Opening: Taylor Gourmet

Taylor ~ Re-purposed Paint Buckets

Fresh and delicious is the name of the game at Taylor Gourmet. Owners, Casey Patton and David Mazza are excited to announce the opening of their newest restaurant located in the Mosaic District in Merrifield, Va. In celebration of this momentous Virginia opening, they'll be giving away FREE hoagies on Monday, February 4, 2013 from 11:00am - 2:00pm and 6:00pm - 9:00pm (only at the Mosaic location).

Unsatisfied in their DC search for an authentic Italian style hoagie, Philly natives, Patton and Mazza opened their first restaurant in 2008 in DC's "Atlas District" (H & 12th Street). Soon to be located in eight locations throughout the DC metro area, Taylor Gourmet is known for its healthy portions, fresh ingredients and industrialized hip style.

Taylor's unique interior and exterior industrialized designs feature recycled everyday items that have been utilized as light fixtures and paneling.  In their efforts to go Green, they hired Green Living Consulting (GLC), in order to better fulfill their green mission: "To demonstrate environmental and community stewardship by promoting a more sustainable operation that compliments our quality of service and helps foster social and eco-awareness in the community around us."  This has earned them the ranking of "Bronze" level as a certified green business.  Additionally, their fry oil is recycled with Greenlight Biofuels.
