New Restaurant 'Dirt' Opening In Ballston: Report

ARLINGTON, VA -- A new restaurant is opening in Ballston with a name that won't exactly make your mouth water.

The Washingtonian reports that Miami-based health-centric dining concept "Dirt" will open this spring in the Ballston Exchange building, joining Shake Shack, We The Pizza, and Cava.

This will be the third location of Dirt, and the first outside Florida. Its founder, Jeff LaTulippe, says that the name "makes you think of food, fresh, and unprocessed," according to the report.

You can get vegan food there, or you can order a cheesesteak -- the difference is that the cheesesteak will be totally organic and locally sourced. The restaurant will also serve beers and have an all-day breakfast menu.

The eatery is gunning for fitness-conscious customers with all sorts of trendy offerings like vegan plant protein powder and acai bowls.
