Southern cuisine with a focus on farm to table freshness has been the root of Hen Quarter’s success. With it’s first location on King Street in Old Town and a second location in downtown Silver Spring, it only made sense for the restaurant group to make a landing in D.C. […]
On June 19th, Food and Friends hosted their 27th annual dinner and auction “Chef’s Best”, a fun night of good food for a good cause. The organization, founded in 1988, delivers specialized meals to individuals suffering from critical illnesses. This year, they will deliver nearly a million meals to 2,600 individuals. The […]
We’ve all been there before. You go to a restaurant based on a series of rave reviews on Yelp or TripAdvisor, only to be utterly disappointed by the food, service, and/or cost. Every time I have a food experience that proves to be the antithesis of its online review, I’m […]
The dog days of summer are just beginning. Alexandria’s Haute Dogs & Fries (allegedly pronounced “hot dog”) is quick, creative, inexpensive, and downright delicious. Haute Dog is situated blocks from the Alexandria waterfront. And in this city, dogs reign supreme. The very understandable obsession is hugely apparent both in and outside the […]
It is that time of the year again, when you scower the internet for the most patriotic, yet fashionable, outfit you can find. Then you proceed to use overnight shipping, because you have once again waited until the last minute. That’s right, it is Fourth of July weekend! I love […]

I am not sure what kind of wild thing you were imaging when you read this article title, but whatever it is I am pretty sure you did not think of Fish Sauce Ice Cream. Yes, that’s right – Fish. Sauce. Ice. Cream. On a Friday night, I was feeling […]
The Ritz might be too classy to quote Kelis but I feel like I have to: Their bottomless brunch will bring all the boys to The Yard. THL was invited for a brunch menu debut last weekend, and we were treated like royalty. The intimate yard space and impeccable service […]
Farmers & Distillers immediately caught my attention by the name alone, and to go with it, the fame of a great reputation. As a foodie & dietitian, farm to table is my favorite conceptual dining scene. This restaurant is part of a collection of others like Farmers Fishers Bakers as […]
