I’m excited about the Capital Food Fight. For one thing it’s a chance to rub elbows with the likes of Carla Hall, Duff Goldman, and Tom Colicchio (oh wait… been there, done that*). It’s also a chance to enjoy food from DC’s hottest restaurants. But more importantly it’s a fundraiser for DC Central Kitchen. DC […]
Boston’s TW Food: From Exhaustion to Exhilaration
October 8, 2013 · by · Leave a Comment
I am a firm believer in the restorative value of food. I am aware that not everyone shares this perspective. Once a year I travel with colleagues to an out of town conference for four to five nights. Our days are jam-packed, and we are “on” for at least twelve hours straight, beginning as early […]
Thally: My Tally – CLOSED
September 25, 2013 · by · 2 Comments
I’m not sure what the tally is on new DC restaurants this year. I do know it is fairly staggering.* Thally is one of the newest, with an opening just a few short weeks ago. Co-owned by Chef Ron Tanaka, formerly of New Heights and Cork, Thally is getting some good buzz. Never one to […]

After eating brisket for three straight Rosh Hashanah meals, I am ready for something different. There’s nothing wrong with brisket for the holidays, in fact I absolutely love it, but I am ready to experience a family tradition that isn’t necessarily my own. Enter Casa Luca. This new Italian restaurant in DC embraces the family […]
Masala Art: A Palate of Flavors
September 3, 2013 · by · 2 Comments
I spent the first part of my summer rushing around excitedly exploring the many, many, many new restaurants in DC. As summer winds down, so does my fervent need to focus solely on recent additions. In fact my restaurant-going in general has slowed down considerably, with weekends away and home barbecues taking the lead. I […]
Trummer’s on Main: Hitting the Road
August 29, 2013 · by · 1 Comment
Trummer’s on Main in Clifton, Virginia is not a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live in Silver Spring. It has been nearly three years since I dined here last and I’m itching for a return visit, particularly since Austin Fausett is now Executive Chef. Fausett has an impressive resume that includes stints […]
Bethany Beach’s 14 Global is Out of this World
August 18, 2013 · by · 6 Comments
This will not come as a surprise to anyone who reads my blog. For me, going to the beach is about the food. When I visit the Delaware beaches, mandatory stops include Fisher’s Popcorn, Surf’s Up, Thrasher’s or DB Fries, and any of a number of places for a daily dose of ice cream […]
