firstbitedc Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm a food lover and DC lover who has committed (foolishly?) to eating at and writing about every new restaurant to open in DC. It's been an adventure so far, and I look forward to sharing it on DonRockwell. Patrick www.firstbitedc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurajg Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi, new to DonRockwell, but have heard about it for years. I'm a librarian and have lived in DC for most of my adult life, and thus seen the city transform from "enh, sleepy southern town" to a food powerhouse. Living in this area has given me a huge appreciation for a variety of ethnic cuisines (though I'm still looking for really good Mexican) that I have missed living in other parts of the country. I'm also a fairly ambitious (though not always successful) home cook, and am lucky that my boyfriend will try just about anything once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYGODC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hello folks. Some of us met Don indirectly at Bistro la Bonne recently - one of our favorites. We try to be funny and put on shows around DC to make you laugh. I've attached a flyer to our next show. I personally recommend the fish sticks, food wise. A few days later, on the 19th, we'll be doing a brunch show at Shaw's Tavern from 3-5 p.m. It will be a very fun time and I hope we can meet in person at a show soon. Feel free to ask us anything. For the most part, we've put all the website and other link-ups to learn more in our profile. Hopefully, you're able to come out (or a few are) and it's good to you and we earn our welcome here at DC Dining. Cheers, Rich LYGO DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonmot Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Reintroducing myself from a few years ago - I have another DC business/pleasure trip coming up in April and wanted to get the lay of the land again. Last time I was planning a trip, this site was invaluable. Thanks for the help and for any possible help you may provide this time around! I'm staying at the Hilton near Dupont Circle for the first few days, then in old town Alexandria for the 2nd half of my trip. No car, so it's Metro and hoofing it. Some things have changed since I was last here - Ben Ali passed away, Ray's Hell Burger started accepting credit cards... then closed. It takes a lot of effort to keep up with changes here in Chicago, much less in DC. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook In / Dine Out Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello! My name is Andrew and I write the food blog Cook In / Dine Out (www.cookindineout.com), which is mostly about cooking and cocktails but I also write about restaurants, food journalism and sometimes books. I'm not in the food industry, but I learned to cook as a child, really got into it as a teenager and have been doing it regularly ever since. I love how cooking is a constant process of education--there is always something new to try or a technique to perfect. As proficient as I think I am in the kitchen, I know there is so much I don't know. There is always something new to discover, which I think is a big part of what makes cooking so exciting and rewarding. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and moved to D.C. after college (in 1999), where I've been ever since. It has been an exciting time to live in the city as the food scene has evolved and really blossomed. I found this forum while searching for clues on how to make the roast chicken at Palena, which is one of my very favorite things to eat in a D.C. restaurant. I love the discussion on that topic that has unfolded here for the last 7 years. I'm looking forward to exploring this site more, particularly the restaurant guide, which sounds like a great resource. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch0wster Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hello - I'm Sandy. I don't work in the industry but I grew up in it.

Baking and feeding my co-workers is my therapy. I'm also a good eater too.

South_Rests_DC Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi All! I have from SC and have been to the DC area for a little of 2 years. I moved up here to purse a MBA degree in marketing and sport management. I recently created my first website for a class project and am learning the most effective ways to market it. Because I am from the south and love food, I thought I would create a site that would highlight restaurants with southern food that I personally recommend.

Providence Gourmet Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm a "food fan" who lives between Boston and Providence, RI. And (just in case you've never been there) Providence is a much better dining destination than Beantown! But that's a story for another day. My wife and I will be in D.C. next week, from Tuesday through Sunday night, and I've been scouring the web to find "honest" sources for good eating experiences. We enjoy everything from "haute cuisine" to "diner heaven". Hopefully I'll find lots of input on this site, and I'll report back on how well we fare (but give me a week or two - we won't be back home until April 12th).

BJC (aka "Providence Gourmet") Welcome, Providence Gourmet. And now a question for you: How are you getting here? I may be going to Providence in a couple weeks, and the flights are outrageous. Have you really "scoured the web," and are only finding out about this place just now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Providence Gourmet Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 1) I'm flying Southwest Air into BWI, then driving to a Marriott in North Bethesda that's right next to a Metro station (But renting a car is cheaper than the van rates from BWI to Bethesda - go figure!). If you book them 6 months ahead you can usually get $140 round-trip, and then progressively higher as time gets closer. It will probably cost you around $200 for something in the next few weeks. 2) Hey, I just started "scouring" yesterday . Being in the "sweet spot" of life (retired, but still healthy enough and financially able to travel ), we've got 8 separate destinations planned this year (of which D.C. is the 2nd). So planning sometimes gets 'backed up'. I sincerely hope you make it to "Little Rhody". There are probably 100 restaurants worthy of eating in here! Not bad for a city of 200,000. Enough, anyways, that I'll never get to them all - new opens open faster than I can check off the old ones. And some need to be visited quite often, of course. the other great location for dining in New England is Portland, ME. Not as many places as Providence, but it's a lot smaller - and the quality is fantastic. 3) Bottom Line - if you're coming up here for sure, let me know, and I'll try to steer you to some nice places.

