Ed Witt, the New York City chef who came to DC over a year ago to serve as chef for a new Turkish restaurant being planned in Georgetown, finally got into the kitchen when Morso opened late last month. Just weeks after Morso’s opening, however, Chef Witt has left that post; Morso is announcing that it is temporarily closed, although its take-out location, Morso Express, is still in business. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Chef Witt will be joining Knightsbridge Restaurant Group, but his tweet indicates that an official announcement will be coming soon.
DCist is reporting that the D.C. outpost of Philadelphia/Orlando/Atlantice City Cuban restaurant Cuba Libre, to be located at 9th and H Streets NW, is postponing its opening, originally slated for June, til September, despite the fact that the restaurant’s website still says Spring 2010 opening.
Roberto Donna pled guilty last week to felony embezzlement in connection with his now closed restaurant Bebo, City Paper’s Tim Carman reports.

I tried Moreso’s takeout joint (next door) last night. I got the chicken flatbread, which is like an open calzone, and is about $8. It was good (and fresh), but not great. My friend’s Turkish burger looked good.
They sell various Italian sodas, and the name is Italian…but the food is Turkish.
