Inside Elena James, Chevy Chase’s New All-Day Venture From Familiar D.C. Names | Eater DC

"Originally conceived by the same team as a more casual, all-day cafe component of their small D.C. empire, this Logan Circle restaurant became a higher-end, special-occasion-coded spot as it developed. The owners originally planned to have an all-day cafe here and, during the pandemic, learned how to adapt to to-go orders — lessons that later informed menu and service choices at their new neighborhood project. A handful of pastas first served at this location influenced the new restaurant’s array of five pasta dishes, including items like pesto-drenched ricotta gnocchi." - Emily Venezky
