Bethesda location of Kraze Burger, the Korean-founded chain that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early January (see my blog, January 8). According to blogger Robert Dyer, the restaurant on Woodmont Avenue has closed.
When it comes to white meat:
BonChon Chicken, the popular (also) Korean-founded fried chicken chain, is celebrating its first anniversary at its Rockville Town Square location. Customers who check into or post "Addicted Yet?