DonRocks Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 1) It will probably cost you around $200 for something in the next few weeks. Yes, but that's how much it costs each way! For each person. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Providence Gourmet Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 April 15th, returning April 18th, $180 round-trip per person (as I am seeing in real-time right now). Anything closer in time is much higher, I'm afraid. Plan ahead!! . Once in awhile you can get $49 (one person, one way) - but usually only the first day or two that SW opens up a new block of the calendar (right now booking through early October - they stay 6 or 7 months ahead). The early bird gets the worm. Sadly, air fares will never go back to the way they used to be, any more than 10 cent cigars or gasoline for less than a buck.

jasonrhoades Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi Everyone - My name is Jason and I am the husband of fellow member bettyjoan. I lived up here in DC when I went to law school, before going to Atlanta for a few years. Just moved back to DC yesterday and I am looking forward to catching up on the food and beer scenes - especially the beer! The biggest thing I will miss about Atlanta is Taco Mac, where you can try over 1,000 unique beers, if you put in the work. I only got to 575 before I left, so I'm hoping to find some new stuff here, along with some old favorites. Oh yeah - and I'm currently an out of work lawyer. We moved back so bettyjoan could take a big promotion with her federal agency, so if you have any leads, feel free to pass them on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamrhess Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Rockwellians! This is Pamela Hess and I think this is my first post? Though I have been lurking for a long time... I'm one of the old Chowhound Crew with Marty L and Zora M. I live on the Hill near Eastern Market. I thought it was time to get official since taking a new job that will interest most of you. Formerly the editor of Flavor (and then Foodshed), I am the new executive director of the Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture. www.arcadiafood.org. It's a great organization doing important work, and we have amibitious plans for restoring our local food system. Our flagship program is our Mobile Market which launches its second year this week. We refurbished an old school bus into a rolling farm stand that we stock with fresh, gorgeous produce from our small sustianable farm on the grounds of Woodlawn mansion -- come out and see it any time (except Monday's as that is our farmer's day off. You'll get a better look at it if Stephen is there to guide you.) What we don't grow ourselves we pick up weekly from local farms within about 100 mile radius of D.C. Then we make 9 regular stops each week in the metro area, targeting neighborhoods without ready access to quality food -- these tend to be low income areas. Through generous donations and our own fundraising, we are able to double the value of our customers' federal food assistance benefits. That means $20 on an EBT card gets our customer $40 in nutritious, locally grown food. We carry produce, locally raised hormone- and anti-biotic free meat, dairy, and pastured eggs. Real food shouldn't be the province of the wealthy. Our market chops away at two of the main barriers -- geography and affordability. http://arcadiafood.org/news/mobile-market-report The Market also visits local schools for on site "field trips." And we welcome field trips to the farm as well. In the summer we offer farm camp for kids 6 - 12. One-fifth of the campers last summer were on scholarship. We are raising money right now for this summer -- we have 10 of the 20 planned scholarships funded. Lots more to go. Farm camp is really wonderful. There are 4 one week sessions. Every moprning starts with the kids collecting eggs from our laying hens, heloping harvest what is ripe, and light watering and weeding. They learn about botany, soil, agriculture, nutrition, and healthy eating and cooking. If you have a hard time getting your kid to eat their veggies, send 'em to camp. They will eat anything they've picked themselves, and we show them how to make it taste great. http://arcadiafood.org/arcadia-farm-camp We have a fundraising dinner coming up on the farm on May 19 that I hope you'll check out. Tony Chittum, the James Beard award semifinalist (winners announced next week!) is preparing a gorgeous menu of Mediterranean dishes using Mid-Atlantic produce and meats from local farms, and each course is paired with a fantastic Virginia wine. The dinner starts with a stroll through the farm with our farm director (and sparkling wine and canapes), then we sit down at a long table stretched between two fields and dig in. More information about the dinner is here -- I hope you'll join us! http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=d879a39f766b935628a8d1295&id=e751076002&e=191916836d Thanks for reading this far, and supporting Arcadia however you can!

Simul Parikh Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi, I just started posting last week, but have been a reader for a few years now. My name is Simul Parikh, I live in Alexandria, VA (Del Ray) and am an oncologist in Maryland. I have always loved food, having lived in Chicago and New Orleans, but since moving here I've very much expanded what I eat, particularly in terms of Asian food. I grew up thinking it was boring, tasteless brown sauces and vegetables, but that's because I was eating at all the wrong places. I now can't get enough Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. This is because of this website and Tyler Cowen, and I'm glad to now join the community. Simul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenL Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello, New to DonRockwell, in previous years I spent my time lurking and checking out the various restaurants (usually alone or with my GF). I've been to a majority of the Korean restaurants in Annandale, as well as the majority of Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants in DC and Rockville. I read and speak Chinese fluently so I suppose that offers an advantage when I'm trying to order pig intestines cooked in szechuan peppers.

