LISTICLESThe Washingtonian has a great listicle out today of the seven most overpriced dishes in DC. Of course, there's the $1,000 sundae at Serendipity 3, the $56 lobster tail at the Palm and $12 corn flakes at Blue Duck Tavern — and there's more where that came from. [The Washingtonian]

CHINATOWN—The new lunch menu at Zengo has officially opened under the name of Lunch Bar serving things like noodle and rice bowls as well as sandwich boxes of cubano, banh mi, mahi mahi and other sandwich options. [EaterWire]

DUPONT CIRCLE—Want to get a little closer to DC's official Hottest Chef John Critchley? Well, he's teaching a cheese-making class on Saturday at Urbana's pizza bar. Students will eat cheese and charcuterie while he explains how to make fromage blanc, mozzarella and haloumi. This is the first in a series of cooking classes — in April Critchley will demo lamb and then cocktails in June. The class gets underway at 3 p.m. on Saturday; call 202-956-6650 for reservations.
