Hello All !
After reading through the posts and living in the DMV area for 9 years , I truly have missed out on a lot of great food & reviews by not signing up for DonRockwell earlier ! ..
That said , I've been scavenging food spotting/foursquare/yelp for the best places to eat in the DMV area . I go for hole in the wall experiences that are owned by mom and pop's .. the latest find was a Taqueria Juquilita which really was someone's house (apartment) turned into a taqueria ! or gharer-khaber which I'd been reading about for a long time.
Since this is a local community , Im sure you guys must have meetups / crawls and such ( if not I'd be happy to organise ) . Could someone point me to the right place for such events / posts ? Does this forum have a meetup group or something similar ?
Since the best food can often be had in people's houses (not necessarily restaurants) , I'm big into finding such people who cook because they are passionate about it . I like eatfeastly.com (and I'm also a host there) for meals that you normally wouldnt find else where - for e.g. I'd been to someone's house out in manasas who took us on a forage hike and made us everything from fir soda with vodka to lavender cheese and wild onion & chive crackers . I myself put out food that is based on my ethnic mix of indian/yemeni/egyptian .
I look forward to talking / meeting with you fine folks here at DonRockwell
