February was a newsy month in the Bethesda food scene. Patch broke the news this month that Harris Teeter has signed a lease to be the grocery tenant at a new mixed-use development at 8300 Wisconsin Ave. The new grocery store is expected to open in 2015.

Also this month, we reported that Dunkin' Donuts is closing its Bethesda Avenue location after Bethesda Row management company Federal Realty did not renew their lease, which expires in May. The coffee shop has two new downtown Bethesda locations in the works.

There was more news out of Friendship Heights from celebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio, Bethesda favorite Persimmon re-opened with a new look, Aroma Espresso debuted at the Montgomery Mall, and the new Prohibition-style bar and grill Brickside opened on Cordell.

It's widely known that Dunkin' Donuts is regrouping since legislation was passed to require four hours of nutritional education and registration before buying donuts or other potentially lethal junk foods. Furthermore, you would need to obtain a license issued by the state police and be fingerprinted. Purchases will be limited to a half-dozen at a time to curtail purchases of donuts by those with the intent of supplying donuts to unlicensed individuals or the banned morbidly obese.
