Blue 44, Chevy Chase

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Don

It was the day of the donrockwell.com picnic, and after spending an afternoon feasting on 18 different types of pork, I wanted a light dinner. Blue 44, with its strong influences from Pittsburgh, isn’t the type of restaurant that a … Continue reading →

Black Market Bistro, Garrett Park, MD

Posted on April 24, 2011 by Don

Black Market Bistro gets my vote as “Best Restaurant in Garrett Park.” Then again, I’m pretty sure it might be the only restaurant in Garrett Park. No matter – it’s a wonderful place, and understandably overlooked in the online restaurant … Continue reading →

Clare and Don’s Beach Shack, Falls Church, VA

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Don

I hadn’t been to Clare and Don’s Beach Shack in a couple years, and I remember the last time I went, I ordered the exact same thing. It was “Grouper Tuesday,” and a Blackened Grouper Sandwich ($7.50) is on special … Continue reading →

Qdoba, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Don

Yeah, I played Ultra-Zone Laser Tag. Yeah, I went to Qdoba. Yeah, I got a burrito. You gotta problem with that? I’ve been to Qdoba exactly three times in my life, and each time I’ve gotten a Vegetarian Burrito ($5.89) … Continue reading →

Pupatella, Arlington, VA

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Don

(See January 13, 2011 Review here). There’s really not much more to say about Pupatella whose co-owner, Enzo Algarme, celebrated a birthday early last week. I’ve been there a million times, and have yet to see him not working. On … Continue reading →

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Don

On a frigid Sunday evening, I ducked into Ripple and immediately asked for a glass of Bourbon (that cold snap we recently had switched me from beer and wine to Bourbon and Rye very quickly). A Van Winkle 12 was … Continue reading →

Haandi, Falls Church, VA

Posted on December 31, 2010 by Don

Pupatella was deluged, so Haandi it was. Except for the previous time (when it was just awful), I’ve always enjoyed Haandi’s Palak Paneer ($11.95) – not because it’s great, but because it’s been consistently good over the years. Plus, it … Continue reading →

Panjshir, Falls Church, VA

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Don

Desperation set in last night as closing time loomed near, so Panjshir it was. I came close to going entirely vegetarian, and there wasn’t much difference that I didn’t. The only dish that contained meat was the Aushak ($5.95), a … Continue reading →

Restaurant Eve, Alexandria, VA

Posted on December 21, 2010 by Don

I almost walked into Pat Troy’s for a pint yesterday before dinner, but then logic (i.e., the thought of clean lines) took hold of me, and so I walked over to Restaurant Eve. A pint of Guinness ($7) it was, … Continue reading →
