Openings
Adam Sobel, executive chef at Bourbon Steak, has debuted a new menu, which embraces spring and summer flavors while retaining all of chef Michael Mina's signatures, such as butter-poached steaks, lobster potpie and black truffle mac ‘n' cheese. Sobel not only showcases striped bass with a saké clam broth or Virginia swordfish with baby leeks, he plays with classics, such as his take on a Philly cheesesteak: beef tartare topped with aged provolone and crispy potato skins. Accompanying Sobel's spring menu is a new dessert menu by pastry chef Brenton Balika. Balika worked with Sobel at Bradley Ogden and Charlie Trotter's. He was most recently sous chef at Rick Moonen's RM Seafood at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Bourbon Steak, Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC, 2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20007, 202-944-2026.
Each Sunday evening from 5 p.m.-11 p.m., Masa 14 offers a global favorite, lechon asado, or roast pig, priced at $25 per person.

Masa 14, 1825 14th St. NW, Washington, DC 20009, 202-328-1414.
