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 […]
I arrived to Bad Saint at 3:45pm for dinner – yes, 3:45pm. And after waiting until its 5:30pm opening, I almost didn’t get a table for the first seating. Following Bon Appetit’s article that named Bad Saint the second Best New Restaurant in America, I am by no means surprised. This […]
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 […]
This is a Public Service Announcement: the Gryphon has brunch. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Dupont, the Gryphon is located just south of Dupont Circle on a bustling stretch of Connecticut Avenue. Unlike the college-y vibes of Mad Hatter and Lucky Bar, the atmosphere of the Gryphon […]
Cyclops, Medusa, Basilisk, Mothra, Nessie – these were just a few of the mythical-monster themed tasting stations at Snallygaster 2016. Returning for its fifth year, the Snallygaster Beer Festival attracted thousands of thirsty patrons to The Yards on Saturday. Did you know the Snallygaster is actually a creature from 18th […]
Have you ever struggled to find just the right spot for your next date night? Feel like you and your significant other have already tried all the romantic spots in town? Fall is right around the corner and you need somewhere intimate to eat. Well if you haven’t dined at […]
Fall is the best season. Boots are the best shoes. Spiked hot chocolate is better than regular hot chocolate. These are facts. If I had it my way, we would skip directly from May to mid-September every year. So I am just about jumping out of my fleece-lined leggings and […]
From the creative team that brought you Red Apron Butchery and the Partisan comes their new and swanky Barracks Row spot, Eatbar. Just a block from the Eastern Market metro stop is your next stop for after work drinks, noms, and yes, great happy hour deals. Intimate and trendy, yet laid […]
Last Wednesday, the glamorous and notorious Q Street Mansion granted guests a preview of the soon-to-open Service Bar DC (SBDC), coming to U Street later this month. Service Bar is a concept brought to life by longtime DC restaurateurs Chris Willoughby, Chad Spangler, and Glendon Hartley. Chris was the owner […]
I recently started a new job. Even though our headquarters is in a regular office building in California, all peripheral offices are set up in “business incubators,” including our office in DC. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the concept, an incubator is a company that provides affordable […]
When I say I just had the best Thai meal in the city, I am not exaggerating. A little further north, not too far from the Petworth metro, is Alex McCoy’s prized pop-up restaurant, Alfie’s. Inspired by his own trip to Thailand, Alfie’s focuses on Northern and Isaan Thai street […]
