For Valentine’s Day, Rob and I had a heart shaped pizza at our favorite pizzeria — Famous Luigi’s.  The restaurant’s claim to fame is that they are the oldest restaurant in the city.  Famous Luigi’s looks like the back drop of a low-budget sketch comedy with its checkered tablecloths, moustached servers and drippy candles but [...]

Hi Friends! I recently got the chance to cover the 11th Annual Sugar and Champagne benefit event for DCSocialite.com.  See below for my recap: A sold-out crowd of humans and their canine companions gathered at the Ronald Reagan Trade Center last Wednesday to attend the 11th annual Sugar and Champagne event benefitting the Washington Humane [...]

I love Super Bowl food!  I even have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to small, bite sized, crowd-pleasing snacks.  This year we went to our friend Carlo’s house to celebrate this all-American holiday so we decided to go with something simple and easy portable — pretzel bites and queso. I usually do most of the [...]

The last time I was quoted in the newspaper, I was being interviewed by the Centre View (Centreville’s finest publication) for being a part of a test group of kids who were trying out new healthy lunch options for Fairfax County Public Schools.  Remember those awesome teriyaki chicken nugget lunches?  You can thank me for [...]

As I mentioned earlier, I am temporarily working at my company’s DC branch while they are rebuilding my office.  The first thing on my “To-Do” list of being an urban worker was to eat lunch at a food truck like all of the fun, hip city people do on television. Thanks to some Twitter research, [...]

Feeling a bit saucy, Rob and I decided to go to a salsa bar for our random Thursday night date. From the mild tomatillo to the hot-and-spicy chiltomate, these condiments did not disappoint! To cool ourselves from the muy caliente salsa, we helped ourselves to their open bar featuring old-fashioned cane sugar soda from Boylans. [...]

My dear friend Carey bravely drove through the Occupy DC camp grounds on one of of the coldest days of the year to eat lunch with me!  Her braveness was rewarded by a hot and steaming bowl of moules and frites at St. Arnold’s,  a small Belgium pub right in the heart of DC.  Every [...]

I am temporarily working in DC for the month while my office goes through an extensive renovation.  My new workspace is located approximately two blocks from Rob’s office which means our new routine includes: – Seeing who can wake up first to hog up our one person bathroom – Driving to work together – Eating [...]

I recently featured Chef Frank and his Korean taco team on my post about budding underground food scene.  I am pleased to announce that Bulgogo will be dishing up their delicious bulgogi tacos and other good eats at the Chinese New Year Festival this Saturday at Luther Jackson Middle School from 9:30 am to 5:30 [...]

I have an internet girl crush on the Pioneer Woman.  To me, she is the modern day Laura Ingalls Wilder only she doesn’t eat weird stuff like sizzling pig tails and bear drumsticks.  After perusing her website on a boring Saturday, I came across this recipe for pot roast that I just had to make.  [...]
