        <content>At long last, Chef Gillian Clark (formerly of Colorado Kitchen) has opened her new Southern-influenced restaurant space in the rennovated post office in Forest Glen.  Corner of Forest Glen and Capital View.   For now, due to county zoning glitches, the menu remains carry-out only and no alcohol (so it would be very useful to have friends in the neighborhood, particularly if they have a well-stocked bar...ahem...)

The basement pub isn't open yet, but the carry out was doing a brisk business today:  sandwiches, collard greens, fried chicken, fish tacos, lentil soup, chili, beef stew, mac-n-cheese.

      <content>They can accommodate sitting eaters now.  That is not the issue.  According to a report by Tim Carman in CityPaper (Dec. 8, 2008 issue), they learned late in the game that Montgomery County requires them to have at least 30 parking spaces for a sit-down operation, and they only have seven.  They're trying to work it out with the county bureaucracy now.

      <content>Give it some time - there are still some cooking kinks being worked out, and a liquor license to be had, and a pizza oven to be fired up.  Unless having a picnic in the car in this weather appeals.</content>
