Looking for a reason to ingest a giant burrito today? Here’s a good one: 59 Chipotles in the metro area are hosting a fundraiser for Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture today from 5 to 8 PM.

If you mention the fundraiser with your order, Chipotle will donate 50 percent of each sale (up to $15,000) to Arcadia. The program will use a portion of the proceeds to create eight scholarships for kids to attend their first Farm Camp.

Arcadia is a non-profit farming and food initiative dedicated to creating a sustainable food system and culture in the DC area. They run an educational farm, a mobile market, a farm to school network and other programs.

Lincoln Restaurant turns three days old today. The McPherson square restaurant pays tribute to our former president and serves plates like oysters, gingerbread and chicken fricassee. Washington Business Journal tells us the decor is inspired by a log cabin and that one million pennies decorate the tile floor. Of course, a Sunday Brunch is coming soon.

Chipotle!

More details are here about Chipotle’s Asian Spin-Off, ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, due to arrive in Dupont Circle this summer.

What’s coming: Fifty years ago when I was a student at University of Maryland-College Park, I fell in love with Chipotle. Only I could get myself into credit card debt by buying one vegetable burrito every day for one year. Anyway, Prince of Petworth hears that Chipotle will open up a series of Asian themed restaurants this year that could be called ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen. Long name. A source tells PoP that ShopHouse has signed a lease in Dupont Circle at 1516 Connecticut Ave next to BGR.

In openings: Tom Sietsema tweets that Penn Quarter’s Hill Country BBQ will start serving its brisket and beans on March 12th. Hello Texas! Just two weeks later on the 28th, Pizzeria da Marco will open in Bethesda. Metrocurean tells us that the 130-seat restaurant will serve traditional Neapolitan pizzas fired in a 4,500-pound wood-burning oven. In what’s prob my fave opening of the month, PoP reports that Paila Chilean Grill and Cafe has opened up at 1424 Park Rd in Columbia Heights. See the menu here.
