LOUDOUN COUNTY—A new restaurant is opening at the Lansdowne Resort and Spa. Coton and Rye is coming in September, and it's a new Virginia-themed tavern. They're launching a total of five new food and beverage restaurants this year at the property. Expect dishes like fried chicken and pot pie on the menu. Hopefully folks won't get it mixed up with the soon-to-open D.C. distillery, Cotton & Reed. [EaterWire]
