Good Wednesday morning.
It’s official. After a few delays due to paperwork, Sabor’a Street is finally set to hit the road today.
Chef Jorge Pimentel made some minor changes to the original menu Sabor'a released last December, but two items that Latin street food lovers can be sure to expect are arepas and fritas. Sabor’a Street will make its debut in Farragut Square at 11:30 a.m.

Also open: HomeMade Pizza Company
HomeMade Pizza Company has opened its doors to its newest location at 1826 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Glover Park. Yes, the options for pizza are plenty in this town, but for those who are unaware, the Chicago-based pizza company offers an alternative to the standard pies served straight to you out of a restaurant’s brick oven. Instead, patrons can build their own pizzas or select one of the creations off the menu. The cooks will prepare the pizza, and then hand it off to the customer to be baked at home. The company celebrated its debut with a pre-opening party yesterday from 4 to 7 p.m. The festivities will continue today at the same time, and on Feb. 24 from 2 to 7 p.m. This is the company’s sixth location in the D.C. metro area. There are two locations in Virginia and three others in the District.
