Week Ahead: a look at what DC restaurants have to offer over the coming week. 

Middle of August means only one thing, Restaurant Week. There's always plenty to be said about the semi-annual event whether you're for or against it. Go make yourself a reservation if it isn't already too late, $35 for three courses. 

Mad Fox Brewing Company finally opens its first DC outpost, in Glover Park no less. The British pub themed restaurant will feature 16 beers on tap and opens its doors on Monday. 

They're being heralded as the next best thing, the kolache. Republic Kolache sets up shop at American Ice Co. on Saturday, both savory and sweet pastries are available - such as jalapeno, egg and cheese or a cherry kolache. 

As if Blue Duck Tavern couldn't get any fancier, it just did. BDT has commissioned its own oyster in collaboration with True Chesapeake Oyster Co., the Blue Chesapeake. The new oyster is available on the dinner menu at $18 for a half-dozen. 

Next Monday, August 24, Doi Moi celebrates its 2nd birthday and will be offering the entire menu at 50% off.

Recipe: Soba Noodles with Chili and Shrimp

Green Tea Soba Noodles

Green Tea Soba Noodles

A couple of weeks ago I was at a friends BBQ where I was asked to bring a "spicy" side, from a host who has a somewhat unhealthy addiction to all things Asian food. All things Asian food. I did a quick Google search and this Food Network recipe appeared, simple enough. It was paired with Omaha steaks our other host decided to grill up (they're a strange pair), and worked well with some roasted vegetable. I decided to make it again at home but this time with shrimp as the protein and a few other tweaks to the noodles, mainly a little more spice.  

The dish is good as a side or a meal (I made a batch for lunches this week), depending on your tolerance to spice you can adjust the amount of serrano peppers you include, seeds or not - but I've found the combination below is a good balance of the dressing and bite of the pepper.
