Ethiopian Chain Chercher Plots Massive Area Expansion | Eater DC

"I learned he’s also started work on a 60-seat Columbia Heights location at 3608 14th Street NW, scheduled to open in February; that Chercher will be the smallest and will house a large kitchen in the back where staffers will prepare and cook all of the food for the entire chain so quality is consistent—Abebe says “they don’t cook the same” and that by cooking in one place “everywhere people go, they get the same kind of food,” a central kitchen that will also free up time for future expansion." - Lenore Adkins
