The housing crisis continues to grow in the D.C. area. But there is some potentially good news for renters in the District.A recent request from Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office to move out $20 million from the District’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) into a rapid rehousing program, which helps people experiencing homelessness, was blocked by the D.C.

So, the name of the game is adaptability and streamlining.The short of it is that we make plenty of meat-free sides, including some that are substantial enough to feel entrée-like for the non-meat eaters. And then we make mod...
