Bearnaise, South Capitol Hill
After a long day of running around, steak tartare sounded perfect to me and my young dining companion, and after hearing about the version at Béarnaise, it sounded like the perfect restaurant for us. Given how crowded Good Stuff Eatery … Continue reading

The Swiss Bakery, Burke, VA
The Swiss Bakery is the only restaurant that I know of in the Washington, DC area that does not allow tipping. Because of this, I make it a point to go there at least once a month. I needed to … Continue reading

Sushi Yoshi, Vienna, VA
Vienna has a big, big sushi identity crisis. In particular, there are three sushi restaurants within a 1-2 mile strip that begin with a “Y” – Sushi Yama, Yoki Sushi, and Sushi Yoshi. Forget about Sushi Yama – it’s just … Continue reading

Baked and Wired, Georgetown
(See the April 2, 2011 Review here.) If I had one, and only one, question to ask a stranger, in order to determine whether or not they were plugged in to the DC food scene, it might be the following: “Where … Continue reading

Chief Ike’s, Adams Morgan
I went for a post-midnight Chief Ike’s beer tonight, getting a PBR ($3) and a Famosa ($3), enjoying the beers on their patio. The bartender was as friendly as could be on a slow night, not even asking us for a card when we … Continue reading

Me Jana, Courthouse

Joule and The Whale Wins, Seattle, WA
Filling Two Beards With One Zone I only had one night in Seattle, as logistics dictated we’d make it a layover on the way to Canada (logistics being that the *entire* city was booked, save for an overpriced airport Doubletree), … Continue reading

Astor Mediterranean, Rosslyn
I can happily say that I got a non-Egyptian pizza at Astor Mediterranean that was every bit as good as the Egyptian: a Regular Pizza ($10.95) with red pepper, kalamata olives, eggplant, and mushrooms ($1.50 per topping) was a vegetarian’s delight. I actually preferred this to … Continue reading

Ghibellina, 14 UP
To honor our long-time member Jonathan Copeland – who, in case anyone doesn’t know, was Sous Chef at Palena, and opening Chef de Cuisine at Palena Café – I decided to take him up on his cocky message to me … Continue reading
