Many people in my age range (50’s) don’t understand the merits of Twitter and Instagram. I, on the other hand, am obsessed. I turn to Twitter to stay informed of local and national news, to connect with DC’s food community, and to follow the 140-character musings of some of my favorite celebrities. Instagram, the photo-sharing site, […]
Equinox: A Swoon-Worthy White Truffle Vegan Brunch
October 31, 2014 · by · Leave a Comment
If the word vegan makes you go “meh,” it’s time to reconsider. Vegan sometimes gets a bad rap. The vegan brunch at Equinox can help sway a non-believer to gain an appreciation for the no meat, no fish, and no dairy side of cuisine. If you think you need a little something extra to persuade you, […]

As a new season of “Top Chef” premiered last week, numerous articles have appeared about current contestants.

I love “Nashville.” I wonder how long it will take for Luke to turn evil, so Rayna and Deacon can reunite. I enjoy the Avery character, partly because I watched Jonathan Jackson grow up on “General Hospital.” And, although I’m not the biggest country music fan, I appreciate the musical performances. Oh wait…did you think […]
Rural Society: Steaking a Claim CLOSED
September 30, 2014 · by · Leave a Comment
RURAL SOCIETY IS CLOSED Steakhouses don’t usually top my list of “must go here” restaurants. Not that there’s anything wrong with steak.

Can DC’s new Rural Society break through my laissez-faire attitude and provide a notable culinary experience? Rural […]
