Will Artley to “Pop Up” in Del Ray
Posted by Sally Traynham / Tuesday, January 24th, 2012
Last night, Will Artley revealed his most recent plans for his pop-up restaurant in Del Ray on Twitter.
Titled “Project 2312,” the fleeting restaurant will be open from January 30 through February 6 with two seatings per night, one at 6 p.m. and one at 8 p.m., and some flexibility for walk-ins at the bar. The menu will feature Artley’s past favorites in an a la carte menu format with four to five options each for the cold and hot appetizers and five to six entrée items.
To wash down the delicious fare, the restaurant will also be serving craft cocktails, a limited wine selection and Port City beer.
Why 2312? The name stems from the location of its temporary home, 2312 Mount Vernon Avenue where Pork Barrel BBQ is located. Because of Artley’s behind the scenes consulting work for the restaurateurs behind the hog-inspired restaurant, they are letting him use the space next door for one week only.
Artley, who is known for his work at Evening Star Café will be bringing on board a few familiar faces from his old restaurant in addition some help from DC Central Kitchen students.
Don’t be surprised if you see other chefs in the building. He teases that some of his chef friends may stop by in the kitchen to play for an evening.
Want to speak to the man himself? Book a reservation at 703-596-2312, which he will be personally answering.
