It is routine for me to base my travel itineraries around my meals and the top places to eat. It should be mandatory for anyone traveling to Austin to do the same. I just spent a long weekend there and hardly got to try all the places on my list, but […]
Rise and Shine with Brookland’s Finest Breakfast One of my favorite neighborhood eateries, Brookland’s Finest, has launched its first ever weekday breakfast menu! From 7-11am Monday through Friday, you can stop in and get your morning started right with everything from seasonal omelettes and waffles to bagels with lox spread or […]
There’s no shortage of great spots to get your lunch on in Penn Quarter. But there may only be one where you can have one of DC’s best burgers, fresh poke, and giant, fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies all from the same menu. The Hungry Lobbyist team headed over to new-ish New […]
The only thing better than having a bloody mary to cure a hangover, is having several. This weekend’s DC Bloody Mary Fest was the ultimate Sunday Funday. Hosted in the awesome space that is Blind Whino, twelve area restaurants served up their most creative, best selling bloodys. Each festival-goer was […]

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch staples is the frittata – a fluffy egg pie that can be stuffed with any ingredient combination you can dream up. Forget making omelettes to order or poaching eggs for a crowd, just pop this baby in the oven and get your mimosa on with […]
This past weekend I decided to take a trip down to the National Harbor for dinner. The Old Hickory Steakhouse has a new February menu and they wanted us to preview the new dishes and wine pairings. As a DC local, I have sadly not spent much time in the National […]
The charming French-American food that is often as whimsical as it is delicious served at Convivial reflects the personality of it’s owner and Executive Chef Cedric Maupillier. Charming yet sincere; presenting good food with humility. A change from his first solo restaurant, Mintwood Place, the food at his Shaw hotspot feels […]
I’m going to keep this short simple: VIRGINIA IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. Hop in an uber, grab a car, or metro across the river (heck you can even bike), and you will expand your dining options ten-fold…And then you will be disappointed that you didn’t do it sooner. Of […]
This is a Public Service Announcement: the Gryphon has brunch. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Dupont, the Gryphon is located just south of Dupont Circle on a bustling stretch of Connecticut Avenue. Unlike the college-y vibes of Mad Hatter and Lucky Bar, the atmosphere of the Gryphon […]
In a truly shocking turn of events, the weather gods smiled down upon the District for Memorial Day Weekend. I spent a breezy Sunday morning exploring neighborhoods all over DC, stopping only for an iced coffee and a few farmer’s market purchases. We weren’t about to waste the sunshine sitting […]
I was 23 years old the first time I poached an egg (not to mention even trying to make Eggs Florentine). I had been out of college for about a year, and aside from scheduling my own dental appointments, my list of personal achievements was fairly short. On a breezy […]
