Pizzeria Orso, Falls Church, VA
(See the February 15th., 2011 Review here.) If you read my previous review about Orso, you’ll see that I was disgruntled about the Giamette. But I also know full well that pizzaiolo Edan Macquaid is one of the most talented … Continue reading

Sabai Sabai Simply Thai, Germantown, MD
(See the February 15th Review here.) Oops. A couple weeks ago, I went to Sabai Sabai Simply Thai, and proclaimed it “the best Thai meal I’ve had in years.” Well, of course I was going to go back; I only … Continue reading

McLean 1910, McLean, VA
The old Three Pigs BBQ space in Langley Shopping Center has been so transformed that it’s no longer recognizable, and its replacement, McLean 1910, seems like it’s off to a good start. How good? McLean 1910 is owned by the … Continue reading
Sou’Wester, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Southwest
February 14th is a special day for me – not only because it’s Valentine’s Day, but because it’s also my son Matt’s birthday! For the past two years, I’d taken him out for an “all-dessert dinner.” (Yes, go ahead and … Continue reading

Pizzeria Orso, Falls Church, VA
(See the December 11th, 2010 Review here.) Confession time. It was 7 PM last Sunday night, I was working on almost no sleep, had really never spoken in public before, and hadn’t even started writing my speech to give early … Continue reading

Volt, Frederick, MD
I often walk straight into hornets’ nests, and so it was Saturday night at 7:30 PM, Valentine’s Day weekend, as I got an answering machine at Volt, but ignored the near-zero percent chance of getting a table and went anyway. … Continue reading
Matchbox, Capitol Hill
Last Friday, a working dinner turned into an hour-long “where should we go, what should we get” discussion, culminating in carryout pizza from the Capitol Hill Matchbox. It was a great decision, and turned out to be a good selection … Continue reading
Famous Luigi’s, Downtown
(See the January 9th, 2010 Review here.) I met Nikki Lewis downtown to discuss my talking points for ROC-DC’s Behind The Kitchen Door breakfast summit at Eatonville. We’d originally planned on meeting at Sign of the Whale, but it was … Continue reading
Sabai Sabai Simply Thai, Germantown, MD
