Bo Blair's D.C. Restaurant Empire; Ice Cream Jubilee's Sundae Gift Box

SPRING VALLEY—Jettie's restaurateur Bo Blair talked to the Washington Post about his 20 various restaurants and bars, including his new Navy Yard concept Due South. The Post mentions that Blair is close to signing a lease for Millie's, a spin-off of the original Millie's in Nantucket. It will be located in Spring Valley near American University's law school and 40 families each loaned Blair $25,000 to get the restaurant going. [WaPo]
