What’s the Story, Morning Glory?
Morning Glory Confections Artisan Brittle

Your idea of morning glory? Coffee and a bran muffin. (Let’s not go into detail.)

One bite of Morning Glory Confections may have you rethinking things. The artisan brittle is handmade in small batches out of top-notch, natural ingredients.

Creator Max Lesser has perfected five flavors of the stuff: chai tea and cashew; cocoa nib, coffee bean, and pecan; fleur de sel and peanut; Indian curry and pistachio; and New Mexico chili and pumpkin seed. The sure sign of his success lies in the taste — you can decipher every single flavor in each bar.

The treats are available for purchase in two- or five-ounce bags.

And sure beat your usual morning grind.

A Hard Inox Life Inox Restaurant Opens We’re receiving reports of high rates of Inoxication. Details are still coming in, but early studies suggest the cause to be overindulgence in new Tysons Corner restaurant Inox, opening today. Participants report temptations of gourmet American fare, including truffled patty melts and Berkshire pork prepared two ways and served over black trumpet mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. Menu items are also being paired with an impressive array of wines from long cellars throughout the space. Keep in mind that many are caught unaware as they lounge in the velvet booths beneath delicate Calder-like light fixtures. The cozy lounge and lengthy bar will offer alternative shelter. We recommend immediate Inoxulation. Inox, 1800 Tysons Boulevard, Tysons Corner (703-790-4669 or inoxrestaurant.com).
