Premier food & lifestyle collaborative
I was born in the South, Eastern North Carolina in fact. I grew up hunting, fishing, and using those animals. Whole hogs were cooked several times a year. Venison sausage was made by hand. Fried catfish caught on the pond was a staple. Mac n’ cheese so thick and cheesy […]
From the archives, original post appeared October 18, 2016 Halloween is right around the corner. If you are like me, you have already begun prepping to hand out candy scare the pants off your family and trick-or-treaters this Halloween. Why not bring that fear to the best people to prank […]
Naturally, as DC residents we are always on the hunt for Happy Hours and drink specials. I maintain that Happy Hour is where the most important deals are done on “the Hill.” That being said, is it pretty impossible to navigate through the thousands of restaurants and bars here, with new ones opening […]
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 […]

Brooklyn Brewery has been on an international tour, stopping at major cities like Stockholm, London, Paris, Chicago, and our […]
As Fashion Week season continues, the next stop on the fashion marathon is London! London Fashion Week is a much smaller affair than its predecessor New York Fashion Week. There are far less shows (around 60 runway shows compared to New York’s 200). The big London based brands are always present, […]
Last week, Provision 14 unveiled their newest fall-inspired additions to the menu. I joined them in their vintage-style second floor bar for a tasting. Before I even had my coat off, the bartender had a drink in my hand – my kind of place. We started off with a boozy […]
I had the pleasure of attending an early screening of The Girl on the Train on Wednesday evening (thanks Cloture Club)! I read the book earlier this year and I have been anxiously awaiting the movie premiere ever since. While I am always hesitant to compare a movie to the […]
It’s a bustling Saturday night in Silver Spring at the Copper Canyon Grill. Across the street from the AFI Theater, a diverse crowd in relatively casual dress sits at the large central bar and its surrounding booths with cocktails in hand. The open floor plan with a modern dark cherry […]
