Noodle rush hour in Rockville

Xi’an Famous Foods opened without any fanfare on Rockville Pike last week — and it didn’t take long for fans of the restaurant’s “hand-ripped” noodles to start lining up at the door. This is the first Maryland location for the family-owned business, which started in New York and gained national attention when it was featured on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Now in the midst of an East Coast/DMV expansion, Xi’an is best known for its noodles but also offers signature dishes like stewed pork burgers, spicy cumin lamb burgers and spicy-and-sour lamb dumplings. You’ll find Xi’an at the Montrose Crossing shopping center, in the former Boardroom Salon space between Rasa and Five Guys.

Maryland "is facing an energy crisis," utility Pepco says

"Maryland is facing an energy crisis," electric utility Pepco warned in a message to customers Thursday. "When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs," the message said, advising that customers "may see changes in your energy bill" as the region enters the winter months. The utility again has attempted to explain that many of the surging costs are not its responsibility, such as the taxes and fees imposed by Montgomery County and Maryland state governments. It specifically mentioned the EmPOWER Maryland fee that the Maryland legislature recently hiked again. Politicians hope that you will think Pepco is charging you these fees, which is part of the impetus for the utility to inform customers to the contrary.
