Bethesda Avenue CHOPT closed this afternoon for "power issues"

CHOPT Creative Salad Co. at 4766 Bethesda Avenue is temporarily closed for the afternoon. The restaurant says the closure is due to "power issues." Some residents of downtown Bethesda have reported their lights flickering over the last hour. If you still need a salad, Sweetgreen is down the street, and CHOPT's other Bethesda location at the Wildwood Shopping Center is open. CHOPT's neighbor, Paul Bakery, permanently closed yesterday for unrelated reasons.

Chopt is "now chopping" across from Bethesda Row. The salad eatery has opened in the ground floor of the Flats at Bethesda Avenue luxury apartments, on the side of the building that faces the Capital Crescent Trail.

Along with the regular menu, they also have a set of Destination Salads that change every 30 days. So you have only a few more days to try out the featured Destination Salads for this month.

The Chopt menu also features salad sandwiches.
