DOWNTOWN— Washington Post has details on the José Andrés restaurant that would have been at the new Trump Hotel. The chef had considered a Spanish-Japanese concept inspired by a group of Japanese diplomats who settled in Spain in the 17th century. Andrés backed out of the deal last summer following Trump's remarks about Mexican immigrants. The presidential candidate is now suing. [WaPo]
