Review: Granville Moore’s
Do you ever watch the Food Network? If so you have probably seen the Chef/Owner of Granville Moore’s, Teddy Folkman. He beat Bobby Flay in a mussels throwdown. He also was on season 5 of the Next Food Network star. Granted he was best known for being the guy that lied, but heck that has [...]

What to do this weekend in DC – (November 13 – November 15)

Best Buffalo Wings in DC
I love buffalo wings. As can be seen from the Wingtacular, Best Buffalo Sauce and the red stain on my shirt. So I have decided to list the best buffalo wings in the DC area. This list is not totally complete as I haven’t had every single hot wing from every single restaurant, but it [...]

Columbia Firehouse
109 South Saint Asaph Street Alexandria, VA 22314-3119 (703) 683-1776 http://www.columbiafirehouse.com/ Columbia Firehouse is located in Old Town Alexandria in the same space as the old Bookbinder Steakhouse. Walking in I thought I was still in Bookbinders. If you didn’t see the name out front, you wouldn’t know walking into the restaurant. Almost as if they did not [...]

Ray’s Butcher Burger
1713 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22209 (703) 841-0001 Butcher Burger, or Hellburger as it’s known locally, makes some damn good burgers. Which is not totally unexpected, since it is owned by the same man who runs Rays the Steaks, located just a few storefronts away. Whether it is worth the money and the time, that’s [...]

Flying Fish – The Recap
815 King St Alexandria, VA 22314 www.flyingfishdc.com The yellow and purple Chi-chi-esque decor, out of place with the younger, hipster patrons who frequent this otherwise stylishly furnished sushi bar/restaurant, is only a foreshadowing of the gastronomical delights in store for those who eat here. Our server was a bubbly, personality-laden red-head who swore, wrongly, that [...]

Cafe Atlantico
405 8th Street NW Washington, DC 20004 http://www.cafeatlantico.com/ The expectations for this restaurant were very high. With Jose Andres and Katsuya Fukushima one could expect nothing but perfection. After eating at Cafe Atlantico I have come to the harsh reality that my expectations were completely wrong. Everything started great. We sat at the bar and [...]

September 2, 2010 (12:24) Homemade Hashbrowns I love crispy edged hash browns but have had trouble making them consistently. Great tip on getting the starch out!
August 30, 2010 (11:40) Homemade Hashbrowns Waffle House hash browns have nothing on these suckers. Delish.
August 30, 2010 (9:12) Homemade Hashbrowns YES. Excellent man. Nothing like a good hash brown.
August 29, 2010 (8:13) Grilled Chicken over Cellantani Pesto Chris - It is totally time to start using up that fresh basil. If you can move it into the house. That basil is good all year.
August 27, 2010 (10:49) Grilled Chicken over Cellantani Pesto Fresh basil is the best. It's getting that time of year that I need to start using up our basil plants, they have been productive this year.
