D.C.’s Best Brunch Restaurant Draws Inspiration from NJ Diners | Eater DC

"I find the original All-Purpose in Shaw to be the more intimate and formal institution compared with the Navy Yard/Capitol Riverfront outpost; it’s the location Friedman and team describe as closer to the sit-down trattoria end of the Italian-American inspirations he remembers from Westfield, N.J. Brunch recently expanded to Shaw, and Erik Rollings holds down the fort there, so many of the same Jersey-diner and red-sauce influences — the celebratory brunch spirit, the baked egg and Italian-sausage skillet, breakfast pizzas like the Beltway, and other dishes that tell personal stories tied to Friedman’s upbringing — are now available in a cozier, more formal setting." - Tim Ebner
