Eric Ripert's Westend Bistro Previews New Spring Menu

Chef Eric Ripert has been making national news lately with his critique of colleague Gordon Ramsay's kitchen demeanor, but his DC outpost has got a scoop of its own with a new spring menu on the way. And change looks good. According to We Love DC, additions to the Westend Bistro's spring menu include chicken-fried pork belly, triggerfish served over soba noodles in pho broth and a braised short rib cooked sous-vide for 16 hours then glazed with a sorghum-tobacco sauce. Chef Joe Palma, alum of Ripert's New York flagship Le Bernardin, also has a mushroom truffle grits side dish in store for diners.
