Halloween in Georgetown at Filomena Ristorante

Yes, I know this should have been posted several weeks ago when it was actually Halloween. For one, we’ve been traveling, and for two, I’ve been lazy. In any case, we’re back at it now. We’d been meaning to try Filomena for some time, thanks in large part to friends of ours who are absolutely …

We’ve Found the Best Damned Bakery in America (and Possibly the World)

Let me just start by saying, I am not a dessert guy. I rarely leave enough room at the end of the meal, and I’ve never quite enjoyed sweet things as much as savory ones. So, when I tell you that we’ve found the best fucking bakery in America, and the cakes there will melt …

Brave the Crowds and Try This Busy Italian Restaurant in Richmond

If you visit this site, you know we’ve been on a bit of a Richmond kick recently. Our first visit back in July was eye-opening, and our second visit a few weeks ago was, if anything, even better. During our most recent visit, between all the biscuit eating, not to mention our return visit to …

Our Attempt to Find the Best Biscuit in Richmond

In a great Southern food city like Richmond, you’d expect it would be easy to find a quality biscuit. We sampled several during our first trip to Richmond, but none of the biscuits we tried were particularly satisfying. Our second trip, we decided, would be a different story. Prior to our most recent visit, Kathleen …

It’s Finally Time to Talk About Our Favorite Restaurant in D.C.

Before starting this website and subsequently posting our every food thought for all to read, we’d regularly field the question, “so what’s your favorite restaurant in D.C.?” Up until last year, we didn’t have a clear answer. But we do now; unequivocally, and without reservation. The answer? Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab! Despite …

Brabo Restaurant: Old World Cuisine in Old Town Alexandria

It goes without saying that we love to discover new restaurants. Hell, we’ve devoted an entire website to writing about food. Apart from the joy of discovery, though, I sometimes feel like kicking myself after enjoying a good meal at a previously untried spot. It may be stupid, but sometimes I think to myself, man, …

Restaurant Review: Cheesetique | Alexandria, VA

Despite our documented struggles to find suitable dining in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, we ventured back there to re-visit a place we hadn’t tried for several years. It turned out to be an excellent choice. As the name implies, Cheesetique is a Mecca for all things cheesy. With seating in the back of …

Fittingly, our first entry on our Richmond Restaurants Page is our review of our favorite restaurant in Richmond, Lunch.Supper! This place is where I fell in love with pimento cheese, ate …

Restaurant Review: Catch on the Ave | Alexandria, VA

We have no shortage of restaurants here in Alexandria. Old Town, especially, has everything from fast casual to fine dining, with the crowds to match. One of the less touristy parts of Alexandria is the Del Ray neighborhood. With no shortage of restaurants, Del Ray aims to be the locals’ spot. Unfortunately, the restaurants in …

Restaurant Review: Delia’s Mediterranean Grill and Brick Oven Pizza | Alexandria, VA

Over on our Restaurants Page, we write reviews of our favorite places to dine out. These have included some of D.C.’s hottest spots and restaurants by celebrity chefs. Not to be overlooked, though, are local neighborhood gems that, while they may not have the caché of big-name restaurants, can still be excellent go-to options. In …
