Fuego Cocina y Tequileria is the latest incarnation from the DC food powerhouse Passion Food Restaurant Group who is behind the largely successful DC Coast, Acadiana, and District Commons just to name a few. So I was thrilled to hear about their new venture into traditional Mexican cuisine. I was, […]
It’s finally here – Fall. That magical Season where DC residents are able to breathe a sigh of relief from wearing a suit in 100 degree weather, ruining that new dress shirt in 110 degree non-air-conditioned metro break-downs, and according to my female friends, boob-sweat. Apparently this is a thing […]
Perhaps the simplest preparation for delicious Fall root vegetables: fried root vegetable chips. Why? Because it’s Fall, have you not been paying attention? No more pumpkin beer for you. What you need: a pot, some oil, some root veggies, some spices. Seriously this is really easy. Grab some spices from […]
While it might not be as catchy as the original “Monster Mash,” it’s sure to quell the fall hungry scaries and comfort whatever else may ale you. Smashed root vegetables are like mashed potatoes but they are heartier and definitely have more texture. But hey, they’re fancier than mashed potatoes […]
District Commons is one of the more recent creations of the blockbuster food powerhouse Passion Food Restaurant Group. The same group is behind the clean, downtown seafood spot DC Coast; the very upscale version of creole, cajun, New Orleans inspired cuisine at Acadiana; and the spicy, Latin-American inspired chic staple […]
First and foremost, I love New Orleans. The food, the culture, the food, the rich history, the people, did I mention the food? Cajun, creole, Southern…call it what you will, the food is damn good in the part of the country. Access to affordable, fresh seafood certainly helps. But it’s […]
Chic trendy atmosphere, clean lines, no noise decor, and no nonsense seafood. Expertly crafted cocktails. Perfectly shucked oysters. The newly opened Hank’s Oyster Bar Capitol Hill location had me leaving the comforts of my staple places and venturing into the unknowns of whatever non-NW is, not once, but twice, and […]
Who doesn’t love a Bloody Mary. Perfect for morning tailgating, prepping food for a party, or to enjoy with brunch. The history of the Bloody Mary is pretty incomplete. A man by the name of Fernand Petiot claimed that he invented the cocktail in the 1920s while working at Harry’s […]
On a small, quite corner in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, surrounded by Federal-style row-houses, and elite million dollar homes, lies a unpretentious deli providing aged steaks, homemade sausages, prosciutto, and pate, quality offal meats, and more. This mecca of meat, a pantheon of prosciutto, a sultan house of […]
“…basic cooking skills are a virtue, that the ability to feed yourself and a few others with proficiency should be taught to every young man and woman as a fundamental skill, should become as vital to growing up as learning to wipe one’s own ass, cross the street by oneself, […]
The recently opened Del Frisco’s Grille off Pennsylvania Avenue in downtown DC is off to a solid start. As with any newly opened restaurant, there are still a few kinks to be worked out in the service but the food was solid, and the appetizers were great, but they seem […]
Summer is here, gardens are blooming, and day-long outdoor engagements and late night outdoor parties are in full swing. If you’re running around like most of us, there’s a chance that the fridge is looking less stocked than usual, and you definitely don’t remember promising you’d host brunch when you […]
