An Afternoon With Albert

Been a while since I updated with an interview, huh? I’ll make up for it today with an article about the latest stranger, Albert Yee. Albert was born and raised in New York, then moved to college in DC. He didn’t like it there, so moved back to his home state for a while before [...]

Forget It Clyde’s, It’s Chinatown

So I’ve dropped the ball on new dinner interviews the last few months. Try to ignore that and instead focus on the fact there will be new articles up in late April. Good thing I’m not on salary for this site. Meantime, by way of a site update, let me tell you about a restaurant [...]

Philadelphia Freedom

I have zero reason for using that headline other than the fact I was recently in Philadelphia for a weekend visit and the Elton John song “Philadelphia Freedom” came to mind. Moving on swiftly, I didn’t have any dinners with strangers in the City of Brotherly Love but I and two friends got to try [...]

A Streetcar Named Delay

So about that long-delayed New Orleans article…yeah, it’s coming. Finally got my laptop back from its repairs so expect the latest write-up this weekend. While I’m on the topic of New Orleans, I have to recommend Mother’s Restaurant, a fantastic place just outside of the French Quarter. They serve basic fare like sandwiches and salads, [...]

Meal At Montmartre

The first of my two New Orleans articles is on the way, and should be up within the week. Meanwhile, I’d like to take a minute — or really, type for a bit, because time is relative on the Internet, right? — to tell you, dear reader, about a great restaurant in DC named Montmartre. [...]

Out Of The Loop

It’s so very warm in DC right now that I’d rather just nap, but I love all three of my visitors so much you can have an update. Earlier today I went to see In The Loop,  a rather funny comedy about the not-so-amusing topic of politics. Afterward my friends and I went to Matchbox [...]

Eating At Eatonville

In case you were wondering, I’m hoping to have another dinner — this time with video! — written up before I head back to England for a brief holiday next week. If you weren’t wondering, then I think you’re terribly rude. Meanwhile, some friends and I went for dinner at new Washington, DC, restaurant Eatonville. [...]

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

Hello, you! Long time no see. How have you been? Good? Good. What have I been up to recently? How nice of you to ask. Well, I recently had dinner at Potenza in Washington, DC. It’s a huge place with an on-site bakery, a good range of Italian dishes on the menu, some nice wine [...]

Taverna Time!

Recently I went with a large group of friends to one of my favorite restaurants, Taverna Cretekou in Old Town, Alexandria. Highly recommended, especially on a Thursday night when they have live music and dancing. The food is consistently excellent, the house wine is surprisingly tasty (and cheap, bonus) and the waiters are effortlessly entertaining. [...]

Back In The New York Groove

Back from a brief weekend visit to New York City and two new dinners with strangers. All right, I’m not being entirely truthful because one of them was a brunch. More on the interviews in a later update. While in Manhattan I also got to meet up again with a certain stranger who was featured [...]
