Chicken, shrimp, flat rice noodles, egg, bok choy, bean sprouts, peanuts. $19.95
Chef Geoff’s, Washington DC
This was SO gross! The chicken and shrimp were overcooked and were bone-dry. The noodles had absolutely no flavor and the other ingredients just seemed off. This was a waste of twenty bucks. Thanks for nothing Chef Geoff!
Shenandoah National Park VA.
Pickled jalapeno, citrus ponzu. Happy hour 3 food items for $22
The Source, Washington DC
This is a pretty good appetizer! You can choose any 3 items on their lounge menu for twenty two bucks. Count me in! This sashimi was ok. I question the freshness of the fish. It didn’t taste old or bad, but it also didn’t taste super fresh.
Atlas District Common draft beer. $8
Mount Vernon VA.
Kusshi oysters and Hood Canal oysters. Served with mignonette, fresh horseradish and lemon. Half dozen $13.50
Hank’s Oyster Bar, Washington DC
Finally, I found small, delicious oysters from the West Coast in DC! These were delicious especially since all I’ve encountered are the medium to large East Coast oyster which I don’t like very much. They tasted clean and briny and were perfect!
Goldfish crackers. Complimentary
National Harbor MD.
3 pieces $1.99
Famous Famiglia, Newark DE
These were hot, greasy, and garlicky. So of course I loved them, lol! Seriously, I love garlic knots and can’t get enough of them.
Flatiron Building, New York NY.
Shaved celery, fresno chilies, garlic chips, oregano, aioli. $14
Jane, New York NY
UGH, this restaurant was SO annoying! Firstly, I couldn’t get water if my life depended on it, then they were out of taglitatelle so the waitress suggested this salad as an alternative. Imagine my surprise when everyone in our party got their large plates of steak, mussels, and salmon frites and I received this TINY bowl with a few bits of food in it. FML, who in would think that this dish is substantial enough to be an entree?! What a joke…
Manhattan Bridge.
Mozzarella, anchovy, red onion, thyme. $15
Marta, New York NY
Now this was a delicious pizza! The crust was perfectly thin and chewy and toppings were great. They were simple and of really great quality. A perfect combination that made for a yummy meal. NOMS!
Mortoni: Wodka vodka, campari, citrus, Q tonic. $10
Hedwig and the Angy Inch set, Belasco Theatre.
Lentil, carrot, prune. $24
Momofuku Ssam Bar, New York NY
I liked this dish, but I’m going to say that it was definitely on the salty side. The roasted duck tasted great (even though the skin was super chewy), but the duck egg rolls really didn’t have to be there. They were salty and the wrapper was oily. The lentil and duck combination was new to me and I liked it.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Ketchup. $8
Tonic East, New York NY
I didn’t read good things about the food here, so I thought I’d play it safe with tater tots since I wasn’t really hungry anyway. You really can’t mess up fried tots, right? Anyways, these were actually pretty good and they give you plenty of them so it’s great for sharing.
Mimosa. Carafe $8
Uh, a great price when there’s no bottomless!
Classic car.
Tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, mini meatball, roasted garlic. Happy hour $4
Rubirosa, New York NY
I loved the crusts at Rubirosa! They’re thin and delicious, and the toppings were super yummy. More please!

Hoisin, cucumber, scallion. $10
Momofuku Ssam Bar, New York NY
The super fatty pork belly pieces had a great flavor, but there was just too much grease everywhere! The buns were literally soaked in grease from the pool underneath. Even the cucumbers couldn’t cut the flavor of the grease. I loved the hot sauce that came in the tiny squirt bottle (although it wasn’t very hot).
Stateside saison beer. $9
Empire Fulton Ferry State Park, Brooklyn Bridge.
Aztec chocolate ice cream, tequila cherries, toasted almonds. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This sundae was delicious and I think it was the tequila cherries and its juices that put it over the top! The Aztec chocolate ice cream was also very yummy.
National Harbor MD.
Vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella. Happy hour $3.50
Rubirosa, New York NY
This pizza was delicious and nicely priced by the slice during happy hour! The vodka sauce was yummy and the melted fres mozzarella cheese was a perfectly simple topping. Their pizza crust is thin and tasted great. Noms!
