Restaurant Review
DC Foodie Brief (a short guide to new restaurants)
Like lobbyists turn hundred page reports into easy to follow one-pagers, Eater DC has a quick guide to the 2,343,837 new restaurants that have opened/are opening soon here in DC. Well, it’s more like a list, a very good list in fact. But in case your clicking finger is broken […]
Quick Look: Beuchert’s Saloon
While not technically old enough to qualify as a “Hill Classic” just yet, Beuchert’s is quickly becoming the hip hang out of choice for those who take food, quality cocktails, and the absence of Seer Sucker and pastels very seriously. You’re more likely to see a few small business meetings […]
B Too: Chef Bart Brings Belgian Perfection to 14th Street
If you’re not opening your second restaurant in DC on the wildly popular 14th Street, you might be doing it wrong. This neighborhood is buzzing with what seems to be a new bar, nightclub, restaurant, or hip retail store opening almost every week. That’s why it is of no surprise […]
Move over Golden Arches, Sixth Engine brings their MacRib back to DC!
Get ready DC, starting Thursday, May 16th and continuing in it’s porky glory though Memorial Day Weekend, DC hotspot Sixth Engine will bring back their popular “MacRib Sandwish.” Not to be confused with the pre-form molded processed patty served at another food chain, their creation is made from a blend […]
Hay Adams – Ultimate Power Lunch Spot
Truly a “K Street Classic”, the historic DC Hay Adams hotel, located just between the White House and K Street is home to arguably one of the best power-lunch spots in town. Head downstairs to their secluded, dimly lit basement bar and lounge Off the Record if you seek encouragement […]
Daikaya Izakaya, Just a Peak
It’s there, I promise, in all it’s secretive glory, it’s there. Generally, a random wooden door next to a labeled restaurant means a service entrance, utility room, or three-knocks, a password and a dominatrix awaits. Not in 2013, not in DC, and certainly not at Daikaya Izakaya. From accomplished restaurateur […]
Cedar DC Perfects Wild Game Cuisine
As a native North Carolinian, and avid hunter/fisherman, I am always a bit skeptical of these new “farm-to-table” and “wild game” restaurants. I mean, unless you’re experimenting with molecular gastronomy, isn’t everything farm-to-table? Someone grew it right? And if you ever go to a restaurant that specializes in “wild game” […]
Le Diplomate Provides Authentic French Bistro Vibe to the Heart of DC
The hottest restaurant on the popular 14th Street corridor in DC is undoubtedly Le Diplomate. Less than a month old now, the STARR Restaurant group has brought DC an authentic French bistro providing amazing outdoor space, large and open interior, and phenomenal food. Located in an old laundry facility that […]
Phonation is Phantastic
I have a rule about pho, that heavenly Vietnamese spicy rice noodle and delicious broth dish: it should only be ordered in the suburbs and the best is in strip malls (see Pho Golden Cow). So when I saw the Phonation food truck, I decided to slowly walk by and […]
Truckaroo is Back Jack (Fri. 4/19)
That’s right boys and girls, Truckaroo is back on Friday April 19th from 11:00am – 11:00pm at our own Washington Nationals Stadium “Bull Pen” area. Offering free admission for access to the over 20 food trucks, live music, outdoor games, and cold frosty beverages. This will be the first Truckaroo […]
Homemade and Simple Italian at Al Tiramisu
Located just off Dupont Circle, in a very nondescript location with a small jester on the awning is some of the freshest Italian food in DC where as much as possible is cured, made by hand, or done in house. This is all occurring at the hands of Italian born […]
