DC Gastronome: And so this is Christmas...

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2010/12/and-so-this-is-christmas.html

Sunday, December 12, 2010. And so this is Christmas. Today is the Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the traditional start to Posadas, evening parties that run for the 12 days of Christmas in Mexico and where beloved traditions such as piñatas come from. The Mexican Professionals Network of Washington DC. Held its annual Posada at Lupe Cantina. Today, and the friendly bar staff made sure the margaritas were perfectly salty and chilled, the XX Lager flowed, and the shenanigans went by smoothly. Brabo and t...

DC Gastronome: A little bit of everything for Lent

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-bit-of-everything-for-lent.html

Friday, March 18, 2011. A little bit of everything for Lent. My friend JJ Garza-Onofre, the Burger Sherpa of Monterrey. Sent me a picture of his favorite dessert, home-made Capirotada. I had to ask what it was - my grandmother is a formidable woman, but her claim to fame is her chicken and shells soup and her unflappable support for my coffee habit from a young age. Question of 2006. If you haven't given up sweets for Lent like Stephen Colbert a few years ago, give it a try. And so this is Christmas.

DC Gastronome: March 2011

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 25, 2011. Come Follow the Band. Writing this blog has resulted in many fun invites, but in all these years I had never received one as unique as visiting a full-fledged circus train for lunch. I had never devoted much thought to the way performers live and eat (Surely they could eat cotton candy and peanuts to their hearts content? And having the chance to experience the Pie Car with performers and the Chef charged with feeding them and their 300 colleagues was certainly eye-opening. I thin...

DC Gastronome: Each one she passes goes "a-a-ah!"

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2007/10/each-one-she-passes-goes-a-ah.html

Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Each one she passes goes "a-a-ah! Last Friday we checked out the Grill from Ipanema, the Brazilian restaurant in Adams Morgan. The Washingtonian said reservations were essential, but the torrential downpour and the friendly staff ensured that our party of 3 had a table fairly quickly. We had absolutely no room for dessert, but I did finish my meal with some Brazilian coffee. I look forward to going back again soon. The Grill from Ipanema. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

DC Gastronome: Spring BBQ at Westend

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2011/03/ok-so-my-first-instinct-is-to-tell-no.html

Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Spring BBQ at Westend. Ok, so my first instinct is to tell no one about this, because I am betting it will be fantastic, I live near it, and I hate lines- but my love for spreading the word on great food in DC is beating out my desire to keep these things a secret. Beginning April 8th and through the end of May, West End Bistro will be offering a Friday BBQ lunch on its patio. We'll be there the 8th, taking them at their word. Westend Bistro BBQ Stand. April and May 2011. The m...

DC Gastronome: Turnover

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2010/10/turnover.html

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. I don't normally write places up after a single visit, but I don't normally make excited calls within minutes of leaving a restaurant, either. So this is an apology of sorts to Panas, for having walked past it every day for months and just having tried it. Where did my resistance to Panas come from? I consider that stretch of P street to be part of my neighborhood. Maybe it was the memory of some dry ones at the Dupont Circle Farmers' Market. 2029 P Street, NW. Other Food and W...

DC Gastronome: Downtown Surprises

http://dcgastronome.blogspot.com/2009/11/downtown-surprises.html

Sunday, November 29, 2009. A few days before Thanksgiving, Lindsey and I were invited to check out BlackFinn, which bills itself as an American Saloon and opened its DC outpost a few months ago. Though I am normally weary of chains, their 16th street location was very convenient, and I am always on the lookout for good happy hour spots. The menu is also American fare, with some unexpected twists. 1620 I Street NW. Washington, D.C. 20006. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And so this is Christmas.
