A Vegetarian in King’s Dominion, Implied Asterisk
La mujer que llora (Pablo Picasso, 1937) Happy Monday, an entire week spent prepping for the ordeal, forsaking all animal proteins save dairy (I’d give up meat before I gave up dairy), starting with back-to-back-to-back Indian at Masala Art, Indian Ocean, … Continue reading

Kora, Crystal City, VA

Il Canale, Georgetown
It is really challenging to grab hold of the notion that Il Canale is owned by the proprietor of Joe’s Place Pizza and Pasta. The only plausible scenario I can think of is that Giuseppe “Joe” Farruggio made his fortune, and … Continue reading
Argia’s, Falls Church, VA
It’s always tons of fun to write a less than flattering review about a restaurant you like, run by people you like. This is a prime example of why it’s important to remember that these aren’t reviews of “restaurants” so … Continue reading
