Have you heard of the restaurant Summer House Santa Monica located in “North Bethesda?” I hadn’t either – and boy were we missing out. First thing’s first, “North Bethesda” does not exist – it’s Rockville. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let me take you on a […]
St. Patrick’s Day isn’t all corned beef and cabbage and Jameson and Guinness (though we are fully supportive of all of those things, too). You can get just as into the spirit of the Irish with some of DC’s most delicious dishes that just happen to be every Leprechaun’s favorite […]
Whether we’re celebrating the Bieb’s birthday or channeling our inner Irish on St. Patty’s, we’ve got plenty of reasons to party in March. Every year leading up to the 17th I’ve always made a corned beef and cabbage and promised myself I’ll never deviate from the tradition. Well, I’ve learned […]
There is some debate on how and when the potato chip came to be, but no reason to dispute which chip tops the rest. To honor this highly anticipated holiday, I sampled (and finished) the top potato chips on the market. I kept it to “plain” potato chips for a more […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bucatini all’Amatriciana is one of my absolute favorite pasta dishes. This sauce gets its unique flavor from a combination of chili flake, black pepper and Guanciale, an Italian cured meat made from pork jowl. I like to buy my Italian specialty ingredients from A. Litteri, but feel free to substitute […]
Don’t deny it: you go through at least one case of La Croix each week, but if you’re really being honest with yourself, it’s more like two or three. And everyone you know has their go-to flavor about which they are way more passionate than they should be. You’ve seen relationships […]
