‘DSCF3611.jpg’ courtesy of ‘joelogon’ The Burger Joint (BGR) is the latest in a line of local hamburger shops trying to muscle in on DC-area institution Five Guys by offering a gourmet twist on this American staple.

To Market, to Market, to Buy…What?

Sound Off: Best food INSIDE Union Station

‘it’s full. yet it’s empty.’ courtesy of ‘staceyviera’ I have mixed feelings about Union Station. It’s gorgeous,  yet it’s grubby. It’s full of good stores, yet it has nothing really that interesting.  It’s got good hustle and bustle, yet I hate the lost souls. Seriously, it’s love/hate. I love it but I really hate it. [...]

‘Look what’s for dinner!’ courtesy of ‘jessicafm’ I got slightly snarky a while back about the upcoming Kid’s Restaurant Week (June 13-21) but promised in my last post about it that I’d offer up my personal picks for the event, even if I plan to stay far, far away.

DC Omnivore 100: #78 Snails

‘Brasserie Beck’ courtesy of ‘webjedi’ Originally, this Omnivore update was for another topic, which was “Beer above 8%” (and will show up soon), but after taking a look at the menu at Brasserie Beck, the Belgian-styled gastropub downtown, I figured I’d better shift focus. So you ask, “snails?”, what is the most joked about cuisine [...]
