"JOY by Seven Reasons serves a weekend brunch “yappy hour” menu from chefs Enrique Limardo and William Morles. On Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Chevy Chase hotspot offers a robust menu for all four-legged family members on their outdoor patio. The dog-friendly menu features salmon with rice and vegetables, scrambled eggs with white rice, shredded chicken with sauteed vegetables, and a tropical “pupsicle” (watermelon and mint or strawberry and peanut butter)." - Tierney Plumb
"For Seven Reasons’ playful offshoot in Chevy Chase, chef Enrique Limardo came up with a double-patty ground beef burger between a sesame potato roll. The order comes topped with white cheddar cheese, pickles, dijon mustard, and pineapple-prunes mayo. Over at the West End’s posh Quadrant bar inside the Ritz-Carlton, Limardo sends out worthy all-beef (or Impossible) burgers. Know before you go: There’s also kid-friendly versions available." - Tierney Plumb

"For Seven Reasons’ playful new offshoot in Chevy Chase, Michelin-starred chef Enrique Limardo came up with a homemade double-patty ground beef burger between a brioche bun. The order comes topped with smoked cheddar cheese, crazy mayo, and pickled cucumber. Over at the West End’s posh Quadrant bar inside the Ritz-Carlton, Limardo puts a French spin on an all-beef burger." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"This expansive, new-ish addition to the neighborhood (it opened in October 2022) delivers creative takes on so-called “modern Latin” cuisine that aim to showcase the culinary diversity of Latin America. Tequeños — Venezuelan white cheese stuffed in buttered dough and paired with a sweet-and-sour mango dipping sauce — and fresh ceviche are standout appetizers; be sure to sample the pasticho, a Venezuelan version of lasagna made with bolognese, cotto ham, mozzarella, and mint-basil pesto. Plus, there’s a separate kids menu and happy hour specials Monday through Friday." - Mekita Rivas
