It seems Penn. Ave might turn entirely into Chef Spike joints. [Young and Hungry]

Y&H just obtained a copy of a letter from Mendelsohn’s sister and spokesperson,Micheline Mendelsohn, to First Lady Michelle Obama, a sometime Good Stuff patron, which dishes that another restaurant is in the works right next door to Good Stuff and Mendelsohn’s other Capitol Hill joint, We, The Pizza. This one’s apparently a steak frites place.

According to the letter:

“…because we’re not busy enough, Spike and I are taking over a space next door to We, The Pizza and opening a steak-frites concept. This summer you’ll be able to enjoy some authentic french food on Capitol Hill as Spike’s professional training was at Les Crayeres, a Relais & Châteaux in France and he spent many years at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon restaurant in Napa Valley.”
