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 […]
It was a murky, drizzly scene in the District, but perched on the corner of North Capitol and Quincy Place was a beacon of spring cheer: Old Engine 12 Firehouse Restaurant. Unfazed by the black clouds and winter coat weather, Old Engine 12 eagerly rolled out a preview of their […]
