Dining News: The Rind is 'Off to a Promising Start'
June 10, 2013
The Rind, the new cheese-based hot spot at 1801 L Street, opened a few weeks ago to much buzz. (So much so that the Sac Bee e-mailed out a Breaking News Alert that the restaurant had soft opened a day early.) You can read my Instant Reaction to The Rind.
Now that a couple weeks have passed, the Sac Bee restaurant critic gives us his first impression.
The grilled cheese sandwich and mac and cheese were tasty but could use a touch more sophistication...
The Rind is off to a promising start. With a few price tweaks, attention to detail and a gradual cooking upgrade, this place could become a gem for more of the people more of the time.

Crepe Escape owner discusses possible arson and hope for the future - Three fire investigators are looking into what caused the fire that burned down Freeport Boulevard’s Crepe Escape in the early morning hours of Monday, April 29. Restaurant owner Francesca Zawaydeh said they don’t really know what happened, but said: “Arson is harder to prove than murder. There’s not much hope finding the person who did it.” Zawaydeh feels remorse for not only herself and her family but for the 17 employees who worked at Crepe Escape. “We left 17 people without a job. A lot of them have families. A lot of people who worked for us cried. There were a lot of tears going on … Whoever did this didn’t realize this will leave a giant hole in a lot of people’s lives,” she said. Monica Stark in The Land Park News.
