Dirty Habit, nestled in the heart of Penn Quarter, officially launches a fresh fall dinner menu today. Celebrating autumn’s harvest and the colorful bounty of fall, the new dishes from Executive Chef Kyoo Eom offer stunning presentations and unique applications of seasonal ingredients from around the world.
