The New York Times offers a part one of their list -“ 100 Things Restaurant Staff Should Never Do.” My favorites are: Never refuse to seat three guests because a fourth has not yet arrived and if a table is not ready within a reasonable length of time, offer a free drink and/or amuse-bouche.And they have flowering teas, which are just pretty and I wish I had around when I was doing raver afterparties. WBJ says each one of these restaurants makes 30,000 items of food a day. From the release: “Tryst recently launched its “Don’t Camp Alone” campaign with the goal of encouraging Laptop Users to share their tables with other patrons…Guests who typically leave after looking but not finding a seat are now offered the option of joining a Laptop User’s table.” More initiatives are planned from the coffeehouse. I must say I’m impressed with their lunch prices. Washingtonian has a nice look at the restaurant, glad to see they kept the original Ollie’s kitchen location. The Reserve on L Street opens, and I find their website to be mesmerizing.

Be on the lookout for Giada DiLaurentis, Guy Fieri, the Neely’s, Tyler Florence, Richard Blais and Paula Deen and her sons. This weekend is the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show.

Yummy, inexpensive Mediterranean food – yay! No liquor license – boo! Rents were raised, so the owner is now looking for new smaller digs.
