Poached eggs, mini jumbo lump crab cakes on fried green tomatoes, with black eyed pea succotash, asparagus, Old Bay hollandaise sauce, dusted with Old Bay.
Miss Shirley’s Cafe, Baltimore MD
Omg, this was A LOT of food! And it was all pretty heavy. The succotash was a little too starchy to provide any break from the heaviness of this dish. The components tasted good though. I think they could have done without the 2 additional fried green tomatoes on the side though.
Side of sweet tomato jam, served with hand-cut fries and pickle. $12.79
Ted’s Bulletin, Washington DC
I was skeptical of peanut butter on a hamburger, but it actually tasted really good even with some of the tomato jam mixed it! The beef patty was cooked nicely – juicy on the inside with a nice grilled crust on the outside. And the fries were deelish!
Beets tzatziki, hummus(?), and urnebes spreads. Served with puffy sourdough bread. RW Deal, $35 per person
Ambar, Washington DC
These spread were tasty! They had wonderful textures and they tasted great with the fried sourdough bread. So unique and worth the taste!

Rome (FCO) to Chicago (ORD), United Airlines
I love flying internationally. Even though I’m back in Economy, at least we still get free wine and beer on international flights. And their house wine is typically drinkable. 🙂

Super Duper Burgers, San Francisco CA
I think my favorite part of these burgers is the nice crust on the grilled patty and the Super sauce. They are just so easy to eat and packed with amazing flavor. Noms!
With 2 eggs, spicy grits, and toast. $13.95
Market Lunch, Washington DC
This plate was delicious! I just wish that the piece of rockfish was a little bigger. The grits had a little kick to them which was lovely. This place gets packed, but I was able to snag a corner of the communal table right in front.

These were really yummy bites that arrived after the main dessert course. They were delicious and had were in a variety of textures which made it fun to eat while reflecting on the lovely meal that was consumed. Mmm…
The bill came in this cute metal box.

Meh, this isn’t the best but it was close to my old apartment so it was convenient to grab one on the way home.

Hyderabadi Biryani Corner, Herndon VA
Omg, this biryani was SO delicious! I loved the roasted chicken pieces underneath. They were very tender, juicy, and flavorful. The long-grain rice was also cooked and seasoned perfectly.
Salmon, white tuna, cilantro, avocado, and masago inside with yellowtail, jalapeno, and ikura on top. $16
Kumo Sushi, Herndon VA
This roll was good. It wasn’t the best and it could have been more fresh, but I liked all the fish in it. The service at this restaurant was really awkward though. Ugh…
Potato puree, pan gravy, lingonberry, pickled cucumber. $20
Plaj Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Mmm, fancy Swedish meatballs! I loved the gravy and lingonberry combo. And the meatballs were really tender. The pickled cucumbers were a nice addition.
