Sparkling wine and orange juice. $7
Dish DUMBO, New York NY
This place was a joke! they didn’t even have any drink menus and the service was completely clueless and incompetent! My mimosa was ok, but their wines tasted like crap. No thank you!
New York City view.
Rich chocolate cake, almond brittle, chocolate caramel. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This flan was really different. It had a really firm texture which I wasn’t a fan of. It was more like a hardened custard than a beautifully soft flan. They place it on top of the chocolate cake and drench it in sauce so this is a very thick and rich dessert. It was way too sweet and sugary for me so I wasn’t a fan.
Government House, Annapolis MD.
Tomato jam, tempura onion rings. Happy hour $5
SEI, Washington DC
Mmm, these were good. The small Kobe beef patties were pretty juicy and flavorful, and you can’t go wrong with tempura fried onion rings! 🙂
Washington Monument.
Hot honey, goat cheese. Happy hour $5
Level, Annapolis MD
Omg, this was a revelation for me! Brussels sprouts + honey + goat cheese = Heaven! Seriously, these were amazing. For those of you who cook, I would get on this right now (and send me some)!
St. Anne’s Parish.
Crispy masa shells, black beans, chorizo, poached eggs, chipotle hollandaise. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This tasted pretty good, but damn it was rich and filling! The masa was thick and dense and combined with the chorizo and hollandaise, but was a recipe for definite heartburn. Thank god I have a stomach of steel! Like I said, it tasted good but I think I could have done with just one of them.
Traditional Mimosa. $2
Prickly Pear Mimosa: cava prickly pear puree, orange juice. $5
Sprinkled with crushed peppers, oregano, and parmesan cheese.
IPizzaNY, New York NY
Came to Manhattan to visit some friends for the weekend and arrived late on a Friday night. It was direct to the bars and clubs, and of course greasy pizza afterward, lol! I don’t really remember the specific qualities of this slice, but I’m sure I enjoyed it in the moment. 🙂
Souped up bicycle.
Maple glaze, Benton’s bacon. $3.25
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, Washington DC
Mmm, this was delicious! Perhaps the maple glaze was a bit thick for my liking, but it still tasted amazing. Noms!
Mount Vernon.
Happy hour $5
SEI, Washington DC
I wish there was less cheese and more kimchi shrimp inside these quesadilla. They tasted good, but I wanted more of the kimchi flavor in the forefront.
Shenandoah National Park.
Olive oil, garlic, feta, mozzarella, parmesan, fresh basil. Happy hour $8
Level, Annapolis MD
This pizza was rich, buttery and delicious! The toppings were simple and they tasted great together. The crust was nice and thin with a pleasant bite to it. Noms!
USS Maryland Memorial & Bell.
Shredded bbq duck, queso oaxaca, mole negro, pickled onion. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
These duck flautas was pretty tasty. I loved the combination of the bbq sauce, tart pickled onions, and rich mole negro. I wasn’t a fan of the wrapper that they use though. It was too soft and greasy.
Chips and salsa. Complimentary
Corn tortilla chips served in a crunchy flour tortilla bowl, topped with seasoned beef, cheddar cheese sauce, black beans, tomatoes, scallions, shredded lettuce, guacamole, sofrito salsa, and sour cream. nutmeg. Happy hour $5
Pusser’s Caribbean Grille, Annapolis MD
I thought it was kinda odd to serve nachos in a tortilla bowl, but I guess if you really love tortillas this is for you. These nachos were ooey, gooey, cheesy, beefy, and so bad for you (in other words it was perfect, lol)!
Annapolis Harbor.
Open sushi hand rolls. Happy hour $4 each
SEI, Washington DC
I definitely liked the spicy salmon more than the garlic scallop. The scallop hand roll tasted off and the texture was mushy. The spicy salmon had a more distinct flavor and a nice firm texture.
Faux Punishment: rum, star of anise, aromatic bitters, citrus. Happy hour $8
