"Expanding his Northern Virginia presence, New Orleans native David Guas opens Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen in McLean as his first full‑service restaurant in the area, spotlighting small Mid‑Atlantic and Gulf Coast farmers and fishermen with dishes like a wood‑fired double‑cut pork chop with loaded sweet potato, fire‑roasted oysters with garlic butter, a smashed double‑patty cheeseburger, and burnt caramel custard alongside cocktails grounded in American classics at 6641 Old Dominion Drive." - Tierney Plumb
