In the Barracks Row area of DC (which is cool) is Rose’s Luxury. Incredibly tasty menu in a converted townhouse. There is always pasta on the menu. Upstairs there is a cool bar and you can belly up to it and eat off the full menu. Love this place.

Washington DC is a great city filled with great neighborhoods which I love because they have character, they’re not touristy and filled with great local joints. Columbia Heights is one of those neighborhoods and they have a great joint called Room 11. It’s a casual joint with killer food, like the Pork Belly, and amazing cocktails, […]

Denver’s food scene is exploding and there is a cool little area by the ball park called Platte Park. It’s just a couple blocks long and a happening scene. This is where Brider is. It’s a hip place and it’s counter service. They have great beers, cocktails and killer sandwiches. I had the Chicken Bahn Mi […]

Blackbelly Market is a new joint in town and is top notch. Great place for dinner serving up killer food and tasty craft cocktails. They are way into their meats. They take it seriously and it shows. The pasta with slow cooked beef and steak tartare were outstanding. And next door they have a market open […]

Onefold is really a great little find. It is just east of downtown. It’s small, quaint, counter service and the food and pastries are amazing and I am told the coffee is great too. Fresh ingredients cooked up right. I had the Congee. Savory rice porridge cooked in chicken stock, duck confit, poached egg, green onions, […]

Wicker Park is such a cool neighborhood in Chicago. So many great places to eat and Dove’s Luncheonette is one of them. It’s Tex-Mex diner eats plus cocktails & lots of tequila in a cool retro setting. The place is little and swanky and it’s all counter seats. So cool. I had the Avocado Toast. […]

There are three Bongo Rooms in the city. I went to the one in Wicker Park. Very cool neighborhood of Chicago. What a great meal. Everything in here is scratch made using fresh ingredients. I had the Tomatillo Salsa Scramble. Three egg whites scrambled with grilled chicken, baby spinach and topped with diced avocado. Tasty. […]
