"A thick slab Nueske’s bacon adds heft to a classic, well-executed wedge with crunchy radishes, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, and refreshing iceberg lettuce at this Mt. Vernon Triangle joint from the family behind Baked & Wired. La Betty has also adapted to the pandemic by creating a takeout-friendly menu full of roasted chicken, schnitzel sandwiches, and quesadillas. Order for pickup here. — G.H." - Elsie Yang
"Architect-turned-restaurateur Tony Velazquez designed the minimalist comfort food spot (get the schnitzel and the cheesecake) full of black paint, amber wood, and homey rugs. The tastefully restrained atmosphere helps make a dramatic art piece and the dynamic light fixture full of honey-colored orbs stand out. A neon sign out front and a square porthole make the wide front door one of the coolest in town. — G.H." - Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
"La Betty, the first full-service restaurant from the family that brought D.C. the Baked & Wired bakery, offers a menu that includes chicken schnitzel, deviled eggs, miniature corn dogs, wedge salad with Nueske's bacon, braised purple cabbage, twice-cooked potatoes, and currywurst with links sourced from Stachowski’s Market. Beverages include beer such as Kolsch and schwarzbier, and desserts feature a flourless chocolate cake with Kahlua whipped cream and a New York-style cheesecake with blueberry sauce." - Gabe Hiatt
