  1. Phoghettaboutit. I actually am not a huge fan of the famed noodle soup, or ramen for that matter. I know, I know. I actually prefer Bánh hỏi, a rice noodle dish with bbq pork & fish sauce. That’s my jam.
  2. I will directly share your post to the forum, and will post your contact info. Could you also include you email contact? You will be able to direct or follow up on any additional information you need to take care of that way you can control any inquiries you may have. Happy to help, and good luck!!
  3. Hi Jaime, I am happy to spread the word to a group I am a member of based in DC, perhaps you have heard of it. Pineappledc is a group of hospitality professionals, comprised of primarily women, but men are welcome as well, who are championing and fostering businesses as well as initiatives in the DMV and well beyond. Its is the facebook group of the Pineapple Collaborative. May I post what you have published in this forum , as well as your contact info? let me know. it takes a village, kat
  4. Chef @Tom Power whips up magnificent soups! When I used to serve at Corduroy, I used to describe the cauliflower parmesan soup as a cozy velveteen blanket on a chilly winter day. Delish.
  5. As I am learning, and digging in deep in to the folklore of the Pennsylvania Dutch, I recently learned of the mud sale. I have yet to go to one, but am fascinated by this group of humans and their semi colonial ways. In the short time I have spent in Lancaster, I have become rather smitten with it. There is so much to learn, as well as explore in Lancaster. With each interaction I have with both locals, as well as transplants, it all creates a rather vibrant quilt . There are spots that I have wandered into that I am hesitant on sharing for fear it may lose its local charm and be overpopulated with tourists. Although at the same time I want to shout from the rooftop that Lancaster is filled with art, culture, and dining spots that are worthy of media accolades. I suppose while learning about the locals, I will learn what to share, and when to keep my lips sealed. After all the best kept secrets of any city are best discovered on your own,or perhaps with a hint of print. Stay curious, kat
  6. Possibly reach out to @MBK? She has since moved to the New Orleans, and I recall her being rather hungry and adventurous in the dining scene when she was living in the DMV. Its worth asking. I recently reached out to here through this forum to reconnect, and she happily responded. So maybe if you reach out to her, she may consider it.
  7. I appreciate a good burger, and have driven miles, as far as over 120 miles for a good one. I may be in the 1% though that will do that. I think people that live in the DMV are spoiled to the cornucopia of food options. A good burger is just a few miles, few metro stops, or can be delivered to the comfort of your own home. In my hood, not so much.
  8. I appreciate your response. I am guilty of holding chefs on a pedestal, so do not mind my inquiry. I recently have gone back and watched episodes of Hamilton on Mind of a Chef, and just love her no nonsense approach to food. I admit I have not had read her book, but am in love in her cookbook. I am always interested in the story behind the lines, what shapes a Chef, what makes him or her tick, as well of learning what drives a them to push through or ignore trends. Prune is one of those places that if not owned by the Chef is enslaved to the astronomical rents in Manhattan. I feel it is a matter of time that its's doors will close as a result of higher leases, and I want to be able to venture there before it is no longer.
  9. Syria- A Night of Sharing will be a pop up that I have a hunch will nourish more than my belly. Understanding the human condition through the stories of refugees will be extraordinary. Often times when I seek out these pop-ups, it is less about the food but more about the experience. I am certain the food will be no doubt delicious. I look forward in reporting back about my evening “in” Syria. Intrepid gourmet, kat
  10. I like to support small business as much as I can, but in a pinch Clydes always delivers. Not groundbreaking, just decent food. And the service is always good, for me anyway.
  11. lovin’ the #donrockwelldotcom representation! We are up to 125 posts , and growing. I have been curious about Minnow myself, and will check it out to see if I garner the same outcome. Thank you for following our lead! Instafan, kat
  12. Thanks! I imbibe in alcohol, but there are times when I would prefer a booze free beverage on account I travel quite a bit on any given day. I know the outlets near Columbia have a few options, and there is a Clydes. Thanks for the follow up!
  13. In my travels, I have ventured into Jerz for pizza, and baked goods. Upon a friends recommendation, I made the 3 hr trek to Sorrento's in East Hanover. Oh Mamma Mia it was worth every mile. I am on a quest to find whether or not a good bagel can be found here, and by the last two responses, I am confident I will.
  14. I may be pelted with toasted bagels for suggesting this, but how does the hive feel about Jersey bagels?
  15. When I hit the city for my celebratory binge, I will be sweating smoked whitefish and bialys for days long past my stay. Oh, and bringing back knishes too.
  16. Fall 2018 I think I may seriously consider looking for digs in the city of Lancaster, Pa. Each day , I grow more fond of the red rose city. No offense York, but I think RED is my color.
  17. Can you adopt me? I make a nice addition to any family. Asking for myself.
  18. I am just wondering how this purchase of Zagat will affect the landscape of consumer driven reviews? I recall Zagat being the standard long before YELP was even used to described in our present vernacular pertaining to reviews. I read they are attempting to do away with the number rating, so I am unsure how the scale of a destination will rate. Much like anything else I don't quite understand, I will be digging deep to learn about the new acquisition. Never stop learning, kat
  19. Did you manage to find one? and if so where did you go? I personally have no aversion of going somewhere where alcohol is served, but its always a nice alternative to dine somewhere where there is no bar. Interested in to know where you went, and if the food was good. Curious diner, kat
