Top Eats of 2019

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 [...]

Ray’s the Steaks: A Tribute to an Arlington Institution

Ray’s the Steaks: A Tribute to an Arlington Institution

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."

Excellent for both brunch and dinner, we frequent this spot often (dinner reservations are encouraged - it gets packed!). It doesn't hurt that it is only two blocks or so from where we live. They [...]
