Citizens for Judicial Fairness Celebrates Introduction of Wheelspin in Delaware's Chancery Court, a Historic Win for Chancery Reform Advocates
'For over a decade, TransPerfect has fought for basic fairness in the Chancery Court. Adopting a randomized 'wheelspin' method to decide what judge is assigned to a case--and taking that power away from the Chancellor's personal discretion--is a massive win for Delawareans and for all businesses who expect and demand impartiality in court.
'By joining the federal system, in which every court in the country uses randomized case assignment, Delaware's Chancery Court is finally leaving behind backroom deals and stepping into good government policies for the 21st century.
'This change may not fix everything, but it's a monumental step for Delaware toward a more predictable, transparent, and fair legal system. I'm beyond grateful to Governor Meyer, Speaker Brown, my TransPerfect colleagues, Citizens for Judicial Fairness and all those who help pushed this reform across the finish line.'
Delaware Speaker of the House Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown added the following statement: 'Fairness and justice are the guiding principles of our judicial system, but we can't fully uphold them by standing still. We have to continually look at how innovation and improved systems can move us forward. Bringing wheelspin, or automated randomized case assignments, to our courts will improve their operations and ensure they remain a beacon of fairness."

All-day NYC café Daily Provisions opens in Dupont Circle next week
Addictive crullers, all-day breakfast sandwiches and roast chicken are landing in Dupont Circle with the opening of Daily Provisions on Monday. Why it matters: Celebrity NYC restaurateur Danny Meyer is betting big on D.C. for his growing café empire. The big picture: Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group spans Shake Shack to Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern. Daily Provisions sits in between — all-day, casual-chic cafés running coffee-to-wine with dine-in and to-go. Dig in: Dupont's location replaces Foxtrot and glams up the space with 65 seats inside, on the patio and at a cozy bar. The menu mirrors NYC favorites — pastries, salads, soups, sandwiches — with a D.C.-only twist: a half-smoke breakfast sandwich with a runny egg and cheese. 🍗 Must-try: The roast chicken. Served as a half, whole or dinner for three with comforting sides. The intrigue: President Zach Koff — who led Shake Shack's growth for over a decade — says D.C. is among the first cities for expansion outside New York, where they have nine cafés.

Daily Provisions Makes Its D.C. Debut With All-Day Fare
is an Editorial Associate at Eater and a proud Washingtonian. She fell in love with food while growing up in Los Angeles, eating plenty of street tacos and Sichuan dishes. Daily Provisions, the cafe chain from NYC-based Union Square Hospitality Group, is making its D.C. debut this month. The fast-casual location will open in Dupont Circle's former Foxtrot storefront on Monday, August 18, at 9 a.m. (1601 Connecticut Ave NW). Going forward, Daily Provisions will serve straightforward, counter-service meals spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. This newest outpost, the eleventh location so far, will sling a special egg and cheese breakfast sandwich that swaps out bacon for a half-smoke patty (made by MeatCrafters in Landover, Maryland) and crispy potatoes. The newer fast-casual chain from Danny Meyer — the billionaire restaurateur behind Shake Shack and high-end NYC restaurants like Eleven Madison Park — has a simple premise. He built the first small outpost next to his beloved Union Square Cafe to fulfill what he calls 'the three Bs': beans (as in coffee), bread, and bird, referring to simple chicken dishes and where to get your eggs in the morning. The breakfast menu is simple, but full of high quality ingredients. Daily Provisions The crullers have developed a dedicated NYC fanbase. Daily Provisions Living barely 50 yards from his own restaurant, Meyer struggled to find a good cappuccino and a simple rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner at home after a long day. That's when he realized that the neighborhood needed an easily accessible carry-out place with quality all-day food and drinks that wouldn't break the bank. Serendipitously, he already had the perfect space. Union Square Cafe had recently moved locations (due to a huge rent hike), and the new space came with a second, smaller restaurant next door, which had slowly become an additional kitchen to help feed the crowds dining at the full-service restaurant. Left with what Meyer calls 'a small box' on the more residential side of Park Avenue South, he dreamed up somewhere to pick up a bacon, egg, and cheese and coffee in the morning; a sandwich or salad for lunch; and a whole rotisserie chicken with vegetable sides for dinner. While Shake Shack sells hardy burgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes that evoke the nostalgia of diners, Daily Provisions would supply simple, delicious food that you could eat for every meal, every day, either at the few indoor tables or taken out. 'Shake Shack is a treat,' Meyer explains. 'Even the most ardent Shake Shack fan is probably not going to have a milkshake every day, maybe not even once a week … that level of frequency is a really important distinction.' This was before 'the delivery revolution,' as Meyers calls it, and when the pandemic hit Daily Provisions' business exploded, while all of his other restaurants were struggling or temporarily closed. Meyer had waited four years to open his second Upper West Side location of Daily Provisions in late 2019, and went on to open multiple locations across New York City after 2020. A half-smoke breakfast sandwich, cruller, and coffee. Daily Provisions With seven locations in the city, this year Meyer turned to the rest of the East Coast, opening a Daily Provisions in Jersey City, Boston's Harvard Square (plus a slated Seaport expansion), and the Dupont Circle corner spot that he chose specifically because it's on 'the more residential' northern side of the circle — unlike the Shake Shack sitting in the bustling business district a few blocks south. The food is still simple at the D.C. outpost. Breakfast includes famous crullers covered in cinnamon sugar, maple, or glaze (called the best doughnut in NYC by the Infatuation); egg and cheese sandwiches under $10 (unless you want the fillings between maple crullers); everything-seasoned croissants stuffed with cream cheese; yogurt and granola; and avocado toast. Coffee ranges from espresso to drip to cold brew, plus matcha or chai lattes. Lunch and dinner highlights include a 'cheffy' salad with white beans, Gruyere cheese, and a jammy egg; a breaded chicken sandwich filled with melted mozzarella, roasted peppers, and Caesar dressing; and even a heavier patty melt with caramelized onions on rye bread. The half or full roasted chickens rule the menu of mains, with optional sides like Brussels sprouts with chile honey, crispy Parmesan potatoes, and a green bean and tomato salad. Classic wines are on the drinks menu, along with a beer list filled with local D.C. breweries, like Honor Brewing, Crooked Run Fermentation, and Aslin Beer Company. The only cocktail on the menu? An espresso martini, of course. Sides range from crispy potatoes to seasonal vegetable salads. Daily Provisions You can carry out the fluffy bread the sandwiches are served on. Daily Provisions Simple salads filled with chicken or kale and sandwiches with tuna or chicken salad. Daily Provisions It's not all about the food (or even the reliable coffee) for Meyer, however. He has always put incredible service at the forefront of his hospitality ventures. Whether his staff is serving a $365 tasting menu or a $7 breakfast sandwich, his employees 'have to be someone who is happier when you're making someone else feel better,' he says. It's hard to hire for that level of hospitality, he explains. While he'd love to see more Daily Provision locations in the DMV in the future, Meyer referenced winning a tennis championship when he talked about possible expansion, saying, 'I better win the first round or I'm out … especially playing on someone else's court.' When Daily Provisions opens on August 18, the first 100 diners in line for coffee and breakfast sandwiches will receive a free cruller.

