Abay Market, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA
I had lunch at Abay Market yesterday because I’d been craving meat. As before, there are only about five tables, and the place is a complete, total dive. It is in a long strip of shops and restaurants that I … Continue reading

Dukbaeki Maeul / Suldoga, Annandale, VA
We were thinking of going to Gooldaegee last night, but as I was driving, I shouted, “Charcoal barbecue!” as I noticed a new restaurant was open in the old Chung Dai Kam space. The sign outside says Suldoga, but the menu inside says Dukbaeki … Continue reading

Baronessa, Rockville, MD
After winding my freshly tuned car through the backroads of northern Montgomery County, I cut over on Route 28, stopping in for a late lunch at Baronessa. There was only one other diner in the restaurant, who ordered the Melanzane alla Parmigiana, and … Continue reading
Mr. Smith’s, Georgetown
Many people know that Mr. Smith’s has been on the corner of 31st and M streets for over 40 years; not many people know that they’ve had the same chef, Arturo Guevara, for 30 years, giving him one of the … Continue reading
Good Fortune, Wheaton, MD
Good Fortune serves mid-day dim sum seven days a week, M-F from 11:30-3, and weekends and holidays from 11-3. I stopped in for a dim sum lunch yesterday, and had a perfectly good meal for $9.25 before tax and tip … Continue reading
Saffron Grill, Great Falls, VA
I was the last customer in Saffron Grill tonight, wanting to order a lamb kabob to go. A slightly older gentleman was behind the counter, and I asked him (at 8:45) if his kitchen was still open. He said yes, … Continue reading

Emilio’s Brick Oven Pizza, Sterling, VA
Emilio’s (either www.emiliossterling.com or www.eatatemilios.com) has been open since 1997, and is a classic suburban pizzeria, of great value to the neighborhood, but not a restaurant you’d travel for, unless you were me. I’m typing this at Emilio’s now, on their … Continue reading

Mayuri, Reston, VA
I started my dinner with a Kingfisher ($6.95 for a 650 ml / 22 ounce bottle), and perused Mayuri’s fairly lengthy menu for something I was unfamiliar with. Mayuri means “(female) peacock” – the national bird of India – in Hindi, and sure enough, the front … Continue reading
Magnolias at the Mill, Purcellville, VA
Every small Virginia town seemingly has its “restaurant by the train station,” and Purcellville, where the W&OD Trail ends shortly after mile marker 45, is no exception. Magnolias at the Mill is Purcellville’s “detour off of Route 7” restaurant, with a charming, historic mill … Continue reading

Rafagino, Burke, VA
On a very slow, cold, rainy night on a Columbus Day Sunday, Rafagino was fairly empty with only a few tables taken, but the suave owner, Paulo Carvalho, greeted the trickling of patrons by the door, just as he has done for … Continue reading
