“Today, Chef Michael Rafidi, winner of this year’s James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Chef, announces a July 9 opening date for the Union Market location of YELLOW, his lauded Levantine café known for pastries, mezze, wood-fired pita sandwiches, and specialty coffee. Located at 417 Morse St. NE, YELLOW’s second location will feature 60 seats in a 3,500-square-foot space enhanced with an open kitchen, pastry case, and carryout window.
Just as the Pizza menu is only available in Georgetown, when it launches later this summer, “All the Kebabs” will be a unique offering for Union Market available for walk-ins and reservation seating from 5pm to 10pm. With the charcoal grill at its heart, highlights will include steel-skewered delights like leg of lamb with dill yogurt marinade, bavette steak with chermoula yogurt, grape leaf swordfish, and amba chicken with fermented mango.
