The next location of Duke's Grocery​ will be a pub-style restaurant this fall in Montgomery County, the first Maryland site for the chain.

Deb Belt, Patch Staff

POTOMAC, MD — The sixth location of Duke’s Grocery will open a pub-style restaurant this fall at Potomac Village Shopping Center in Potomac, according to media reports.

The Duke’s at 10128 River Road will take over a space last occupied by Lock 72 Kitchen & Bar, which closed last fall, WTOP reported. Look for indoor and outdoor dining options at the Potomac Duke’s, plus a coppertop bar.

Duke’s restaurants serve weekend brunches, including a “proper English Brekkie,” with banger sausage and tinned beans, WTOP said. Its lunch and dinner menu includes fish and chips, white truffle mac and cheese, and its Proper Burger, ranked as one of the D.C. area’s best burgers, with two patties, gouda cheese, charred red onion and sweet chili sauce.

The restaurant's founders describe their venues as a "nod to the ubiquitous corner cafés, bodegas and curry joints of the East London neighborhoods of Shoreditch and Hoxton, our culinary inspiration is as diverse as these brilliantly working class parts of the English capital. East London's funky juxtaposition of classic greasy spoons, hole-in-the-wall ethnic spots and ultra sleek avant-garde restaurants has created a food scene that is truly unique."

Other locations are in the Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom and Navy Yard areas of Washington, D.C., with a Duke's Counter sister location in Woodley Park / National Zoo.

The 32-seat dining room and separate 14-seat bar area will likely offer standard Duke’s Grocery items including sandwiches, salads, seasonal beverages, local beers and wine, MOCO 360 said.

“Our goal everywhere we operate is to be fully engaged with the local community,” Duke’s Grocery Managing Partner Daniel Kramer told MOCO 360. “We are very much looking forward to being a part of Potomac Village.”

BETHESDA, MD — DIG, a fast-casual restaurant, held a grand opening ceremony on Saturday for its newest location in Bethesda. The grand opening celebration marked the brand’s first restaurant in Maryland.

“Manna is excited to partner with DIG to welcome them to Montgomery County,” Manna Food Center’s Director of Development and Communications Mardia Dennis said. "We share similar values understanding that food builds community, and we look forward to further collaboration as we share good food."

DIG also held a “See What’s Cooking” day on Friday to give the community a chance to preview the restaurant at no charge. Guests were encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to Manna Food Center.

Snowfall in Maryland is expected to total between 1 and 3 inches, with snow starting late Friday evening, according to weather forecasters.

MARYLAND — Meteorologists are tracking a weather system that could kick off the long Presidents Day weekend with accumulating across most of Maryland.

The snow in Maryland is expected to total between 1 and 3 inches, with snow starting late Friday evening. Most of the snow should end by noon on Saturday, according to forecasters.

The accumulating snow is expected to fall even in Southern Maryland, not just the central and western portions of the state. The forecast for snow Friday night follows measurable snow in some areas of Maryland on Tuesday.

Friday will begin with temperatures reaching 48 degrees. Most of the snow will fall in central Maryland between 10 p.m. on Friday and 4 a.m. on Saturday, the National Weather Service said.

AccuWeather said Baltimore and other Mid-Atlantic areas will receive 1 to 3 inches of snow, while areas toward the south near Richmond could see mixed precipitation.

"Any sustained period of moderate snow would be enough to cool temperatures to 32 degrees or below and support accumulating snow, especially since the air overhead would be well below freezing," the Capital Weather Gang forecast said. "But if the snow is too light or intermittent, then temperatures could remain a degree or two warmer and limit accumulation potential."

WJZ News said most snow will be over before noon on Saturday. "While this won't be a major storm, it could lead to some slippery travel early Saturday on side and secondary roadways. Melting Saturday afternoon should help rapidly improve travel conditions," WJZ News said.

WBAL-TV meteorologist Tony Pann said he's keeping an eye on the snow coming Friday night as temperatures will be under freezing, so accumulation will be possible on roads.

"It looks like a nice swath of snow is going to come across the Baltimore metro Friday night into early Saturday morning. I think it will be mostly gone by 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning on Saturday," he said.

The clouds are expected to move out, with sunshine making an appearance Saturday afternoon. Conditions on Sunday in Maryland will also be sunny, with high temperatures in the 40s, according to forecasters. On Presidents Day, temperatures are forecast to reach the low-50s, with lots of sunshine.

Here is a look at the forecast for Maryland through the weekend from the National Weather Service:

Wednesday night: Clear, with a low around 32.

Thursday: Increasing clouds, with a high near 51. Light and variable wind becoming south 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph.

Thursday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 38. Breezy, with a south wind 10 to 20 mph becoming west after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph.

Friday: Sunny, with a high near 48. Northwest wind 9 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.

Friday night: A chance of rain and snow before 10 p.m., then snow likely between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., then snow likely, possibly mixed with rain after 4 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33.

Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 43. Breezy.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 29.

Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 47.
