Cochon 555
5 Chefs, 5 Pigs, 5 Winemakers, one cause: to raise awareness for heritage breeds and family owned farms. If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you may wish to look away now… I don’t really have the words to describe it....

Spotted at Zaytinya: José Andrés and Mike Isabella
Living and/or eating in DC, it’s hardly a surprise to see José Andrés at one of his restaurants, out at a farmers market and just at events around town, but last Friday while Adventures in Shaw and I were having...
in DC: tanning at The Mall
… the National Mall, that is. A friend and I had the day off and were enjoying the lovely weather when we saw this gentleman doing the same. He was soaking up the rays on the National Mall, minding his own business and reading, but attracting quite a lot of attention.
AGAINN Spring Menu

Very sad news to those of us that grew up on a steady diet of television in the mid-80s. Dixie Carter passed away last night at the treasured age of 70. Actress Dixie Carter, 70, who most memorably portrayed Southern...
Lunch at Bourbon Steak DC
Ever since the amazing dinner at Bourbon Steak DC, there was no question that I’d be back, but it’s not the kind of place one can visit every day. Still, when a friend was celebrating a birthday with a Four...
