"In other ARP news, Joe Theismann’s Restaurant is undergoing renovations. The restaurant group bought an equity stake in the 33-year-old business from the legendary Redskins quarterback last year. The 7,800-square-foot steakhouse next to the King Street Metro will add a new island bar with 20 draft lines. Steak-and-burger mainstays will be joined by newer items like pan-seared salmon, poke bowls, Southern fried chicken salad, and bottomless brunch bars. Theismann’s will stay open during its months-long overhaul, operating as a pop-up bar called JT that serves happy hour and a pared-down menu of core dishes. Renovations are projected to finish by mid-September, lining up with kickoff of the NFL’s 100th season and Theismann’s 70th birthday." - Tierney Plumb
