Several months ago, readers learned about the opening of a sparkling new restaurant in Vienna, Blend 111. With its new chef, Joshua Dixon, the classy eatery has tweaked its standard menu to add a few wintery offerings: for example, the seasonal arepas venezolanas (a Latino sandwich on cornmeal flatbread) is now tinted pink by seasonal beets, making a charming treat; the once-special bouillabaisse is now on the standard menu and is an ideal seafood-centric offering; and the French omelette with its melted cheese filling is a perfect lunch/brunch dish for cold (or hot) weather.
