Mount Vernon's lost restaurants and Top 10 Wednesday

Ixia2.jpg

 

I was tearing my hair out while I was writing today's Table Talk column.

The news had just broken about the Brass Elephant being for sale, but it wasn't clear whether the Sun was going to write a news story about it or wait until there was some real news, like a buyer. So I didn't know how much to say in my Table Talk lead. (The food section prints on Monday, and I knew I wouldn't be around on Monday to make any last-minute corrections.) ...

I ended up writing more about Ixia because I realized my blog post didn't convey my sadness at its closing as much as I felt. 

At least I had some openings to report, two chain -- sorry, upscale group -- restaurants in Annapolis.

Anyway, today's Top 10 is last week's Lunch Spots for City Jurors, one of our more specialized topics. But I always enjoy seeing what comments the editors saw fit to print.

Yep, we're just famous in Michigan for our sushi.
