"The new wood-burning Mid-Atlantic restaurant that officially opened inside the Line hotel in Adams Morgan in mid-July, chef Opie Crooks referenced a melon whisperer, an oysterman, a potato tiller, and a heritage-breed hog farmer, all on a first-name basis. For the record, they were David Paulk, Scott Budden, Emma Jagoz, and Bev Eggleston. Crooks’s history working at hearth-centric, locavore favorites like Woodberry Kitchen, A Rake’s Progress, and the Dabney would typically mark No Goodbyes as a big deal in D.C." - Gabe Hiatt
