Just had Joe's for the first time in a *long* time and, sad to say, it was nowhere near what it was back in the day. Everything was fresh enough, but it was bland -- dumbed down, perhaps. Not the...

I seem to remember hearing that the Jerusalem Restaurant in Bailey's Crossroads has new owners and has discontinued the Friday buffet lunch? Is that true? I loved their bread and some of the othe...

I just bought a 32oz. bottle of King Syrup at Gourmet Giant on Rockville Pike. The red label with the lion face looked so interesting, and I thought I remember seeing it called for in a recipe for ...

Fava Pot is a handsome new place in Falls Church that sports a menu for casual eats as well as something more elegant. It has plenty of counter space and stools to snack at, but there are enough...

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...

"I thought, we could probably do that here in Indianapolis," Brown said. "The beautiful thing about being a restaurateur, is that we're already positioned to help. We're in the business of hospital...

This was a kind of last-moment replacement, as we were supposed to eat at Yu Noodles in Rockville, but we found ourselves in DC instead. Six hungry Chowhounds went through quite a bit of the men...
