"I learned that the Commodore Public House and Kitchen, which comforted Logan Circle regulars with creative burgers, Southern barbecue, and $10 cocktails, will close next week after three years of business because the owners could not reach a new lease agreement. The management team at Proof Hospitality shared the news in a statement published by Washington City Paper and the Hungry Lobbyist blog, sent from culinary director Travis Weiss; Weiss notes that the venue—which took over from the Veranda Greek restaurant—has hosted baby showers, engagements, thousands of Tinder dates, and even a visit from the Stanley Cup after the Washington Capitals' 2018 championship. The last day to order signature items like pulled pork totchos or the pimento cheese–topped fried chicken sandwich is Saturday, November 30, and Weiss writes that the team will "forever be indebted" to the relationships they created there." - Gabe Hiatt
