Five Bites on Friday

This week's Five Bites come from Kate Marshall of Culture Me, DC, which covers everything from ticket giveaways to festivals to restaurant openings.

1. Hamachi with pickled papaya, red onion, shiso and citrus soy at Zengo

2. Fontina risotto cakes at Vermilion

3. Skordalia dip (potatoes and garlic) with pita bread at Zorba's

4. The Q Special pizza at Matchbox

5. Cumin crusted sea scallops with sweet and spicy slaw at Georgia Brown's

Lots of new restaurants are popping up (Oyamel, Central, Il Mulino), with many more expected to open this spring, so keep the Five Bites coming!
