Eater DC reports that former Top Cheftestapant Mike Isabella has ended his relationship with Bandolero restaurant in DC. Isabella said in a statement given to Eater DC: "I am no longer part of Bandolero ... I am very proud of the modern Mexican concept my team and I put together, but it's not 100% my restaurant and it's time for me to focus on the restaurants where I have full operational control."
