I graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in '64 with Connie Chung and Goldie Hawn the year before. (Belatedly, thank you Connie for not covering your paper in plane geometry. Where it not fo...

It is actually one of several trips we take each year to D.C. and environs to catch up with friends, family, cultural sites. While we have favorite dining spots in the area, what's new and interest...

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...

Last night Pim Techamuanvivit discovered that Grubhub, Seamless and Yelp delivery services have fake listings for her San Francisco restaurant, Kin Khao, to accept food orders on their sites. Her r...

I moved a while back & I am now just 8 or 9 minutes from Palisades/Foxhall at Arizona & MacArthur. The only place I have gone to in that area is Kotobuki, which I like quite a bit. The sushi there ...

We moved to Alexandria three months ago. Interested in finding good eats that are not simple carb heavy. I save the simple carbs for good bakeries and Jeni's.

I was feeling inspired specifically by Matty Matheson's "Cowboy Confit" but his recipe only calls for two duck legs, and particularly for my family, that's not going to feed four people. Is one per...

Having heard good things about this place on Rhode Island Avenue {near South Dakota} we went on a cold Monday. We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant and were greeted by Ume, the waiter/host. We...

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...

What a disappointment. Really looked forward to an evening spent sampling the energy and flavor of 14th St. north of Logan Circle. Having already enjoyed an evening with the folks at Chuch Key, as...

If you love to compare a favorite dish from restaurant to restaurant, say pad thai, then you might have a problem eating at Baan Thai. The menu does not conform to standard "Thai restaurant" dishe...

I was more than a bit skeptical sitting down at Emilie's after they rolled out their cart. It is filled with what looks like banchan and they charge for it. Not a lot mind you, but it looks like ...

On Mt Vernon Ave, near West Glebe, there is a brand new Bolivian spot with counter service and a menu that is mostly changing daily specials. They aren't serving the full menu yet, just a couple o...

Availability in Maryland ?

Hello! We'll be moving to Lorton this summer and are looking for suggestions in the nearby area. I did a search on the board, but most posts are years out of date (and the restaurants are closed). ...

So far I've been disappointed at any of the kabobs from NW Chinese cuisine that are available in our area, and I usually hesitate in ordering them. I was happy to see that for $3, I could check ...

More than any other new venture in a long time, I was so looking forward to trying Piccolina, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner casual offspring of Centrolina, right across the alley. The menu hig...

Only open about a month, this may be the only place around to try out Nanjing Cuisine. I was happy to find out that the name was true to the purpose of the restaurant. I will have to explore mo...
