A sign on a building at 15th and L streets NW promise a “New Greek Concept,” which is what some people would call a restaurant. (John Kelly/The Washington Post)ColumnistFor the past few months, there’s been a sign on a building at 15th and L streets NW announcing the forthcoming arrival of a “New Greek Concept.” When I first saw the sign — “New Greek Concept: Coming Soon” — I wondered what it could be heralding. The Greeks gave us so many wonderful old concepts — Archimedes’ screw, the Olympic Games, democracy — that I figured a new Greek concept could be a real game-changer. Nearby the sign promising a “New Greek Concept” is one announcing a “New Nicholas Stefanelli Experience.”I didn’t know who Stefanelli was, so I didn’t know what sort of experience he would be likely to provide. So I googled Stefanelli, and it turns out he’s an acclaimed chef of Greek and Italian ancestry.
