Marcus Samuelsson and Established D.C. Chefs Star at This Upcoming Restaurants Showcase | Eater DC

"The James Beard Award–winning Indian standby from Asheville and Atlanta is opening a Union Market location; chef‑restaurateur Meherwan Irani flew up to serve one of his hit sandwiches, the Sloppy Jai: open‑face pav topped with a spicy lamb hash, sweet yogurt, and green chutney—an aromatic bite that pairs perfectly with an ice‑cold beer. The restaurant group is also expanding elsewhere in the District, with a Botiwalla fast‑casual branch slated for Tenleytown." - Emily Venezky
