Todd Luongo was doing something right when he envisioned Mythology, one of the newest restaurants on H Street. And lucky me, I had the pleasure of enjoying this magical restaurant last week. When you walk in, you are immediately in awe of the decor itself, a mythological themed oasis (I mean, […]
Every year around this time people are scrambling to come up with some last minute stroke of genius to have the most clever Halloween costume on Instagram. Unfortunately, for most people, this search comes up empty-handed resulting in some thrown together excuse of a costume or whatever is left on […]
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 […]

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 […]
