Thip Khao Opening Pushed Back; Beer and Cookie Pairings

PENN QUARTER—The Going Out Guide finds a solid mushroom burger and fried pickles at the new Plan B Burger Bar. But they're on Team Spear? Say it isn't so. [GoG]

TREND WATCH— Dogs are the new treasured customer at many of D.C.'s restaurants and bars, Young & Hungry reports. When you have dog owners saying things like, "We do everything with him...We go on hikes, he does pilates," perhaps it isn't surprising. [WCP]

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS— Though soft opening events already began this week, Thip Khao won't be formally open for awhile longer. PoPville reports the official opening has been pushed back to December because the chef has to travel to Laos unexpectedly. [PoP]

BEER HERE— Flying Dog Brewery is pairing up with Otterbein's Bakery to create beers that pair well with cookies. [BM]
