Premier food & lifestyle collaborative
A half a year after this trend hit social media, I thought it was time I sample a Raindrop Cake. Thanks to Goldbely, you can now order crazy things like this and have them shipped directly to your door. The only thing different about this food is you have to assemble […]
I finally bit the bullet, and got in the cold, outdoor line for Miracle on 7th Street. Fifty minutes later, my group got in. While I’m normally not one for the cold, I’d say it was definitely worth the pain. No other place in DC has Christmas spirit quite like […]
Now maybe I’m being a diva, but I am getting so sick of bottomless brunches with horrible quality food. If I’m going to eat out, I don’t want it to be an absolute waste of my money. So let’s make a pact to eat GOOD brunches from now on, ok? […]
The 22nd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards were this weekend and the blue carpet was full of fashion. The big winner of the night was the new musical La La Land, but not all of the style choices were as successful. Here is a look at the biggest hits and misses of the […]
I’m going to keep this short simple: VIRGINIA IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. Hop in an uber, grab a car, or metro across the river (heck you can even bike), and you will expand your dining options ten-fold…And then you will be disappointed that you didn’t do it sooner. Of […]
The American Music Awards were on television last week and the red carpet fashion did not disappoint. Now, the AMA’s are not exactly the Grammy’s but they are an easy indication of whether you are seriously out of touch with Pop music (who were half of these people?). This year […]

From the archives… Joining many great food debates such as; chili with beans or no beans, and tomato based or vinegar based BBQ sauce, the Thanksgiving rivalry between “stuffing” and “dressing” likely continues in your household. Depending on the regional composition of guests, they are likely to lean one way […]
Many parents say to their children, “you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up” (And no, I am not trying to start some political reference, but just go with it). Well if Erik Bruner-Yang (chef and restauratuer) is the parent, then Maketto is the child. Maketto is […]
Sally’s Middle Name was nothing like I expected. Not because I had low expectations, but because it blew me out of the water. Seriously, every aspect of my evening was so thoughtful and creative. From the drinks to dinner to dessert to the service, it was exceptional. Why did I […]
In her series #CookingNOPI, Callan makes her way through the famous cookbook, NOPI. How many of you are active followers of Meatless Monday? If you aren’t, it’s completely understandable. You’ve been working all day, cursing the fact that Sunday ended. Why does Sunday ever have to end? You’ve kicked off your […]
You may know Chef Luigi from his street level gem, Al Tiramisu, just off Dupont Circle. A place frequented by George Cloney who insists he must always go here when in town. Recently, Chef Luigi expanded his operations and opened a second restaurant, Aperto, in the formerly Primi Piatti location not […]
