There is one question I get asked more than any other. Where should I go for a special occasion meal in Bethesda? I have a tough time coming up with a response to this, because there are lots of pretty good places to eat in Bethesda, but special occasion/destination worthy? Not so much. So when […]
Elizabeth’s Gone Raw: Going Nuts
May 4, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
I have to be honest. I had some trepidation about a $75 per person dinner made entirely of raw food. Despite the fact that I’ve read some great things about Elizabeth’s Gone Raw, I can’t help but wonder… how good can it be? Is there such a thing as food that is too healthy? And […]
