"A new era for one prominent Sichuhan place on East Broadway will start with cheaper bites and rice porridge. Chef Garrett Doherty and bar manager Benjamin Chew have taken over Capitol Hill’s Lionhead — which renowned restaurateur Jerry Traunfeld opened in 2015 — introducing a more robust happy hour menu, along with some new congee dishes. Co-owner Chew tells Eater that the new happy hour won’t be an “afterthought” like it was before and will include a good sampling of the menu, including lamb dumplings ($6), dan dan noodles ($5), and specialty cocktails ($8). The congee on the main menu will include a red braised beef cheek variety, with peanut pickle mustard, greenhouse-made chili oil, pork thread, and a sous vide egg." - Gabe Guarente
