A downtown Silver Spring restaurant got the Hollywood treatment when it was featured on the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
In the episode, cast members Candiace Dillard Bassett and Nneka Ihim drive through downtown Silver Spring and dine at Miss Toya’s Creole House, a popular restaurant that features Southern and New Orleans style Creole cuisine.
While other Montgomery County restaurants and establishments have been featured on the reality show, which follows the lives of eight women living in and around Potomac, Ihim mentioned the restaurant by name during the episode.
Miss Toya’s Creole House opened in 2022 in the Ellsworth Plaza area of downtown Silver Spring.
Teenager arrested for two carjackings
An 18-year-old was arrested earlier this month in association with two carjackings in Montgomery County, police say.
Joseph De-La-Paz is being held on bond for allegedly taking part in two carjackings in November. On Nov. 7, a woman said she was held at gunpoint in the 3100 block of McMahon Road in Silver Spring, and five masked suspects took her cell phone and drove off in her car.
On Nov. 8, a woman reported to police that she was carjacked on Leonard Court in Rockville after suspects demanded they drive them to the bank, but she ran away and called the police as the suspects drove away in her car.
De-La-Paz is a suspect in both incidents.
