When something has gone to the dogs, there usually is an “uh oh” to follow. Last night’s Sugar and Champagne event to benefit the Washington Humane Society turns that phrase on its head. Dogs were everywhere, wagging their tails, and leading their human companions on an indulgent adventure filled with sweet treats. Approximately 800 humans […]
Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak, & Stone Crab: Cracking Open in DC
February 3, 2014 · by · Leave a Comment
When I was in my mid-20’s- way back in the 1970’s- my best friend and I visited Miami. If there were antics involved, I don’t recall. What I do remember is dining at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant that was far too extravagant for our meager budgets. I knew it was a hot spot, however, […]
Sugar, Champagne, and Dogs…oh my!
January 29, 2014 · by · 2 Comments
I think it’s safe to say that dogs don’t regularly attend DC food events. But there’s always an exception to the rule. Dogs are actually welcome at Sugar and Champagne, benefiting the Washington Humane Society on February 5th.

This new trend of restaurants not taking reservations? I am not a fan. Yes, I have arrived at Rose’s Luxury before 5:30 pm to ensure we get a table without an hours-long wait. In fact, I’ve done it twice. But it’s not my preference. On the other hand, when my husband and I decide […]

Zentan: Mission Accomplished – CLOSED
January 13, 2014 · by · Leave a Comment
CLOSED Zentan has been on my restaurant wish list since reading a Washington Post review from Tom Sietsema last September. “Zentan’s new chef brings a little more spark” is good news. Prior to that, Eater DC lists Zentan in their “New Chef Heatmap: Restaurants Worth a Revisit.” I haven’t dined at Zentan since March 2011, and […]
Brooklyn’s Pardes Restaurant: Where You CAN Be A Foodie and Eat at a Kosher Restaurant (CLOSED)
January 6, 2014 · by · 2 Comments
In late October an article I wrote was published in Tablet, a daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture. “It’s Difficult To Be A Foodie When You Can Eat Only At Kosher Restaurants” describes my initial dismay about my daughter’s decision to only eat in kosher restaurants. I lament the lack of creative […]
