DC All Set to Nosh on Newton’s Noodles

Newton’s Noodles, a new create-your-own noodle restaurant, opens its doors inside the District next week, but Wednesday, the owner held a VIP opening to showcase his Screen Shot 2013-09-19 at 12.47.04 PMDennis Friedman‘s — latest creation in the fast-casual craze.

After establishing Newton’s Table and creating his own dining language, Friedman was inspired to make accessible his famous Newton’s Table Fuzu to fast-paced urbanites in Washington.

To maintain the integrity of the dish (a popular plate at his traditional restaurant Newton’s Table in Bethesda), Friedman hired external consultants to assess the processes, layout, staff, and ingredients in theScreen Shot 2013-09-19 at 12.46.49 PM kitchen. The result?  All are perfectly equipped to replicate the adored Fuzu at lightning speed for DC diners at Newton’s Noodles.

Preview party guests, to include WJLA anchor Leon Harris, Total Wine co-owners David and Anna TroneMamma Lucia co-owner Jimmy Screen Shot 2013-09-19 at 12.46.30 PMFraggoyanis, and artist Yankel Ginzburg, enjoyed Original and Coconut Curry Fuzu, along with wontons, spring rolls, and, of course, Friedman’s wife Patty’s signature rum cake with their chorks (fork chopsticks).

So now the only question is…. how do you Fuzu?
