Premier food & lifestyle collaborative
When Tony Tomeldon of the Pug and John Solomon of Solly’s teamed up with Chef Shannan Troncoso-former Executive Chef of Matchbox Capitol Hill-to open Brookland’s Finest Bar & Kitchen, I was excited. When I finally went and noticed an open and inviting restaurant, I was thrilled. And when I tasted […]
DCity Smokehouse just celebrated its 1 year anniversary, and I was lucky enough to join them to celebrate. I love me some BBQ, and they pulled out all the stops bringing out all the best to sample: pork Belly, pork spare ribs, chopped pork, brisket smoked overnight for 15 hours, […]
Opened in 2013 and tucked in a non-descript nook just behind the convention center – not quite Shaw, but certainly not downtown – Table has been wowing guests for almost two years. The clean modern exterior is a stark contrast to the older row houses along side the restaurant with […]
Often overlooked with the onslaught of new establishments crowding out the popular 14th Street corridor, those in the know, know that Saint Ex is a neighborhood favorite with amazing food. When we’re craving something hearty for brunch (and an outdoor patio when it’s warmer), we head to Saint Ex and […]
We love Bistro du Coin with it’s high ceilings, traditional French/Belgian dishes, and large interior. However dinner and brunch can get very crowded with their ambiguous reservation policy. That’s okay. When you’re walking around Dupont, just left Kramer Bookstore, or are making your way from Logan Circle to Georgetown, stop […]
It’s no secret that famed DC restaurateur Ashok Bajaj is a genius. However before Rasika and Rasika West End, there was The Bombay Club. The traditional Indian restaurant with an almost Colonial English environment – high-end cloth linens, fine silver and dining china, a seemingly endless number of staff always […]
This Southeast Asian hot spot on 14th Street NW is a gem. Doi Moi has a clean, all-white decor and it’s only offset by the colorful conversations and bursts of brightness coming off the plates. The menu is large, all items traditional and many titles of the dishes are not […]
Eric and Ian Hilton, Washington, DC’s very own restaurant superstars, open Chez Billy Sud in Georgetown today replacing the old Cafe La Ruche. The Southern France influenced restaurant gets its name “Sud” from its location to the south of the original Chez Billy in Petworth. Why Georgetown? “Around the city, […]
Recently Taylor Gourmet announced they were bringing cheesesteaks to all of their locations. Using prime ribeye from a Philadelphia butcher that is sliced specifically for Taylor Gourmet before it is vacuum sealed and shipped to all their locations, owner Casey Patton sought to provide a unique and creative experience for […]
When Taylor Gourmet came to DC, the sandwich/hoagie/grinder game was changed forever. Fresh ingredients, quick service, and chicken cutlets? Yeah, total game changer. But co-founder Casey Patten and his team aren’t ones to just call it quits with a standard menu. Taylor Gourmet launched their fall/winter menu earlier in September […]
Le Diplomate has some fantastic things on the menu. Their half roasted chicken with au jus, the peppery steak au poivre, and not to mention a phenomenal burger – you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. However their plats du jour, or plates of the day, should […]
If you’re craving great spreads, warm bread, oven spit-roasted meats, seafood and more, all with a Greek inspired flare, then head to Kapnos. Celebrity Chef Mike Isabella struck gold by bringing a high-end twist to Greek cuisine, lacking on the ever popular U Street / 14th Street corridor. The small […]
