Six-year-old U Street gastropub Fainting Goat joins the growing list of D.C. restaurants adding a ghost kitchen to its operations — restaurant extensions with menus that are solely for takeout and/or delivery — to help get it through the slow winter months ahead, and the menu suits the season.

No Soup For You is a winter pop-up ghost kitchen operating out of Fainting Goat’s location that will have a rotating menu of soups, stews, dips, various breads and sandwiches.

The homemade soups and stews sell for between $9 and $14 for 16-ounce servings created by Fainting Goat culinary director Nathan Beauchamp and chef Sam George.

Current offerings include chicken pot pie, roasted tomato, braised short rib bread bowl, French onion soup, shrimp gumbo and Italian white bean soup.

Breads, including baguette, cheddar biscuits and sourdough boule, pair well with the $3 dips that include smoked Gouda cheese, honey and black pepper whipped ricotta and white bean hummus.

The No Soup For You menu is only available for takeout or delivery. Fainting Goat will continue offering its regular takeout and delivery menus.

Fainting Goat, at 1330 U St., NW, is part of the Blagden Hospitality Group. Its other restaurants include Tiger Fork, Calico, Hei Hei Tiger and Hi-Lawn.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
