Sometimes you want a healthy, well rounded meal but don’t want the hassle of cooking. Having each of the main categories (meat, starch, and vegetable) represented on the plate is what signifies supper to me, but sometimes I just don’t have the energy to put the whole meal together. Take out is a great option,…

10th and Willow
After checking out Steph and Gav’s new, very grown up condo we decided to stay in the neighborhood for brunch and walked to nearby 10th and Willow. The moment they brought out the mini muffins I was happy. They basically made funfetti butter by mixing in sprinkles and chocolate chips. This is a fiver year…

Agave
Here’s another one to add to your drunk brunch list, folks: Agave. $25 gets you an entree plus bottomless mimosas, wine, or frozen margaritas. Bazinga! I ordered the Southwestern eggs benedict and thought it was a great twist on the traditional. The English muffins were topped with firm tomato, avocado slices, poached egg, and a…

Mayhem and Stout
The name sounds so rock and roll but it’s fitting because this sandwich shop serves braised meat with an attitude. Mayhem and Stout started as a stall at NYC flea markets and just opened their first brick and mortar location on Friday – a convenient one block walk from my apartment. Since it’s so close…

Rare Rooftop
Whether you’re on the East Side or West Side, Rare has a rooftop for you. The music may have been a little loud for 5 PM on a Thursday afternoon, but I suppose people are ready to party when the end of the work week is near and the weather is beautiful. The view at…

On a typical weeknight you would be right, but I think it’s worth giving Stonestreet a chance on the weekend, too. Sure, FiDi is significantly quieter when the market is closed and all…

After a big night out on Saturday, Liz and I were looking for a quiet brunch on Sunday. Eggs Florentine were about as crazy as I planned to get. Perry’s looked like a great Sunday spot to get some brunch food and maybe people watch at the tables outside. But as we started walking up…

Julia’s Empanada’s
After a long bus ride, I was starving by the time I got to DC. I needed food and I needed it immediately. Thankfully, Liz lives in the bustling Adam’s Morgan area so even though it was 12:30 AM, there was plenty of drunk food to be eaten. Even completely sober Julia’s Empandas were delicious.…

The Whitefish Challenge
You’re wrong if you think the whitefish challenge of this post’s title means a competition to eat the most whitefish in the least amount of time. I don’t know if that would excite you or gross you out but either way that’s not what it refers to. The whitefish challenge is something my brother, sister-in-law,…

Hendrick’s
I waited patiently for Hendrick’s to open in a space that had remained vacant for the full year since I moved into my apartment. It was right downstairs from my place and as it started coming together, it looked promising. The painted brick, white marble bar, and glazed wood floors signified a spot that could…
