Premier food & lifestyle collaborative
Before last month, I had neither heard of the White Flint metro stop nor set foot anywhere near it. The land of Bethesda – as most downtowners know it – is confined to the second location of Georgetown Cupcake or the main strip packed with restaurants like Brickside Food and […]
The D.C. food scene was beside itself last month when Michelin released its coveted stars and Bib Gourmand guide for excellent, affordable dining options. Unsurprisingly, renowned chef and restaurateur José Andrés was at the top of both lists, with two stars for Minibar and an impressive four restaurants on the […]
The time of Oktoberfest is upon us, with beer festivals everywhere Washingtonians turn. Where can one get their fall fill during between the festivities, and frankly any night they’re feeling seasonal? For both autumnal food and drink, look no further than World of Beer. This may surprise some, as WOB […]
For those who have trouble leaving the district, there’s finally a good reason to venture up the red line. Tucked away off the main Bethesda thoroughfare is Brickside Food & Drink, a sports bar with some upscale dishes that make you think in you’re in one of D.C.’s hotter dining […]
It was nearly one year ago when I joined the Hungry Lobbyist team and embarked on a journey to find Kentucky-inspired food and drink in D.C. What began as a review of Southern Efficiency’s impressive Bourbon Heritage Month menu led me around the city – from discussions at the National Archives […]
When it comes to thriving in the restaurant business, 14th street is a tough neighborhood. It’s full-to-bursting with award-winning options, so the stiff competition all too often forces eateries to quickly shutter operations. Some, however, are standing the test of time; a feat that typically requires periodic reinvention. That’s what happened at […]
In the land where Lululemon and Lily reign supreme, Washingtonians know Georgetown can be painfully lacking when it comes to dining options (aside from bright spots such as Baked and Wired, Chaia, Simit + Smith and Chez Billy). Although absolutely beautiful, the chains and tourists roaming M street cause distractions to […]
Hungry Lobbyist readers may recall our April trek to Merrifield, VA to sample TRIO Grill’s spring menu. We’re at it again this summer with another sampling of their summer plates. Per usual, this NoVa gem did not disappoint. On a quiet Monday evening (which is half-priced wine night, by the way), […]
The month of July often feels like one big, freedom-fueled bash – especially if you live in Washington, D.C. Not only did our great nation tell Britain to ‘back off’ on the 4th, but other nations also claimed their own independence around this time. As the capitol city of the Great American Melting […]
Cider lovers, get ready. ANXO, the Basque-themed cidery and pinxtos bar, is finally open in a stunning new Truxton Circle location. Our readers may recognize ANXO from the #ANXOSighting pop-up we attended last fall at Petworth’s Colony Club. After months of popular “Cider Club” events around town, DC drinkers have been anxiously awaiting the brick-and-mortar […]
For Washingtonians, especially those who work downtown, BLT Steak means one thing – popovers. Warm, buttery, fluffy; they really are the bread of the gods. The constant praise bestowed upon the popovers, however, sometimes overshadows BLT’s other marvelous menu items. That may not be the case for long though thanks […]
Looking for a special something to sip on this summer? Look no further than Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown. Head Bartender Torrence Swain and team have struck again with a new seasonal cocktail menu and it’s hot. Like, it’s literally on fire. You may recall […]
