Here’s another piece of mine that ran today on the Express blog, Free Ride. It’s about the expansion plans of Chop’t, the make-your-own-salad Gallery Place lunch-spot with 60+ toppings to choose from.

I’ve started contributing to Free Ride, the blog for the Washington Post Express. My piece out yesterday is the first in a series leading up to the one year anniversary of the D.C. smoking ban. Read it on the Express site — or, if you’d rather stay here, I’ve also got it posted on MZ.com.

And, if you ever need any matchbooks, let me know. I’ve got a couple to spare after reporting this out.