Chef Seb Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Happy Sunday and hello everyone, My name is Sebastian Oveysi and i am the Executive Chef and Managing Partner of Amoo's House of Kabob located In Mclean VA. My family have been in the restaurant Industry for nearly 20 years. My father opened his first restaurant in 1994 after working as a waiter for many years trying to support a family of 6. His hard work and dedication to cooking made him well known in the small Falls Church, VA community. As the years went by, he continued to experiment with verity of Persian meats and spices. After operating for 10 years in Falls Church, My family wanted to do something different, something that no one has done before. After closing Rose Cafe In Falls Church, we were blessed to have the oppertunity to open Amoo's House of Kabob. Currently Rated number 1 restaurant in Mclean, VA by yelp.com users. One of the main reasons why Amoos is so successful, its because we just dont do kabobs. Our menu consisits of traditional Persian kabobs and hearty stews. But lately weve taken it to whole new level by adding Seafood Kabob options to the menu which include Atlantic Sockeye Salmon kabob, Chilean Sea Bass kabob, and New england Sea Scallps kabob. About a year ago, I started doing daily specials that resulted in high recognition for the restaurant. Currently our daily Specials change everyday and we have provided some of the tastiest special options that people cant seem to stop talking about. I like to be creative and with my Father's brilliant brain, i feel like the options are just limitless. And i am so excited for the next coming weeks. I have found some of the best wild caught fish and free ranged meats from around the world that are being delivered straight to our kitchen every morning. My father and mothers cooking combined with my own experience working in various big chain restaurants around the U.S, has resulted in a very successful operation. Starting from Mid-summer 2013, Amoos will be having delivery option in addition to our very well knows carryout menu and service. Please come and visit us at www.amoosrestaurant.com or simply find us on Facebook. I personaly keep contact with everyone through all the social media. But my personal favorite site that i use to promote specials and keep in touch with our wonderful guests, its Facebook. I find it to be a great tool for my family's business. Thank you everyone who have dined with us in the past and thank you for making Amoo's McLean's favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of the best family operated businesses in DC Metro area. And finaly thank you Mr. Rockwell for voting us one of your favorite restaurant!! My family is extremely flattered!!! Thank you. Looking forward to seeing all of you at my table!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years later, I'm still in love with Delfina and the raw bar at Zuni Cafe (but I still can't shake the over-vinegared greens under my roast chicken there).

Cizuka Seki Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hi, all. I haven't followed proper protocol and introduced myself. My name is Cizuka and I have been following this site for a little while. I have only recently started contributing but I plan on contributing my two cents more often. I eagerly look forward to the feedback and discourse. During my time off-line, I like to do things like run a restaurant and swim. I also enjoy gardening and expect a nice crop of Japanese cucumbers this year.

Josh Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi all, Longtime lurker, overdue on joining up. My name is...Josh, and I'm relatively new to DC (2.5 years). I live in Capitol Hill NE, just off the H St. NE corridor. I moved from NYC (East Village) for work (doc at Children's National). I've used the hell out of this site since moving here, and it's definitely my most trusted source for news/reviews. Tough to name a "favorite," but places I frequent are Toki Underground (this place was a godsend for my wife and I as we suffered through Momofuku withdrawal), Bangkok Golden, Ethiopic, and Boundary Road. Obviously lots of H St. places for obvious reasons. My most memorable meals in DC thus far have been Komi and Cityzen. The wife still dreams of the cheese cart from the latter, while I hold on to the memory of getting the last pour of a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. Thanks to everyone for all the advice I've gotten (anonymously) so far. I hope to be able to add something useful to the conversation here soon!

u-bet! Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There used to be instructions for using BBCode somewhere; for example, how to link to something so that "Click Here" is dsplayed instead the actual URL. I thought the instructions used to pop up when you went into BBCode mode while composing a post, but I don't see them anymore. Did this go away as part of an Invision udpdate?

I thought the instructions used to pop up when you went into BBCode mode while composing a post, but I don't see them anymore. Did this go away as part of an Invision udpdate? To put in a link, highlight your own text, e.g., Click me, then click on the 9th icon from the left in the bottom panel. Fill in the URL, and you'll be all set. If you really want to get hardcore in coding your own post, click on the 1st icon on the left in the top panel. Note that this is a toggle switch, so if you get stuck in that "mode," just click the icon again. I've had several "Help! I'm desperate!" letters in the past when a member unknowingly got stuck in this mode and didn't know how to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Goree Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hello we are Jon & Anna from the Seoulfooddc food truck, & now the new brick & mortar in Wheaton. We met at Whole Foods where I was a meat cutter & Anna was a pastry chef. We are both passionate about different kinds of good food so one thing led to another and SeoulFood was born. It has been a wild ride & we are loving every minute of it. We are looking forward to being part of and promoting a community of thoughtful omnivores.
