True to rumors, Chipotle has revealed that the Asian concept it’ll debut in D.C. this summer will be called ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen — as the name implies, it’s inspired by the casual family restaurants found in homes throughout Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. A press release informs that “The ShopHouse menu will pair the bold and complex flavors of southeast Asia with fresh, sustainably raised ingredients; grilled and braised meats, a variety of fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, spicy sauces, and an array of garnishes. Customers will move along a service line and customize their meal according to flavor preference and diet, in a format similar to the one that has become the hallmark of Chipotle’s success.” So, kind of like Sensebowl!
