townandcountrytravelmag.com People often ask me “what’s your favorite restaurant?” For months I’ve been saying that my top three are Rasika, Volt, and Central. However, I was starting to feel like somewhat of a fraud. You see while I’ve been to Rasika a few times, I haven’t been in about two years. How can you claim […]
Sabai Sabai Simply Thai is not Elementary
March 1, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
zagat.com I went to Sabai Sabai Simply Thai in Germantown recently with some friends, including a woman that I went to kindergarten with in Detroit. This is an incredible story and one that I must take a moment to tell before I get to my review. This woman had been an acquaintance for several years. […]

In my last post I used a metaphor of falling in love to describe my experience at Ardeo + Bardeo. It didn’t happen. I am happy to report that less than a week later I did fall in love or at least infatuation….with Addie’s. Geographically desirable (Rockville), attractive, amiable…and the food is delicious. You just […]

New Orleans: Rolling on the River
February 5, 2011 · by · 4 Comments
Outside of my room on the 4th floor of the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, I can hear a chorus of voices shouting the words “rolling.” This chorus is repeated over and over again, about every five minutes or so. All night long. A Bruce Willis/Joseph Gordon-Levitt futuristic action/adventure film titled “Looper” is being […]
Adoring Adour for Restaurant Week (closed)
January 30, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
I am not a fan of French food. I much prefer the more pronounced flavors found in Indian, Asian, and Latin cuisine. Nevertheless, Adour was at the top of my Restaurant Week wish list, as #5 on Washingtonian‘s 100 Very Best Restaurants for 2011. Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity to try new foods, and […]
