"Butter Me Up, formerly a ghost kitchen offshoot of HalfSmoke, is transitioning to a dedicated restaurant space at 1409 T Street NW. The new location will feature an expanded menu with breakfast tacos, acai bowls, and fried Oreo pancakes, alongside a drink menu with fresh juices, kombucha, coffee, and tea from local Black-owned businesses. The restaurant will incorporate local ingredients and offer playful, meme-inspired menu names. The move addresses the overwhelming demand that outgrew its initial kitchen setup and aims to capitalize on delivery and pickup services." - Adele Chapin
