This week in food and drink invites D.C. to snack on Hawaiian fare with a Top Chef favorite, learn to make a meatball, or sip on a gin and tonic at one of the city’s favorite Spanish hangouts.

A pair of chefs are re-imagining what casual Asian food can be, and having plenty of fun doing it.

The coming week in D.C. dining brings weekday cocktail specials, new fast-casual Chinese cooking, Bastille Day, and more.