At Daily Provisions in Harvard Square, counter-service melts for the modern age
The backstory : The first Daily Provisions opened in New York in 2017, a spinoff of Meyer's people-pleasing Union Square Cafe. This is the 10th location — and the first one in Massachusetts. (Another will come to the Seaport next year.) Meyer received a James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur Award in 2005, and his restaurants have won a multitude of outstanding service awards. The Lumberjack sandwich at Daily Provisions. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff What to eat : 'Silver Palate Cookbook'-esque, café cuisine. Breakfast is served all day, with heavier items sharing real estate with sweets and baked treats. Daily Provisions is known for maple crullers, and you can enjoy them as a husky Lumberjack breakfast sandwich with eggs and cheese ($13.50) or a la carte ($4.95). There's the requisite avocado toast ($11) with accompaniments ranging from smoked salmon to eggs, or a savory-sweet everything croissant piped with cream cheese ($5.95). Sandwiches are available after 10:30 a.m. They're simple and satisfying: Get the tuna melt ($13.50), a polished affair — no diner this — with a subdued amount of mayo, griddled sourdough just buttery enough to taste melty, not greasy, coated with a thin layer of American cheese. Advertisement The Tuna Melt sandwich and a Iced Matcha Lemonade. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff The rest of the sandwich menu veers picnic chic: BLTs, cured ham and cheddar, herb chicken salad, chickpea veggie, with healthy sides like tomato and green bean salad ($9) and snap peas with quinoa ($9). Advertisement My dining companion enjoyed a bountiful 'chefy' salad ($16.50, but big enough for two), with roast chicken, jammy hard-boiled eggs, marinated white beans, cucumber, gruyère, and breadcrumbs. 'Eggs were indeed jammy and really flavorful, which doesn't happen when they're overcooked. All the other ingredients felt fresh and did not give the vibe of having been sitting in a fridge bin somewhere. Chicken in particular was tender and gently shredded, not the squeaky cubes you often see in salad. Little crunchy topping and a really good, creamy dressing was light and not gloppy, kicked up with dill, clearly house-made,' she reflected after taking the rest home — but noting that, for $16.50, bread or chips might have made the salad feel more like a meal. (The dressing is DP's version of Thousand Island.) You can also order dinner-ish main courses here, though the space has a lunchtime, benches-and-laptops vibe. A roast chicken dinner, big enough for three, comes with roasted carrots, Brussels sprouts, and crispy potatoes ($45). Order it to-go, and pass it off as your own at your next small dinner party. The 'Chefy' Salad at Daily Provisions. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff What to drink : A wide assortment of caffeine and/or alcohol, from salted caramel cold brew ($5.75) to matcha lemonade ($6) to Beaujolais by the glass ($9) or bottle ($32). You'll order at a counter, but a server will deliver your goods. While you wait, take a moment to appreciate the local touches, such as a brick salvaged from the late, lamented Pit down the block, marked with a plaque and perched on a shelf that looks straight out of a Restoration Hardware showroom. An authentic brick from 'The Pit, Harvard Square" is on display at Daily Provisions. Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff The takeaway : Once upon a time, The Tasty was Harvard Square's all-hours gathering spot for counter-service sandwiches, sweets, and melts. Down the street, Daily Provisions is the 2025 version: healthier, cleaner, dressier. Still tasty, though. Advertisement Kara Baskin can be reached at
