On March 7, 2017, Restaurant Brain Trust hosted their inaugural educational and networking series geared for restaurateurs and their staff. Their mission is to help local restaurateurs realize their growth plans by equipping them with the educational content and professional contacts that will be integral to their success. The event, Recipe for Success, featured a […]
Someone once told me Woodley Park feels a little bit like it has been frozen in time. With its odd collection of restaurants, mixing the likes of Nando’s and Dunkin Donuts (no hate here, I’m a Boston girl) with unique establishments like Petits Plats, and Open City – I can’t say I […]
Necessity being the mother of invention, this bruschetta was a complete accident…A last-ditch effort to salvage leftovers and use the remaining odds and ends before I bought groceries for the week. The twist comes from a repurposed squash puree which adds richness and helps cut through the acidity from the […]
Happy March, food family. I’ll be straight with you – this is a weird month for food days. Turkey Neck Soup Day? Cheese Doodle Day? MELBA TOAST DAY? I chose sparingly this month on which food holidays to feature, but I’m confident you’ll want to know about these in advance. […]
Taylor Gourmet has teamed up with chef Michael Schlow of Tico, The Riggsby, and Alta Strada, on a special edition hoagie with proceeds benefiting the Chance for Life childhood cancer charity. The sweet and spicy, mouthwatering Italian hoagie is named “Alta Strada” and is topped with roasted turkey and ham, […]
Calling all True Foodies! If you have been to True Food Kitchen before, then I know you share the obsession, if you haven’t been, then call up your girlfriends and make a reservation for brunch next weekend or plan a date night with your person. True Food is incredibly versatile […]

Sweet Home Cafe is brewing with African flavors from around the country; like its historic exhibits, the Natural African American Museum of History and Culture’s restaurant is a must try. With four different stations featuring traditional African cuisines from different regions, the cafeteria offers tasty bites of history. I was pleased […]
So it’s Sunday morning…which probably means you were out on the town last night and maybe, just maybe had one too many vodka sodas. Logistically speaking, after Step 1 of waking up and chugging water, you’d move onto Step 2, which entails either mustering up the energy to go to […]
I’ve always loved the movies and spent the majority of my formidable years in theaters, a side effect of being an only child with a highly active imagination. The smell of popcorn, the scratchy polyester seats, and the anticipation when the lights begin to dim – the movies were and […]
Ugh, don’t you just hate beautiful scenery, awesome food, and historic AF pubs. Us too. For some reason Old Town Alexandria was ranked one of the best downtowns in America. People seem be under the impression that Old Town it’s charming, but it is oh so drab. For starters, the […]
You may think you know your way around a sleeve of Thin Mints, but a trip to The Black Squirrel this weekend (and this weekend only) may have you thinking differently. For the 2nd year, the Adams Morgan-based beer hall is taking an already perfect food-stuff (Girl Scout Cookies) and […]
