Smokin’ Jarhead – Former Marine Ron Johnson’s Smoked Meats for Catering, Parties, and General Delivery in the DMV

Ron Johnson, aka “Smokin’ Jarhead” is a former marine, now offering some of the best barbecue I’ve ever eaten, and absolutely some of the very best barbecue you can find in the Washington, DC area. A couple months ago, I bought … Continue reading

Bangkok 54, South Arlington

My disagreement about Bangkok 54 with local critics, as well as with many diners, goes back over ten years, and continues to this very day. At the risk of losing readership, I urge people who think that Bangkok 54 is a superior Thai … Continue reading

Pizza Vinoteca, Ballston

I’m upgrading Pizza Vinoteca to Italic. I didn’t feel like venturing out to lunch today, so I ordered delivery through GrubHub, ordering a House Pizza (a bargain at $8) with tomato, fontina, mozzarella, and basil and a Tarte Flambée ($12) … Continue reading

Mala Tang, Virginia Square

Following goodeats’ recommendation about Chinese dining on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I wanted to remind Christmas diners that Mala Tang is open until 10 PM tonight (I called and verified this, although don’t be surprised if they close a bit early). Last night, … Continue reading

Kabob Place, Great Falls

I’ve been driving down Georgetown Pike for twenty years or so, and don’t ever remember Kabob House not being in downtown Great Falls, although it has changed ownership fairly recently. It’s now operated, I believe, by the Ternisky family (if … Continue reading

Sweet Rice, Falls Church

Kudos to Sweet Rice for delivering last week right after we got pounded with 6-8 inches of snow. They not only delivered, they delivered ahead of schedule, and the food was hot and *good*. Wild Pork ($10.95) and Gang Gai ($10.95) were both as good … Continue reading

Maki Maki, Bethesda

I tweeted this yesterday afternoon, having a terrible craving for raw seafood – raw bar or sashimi – yesterday at around 3:15 PM. I really tried: Makoto, closed Kotobuki, closed Murasaki, closed Yosaku, closed Black’s Bar & Kitchen, closed Clyde’s, open but … Continue reading

Famous Luigi’s, Downtown

I’d like to say Famous Luigi’s is underrated, but I can’t for two reasons: it’s generally not rated, and over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever had anything here other than pizza. But I do enjoy their pizza (which … Continue reading
