The Washington City Paper reports big news for H Street NE today: Whole Foods is coming. The grocery chain plans to build a 39,000 square-foot store below a new apartment complex on H between 6th and 7th streets NE, where Murry's grocery store now sits. It's expected to open in the fall of 2016.
Y&H happened to ask self-described tavern magnate Joe Englert, an owner of several H Street establishments including Rock & Roll Hotel, Granville Moore's, The Pug, and H Street Country Club, about the prospect of the yuppie grocer coming to H Street NE a few weeks ago. Here's a portion of the transcript from our conversation, beginning with Englert's feelings about the corridor:
JE: What I sort of like about H Street is I think it’s not baked yet, you know what I mean? We don’t know what it’s going to be yet. You know what 14th Street is going to be. You know what Dupont is. You don’t know what H Street is going to be yet. Hopefully, it just remains strange and sort of uncompleted all the time, I think that would be really good. I usually like people on H Street a lot. I think there’s a real openness and small town sort of atmosphere about it. And I hate the word diverse, but there’s a mixed bag of people...It’s just not done yet. It’s not smooth, slick. It’s just not perfect and brand name yet. It’s not Georgetown… It’s not really corporate.
Y&H: So let me ask you this: If and when Whole Foods comes to H Street, is that progress or a sign of the yuppie apocalypse?
JE: Well, it’s sad in some ways.
Y&H: It would be sad?
JE: It’s good if you’re looking at it from a holistic point of view. Maybe ultimately it’s good because the schools would improve for the smaller kids. More money into the neighborhood perhaps means more empowered people would advocate for better schools and better education. That’s a good thing. But the sameness and the cookie-cutter branding I think would be depressing…Right now, you know you’re on H Street because it’s unbaked, it’s unfinished, it’s not slick, it’s still sort of rough. It would be a shame if it’s just like Columbia Heights.
Y&H: So you wouldn’t go buy your organic quinoa there?
JE: God, I don’t think the food’s good there. Besides nut and cheese, I don’t know why anybody would go to Whole Foods.

DELTRON 3030: The supergroup, made up like Voltron by members Dan the Automator, Kid Koala, and Del the Funkee Homosapien, bring the perfect blend of pop, polish, sci-fi, and WTF to hip-hop. Their new album, Event II, is a high-concept work that Del has called more a rock opera than rap release. "Melding of the Minds" is a funky jam with special guest Zack De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine lending his voice. Dan the Automator had this to say about his inclusion:
"Zack was a logical choice to be on this song because of the spirit of the record. He's iconic in his political leanings. He brought along a feeling of tension, one that exists between the little man and big corporations and government."

These caramels really evoke the essence of fall. The earthiness of pumpkin, softened with cream, permeates each chewy bite, followed by a whisper of spice, and the delicate crunch of fleur de sel is a clever detail, offsetting the sweetness of the candy. The toasted pepitas are addictive even on their own (make sure to save some for the bottom of the baking dish!); they give each of the finished caramels a beautifully lacquered, dusty green cap.
Makes 64, 1-inch caramels

Renowned car customizer Brabus unveiled their latest project, the beastly Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG B63S-700 6×6. The off-road machine delivers a whopping 700 hp and 708 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to the 5.5-liter, twin turbo-charged V8 engine. The massive six-wheeler weighs in at just under four tons yet can still get to 62 mph in 7.4 seconds, in large part due to the new turbochargers and exhaust system.
Aesthetic details include plenty of carbon fiber and chrome accents found throughout the body, while the interior receives a fiery red Mastik leather/Alcantara combination. Like most car news this week, the monster is expected to be officially unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. No definite pricing as of yet but you can be sure to drop well into the six-figure range for this custom job.
