It's no secret: I am a Mexican food snob. Growing up in Southern California, some of the best Mexican food I ate was in the kitchens of my close friends. And if we were to go out, our Mexican restaurants were solid. When people ask me what I miss most about not living in California [...]
Another year has gone by and I have stuffed my face with tasty treats. I essentially spent the month of January reminiscing on my gastronomic feats of 2019. I also did plenty of eating in January as well (stay tuned for some of that!) In order of date visited, these are my top 10 eats [...]
I've been extremely fortunate in my dining adventures. I have four restaurants under my belt that have all made the World's Best Restaurants List: Hof van Cleve (43), Atelier Crenn (35), Arzak (53) and Disfrutar (9). This year's list was just revealed in late June so, I intentionally held on to this post in hopes [...]
I am a hardcore carnivore. There is no other way to describe me. When people talk to me about vegetarians, I respond with, "I don't trust them." I just don't understand how you can live your days without wanting meat. Any meat. Steak, pepperoni, bacon, burgers, meatballs, sausage, BBQ. Don't even get me started on [...]
I've been away for a bit because we were in Spain for 10 days. And it was UNBELIEVABLE. Josh had a work conference in Barcelona and after that we took extra time to travel around. We were able to add on San Sebastián to our trip. In other words, I told Josh there was absolutely [...]
I am fortunate to say I have been to Paris twice. I fell in love instantly. Paris and I have a deep connection. The sounds, the smells, the people, the food, the wine. I could go on. And although Audrey Hepburn did NOT say the line famously attributed to her, "Paris is always a good [...]
I've lived in Arlington nearly 10 years. I've seen places come and go. But my complaint about this area is always the same: we need more diversity in our restaurant scene! Look, I love a good sports bar as much as the next person (and that's actually true. I love sports. Hence, the baseballs used [...]
One of my favorite things about living in the Washington, D.C., area is how many opportunities there are for quick road trips and weekend getaways. Whether it is a drive to the Virginia countryside, or hopping on a train and three hours later walking the streets of Manhattan, the options are endless for unique trips [...]
Ladies like wine bars. There is just something about them. They're cozy. They're comfortable. There is an upscale ambiance about them. You can have fun hanging with a friend, your mom, a date. Usually solid food choices - at the very least they have cheese (always an A+ in my book). They just have that [...]
One of my favorite things to do once the weather warms up is take the walk from Arlington across the Key Bridge to Georgetown. This weekend we had beautiful Spring weather and I was itching to get outside. View from Key Bridge Georgetown is one of the BEST places in Washington, D.C., to have a [...]
