Missing a special dish the previous chef -- Ramesh -- of Raaga Indian, Falls Church, made for me. Does anyone know where he may have gone in the area to be a chef? (He was there maybe eight years...
All - I'm making a cake that calls for candied rose petals. I need to find some that are pesticide free however so I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a source in the Northern VA/DC area. I figure I...
The folks running Thompson Italian have hit a nerve, because the place was packed solid on a weeknight. We were lucky to walk in, but they managed to free up a table for us as long as we didn't st...
Short version, since I'm having trouble getting a post to stick: A few years ago I was eating saltenas from a a couple of places that are no longer around, and I settled on Luzmila's, which wer...
My family is looking to get some Korean eats as we haven’t had some in a while. I want to ask the CH hive mind what places are currently top of anyone’s list. In particular we’re interested in tryi...

Caribbean Plate started off as a South American rotisserie chicken place that was a bit dull, despite the spiffy interior. Looks like there is new management and they have jettisonned the rotisse...
Operated by Victor Albisu, whose recent claim to fame is Del Campo in DC. Nothing fancy here, but there's more originality on the menu than your average taco joint. Order at the counter, take out o...
