The Turkey-Stuffed Thanksgiving Croissant Returns to Milk Bar

Turkey treats

Milk Bar is starting November off right by releasing its Thanksgiving croissant back into the wild — or at least for sale in stores and online for $7 all month. Eating like it’s Thanksgiving everyday would not be advisable, but tucking into a flaky pastry stuffed with shredded turkey, house-made cranberry sauce and gravy every once in a while seems like a reasonable proposition.

New face at Mr. Yogato

Fans of funky frozen yogurt rejoice. The Mr. Yogato shop in Dupont, a pioneer in the business of topping soft-serve yogurt with breakfast cereal, has changed hands for $1 as promised.

Fusion failure

The TaKorean location at 1301 U Street NW closed yesterday after fewer than two years of business. Founder Mike Lenard told Washington City Paper the Southeast Asian-Mexican chain will hold onto its locations in Metro Center, Navy Yard, and Union Market and will still search for opportunities to grow in the D.C. market next year.

Free baguettes

Fresh Baguette, which bills itself as the singular authentic French bakery in the D.C. area, opens its first location in Washington today. A Popville reader points out the news about the Maryland-based bakery with locations in Bethesda and Rockville. A call to the new location in Georgetown (1737 S Street NW) confirms the news, and manager Laura Souda says they are handing out free white baguettes all day today.

Goat gears up

The team behind Michelin-starred Tail Up Goat in Adams Morgan is about halfway through a $1.8 million round of fundraising for a new project. Washington Business Journal reports that the owners recently filed notice for the raise with the Securities Exchange Commission under a limited liability corporation called Sons of Anacreon. That name, WBJ speculates, could be the title for a bar project at 1777 Columbia Road NW that the Washington Post reported on in September. [WBJ; WaPo]
