Openings: Spider Kelly's, Langston, Nando's

Check out the latest additions to Metrocurean's New Openings list, including Nando's Peri-Peri (819 Seventh St. NW), quite possibly the most attractive fast food chain I've seen, pictured at right; Southern comfort food haven Langston Bar and Grill (1831 Benning Rd. NE); and casual bar and restaurant Spider Kelly's (3181 Wilson Blvd., Arlington).

DC's second Nando's Peri-Peri is planned for 1210 18th St. NW.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty.

The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
