  1. Community supported reviews awarding the best of the best DC has to offer. This may prompt more frequent visits to the District. Donrockwell.com represents all that is good in,and outside the Beltway. You certainly have my attention. DCdining awards may very well become the new standard. kat
  2. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/flowers-vineyard-wine-dinner-tickets-29649588718?aff=es2 at $125, this appears to be a great deal. A 5 course tasting menu, all inclusive dinner. This is an incredible deal. I will certainly be there. geeking out, kat
  3. ESPN 30 for 30 documentary series single handily has transformed me into a sports fan. Each subject is far different than the last. It's no surprise thar the first episode centers around Wayne Gretzky.
  4. There are only 29 seats at this spot. An intimate, delicious one.
  5. I like how your mind works. Luca, a sister to Maison, is equally delicious. I learned last night, Mason worked for Kellor.
  6. Living in Washington , DC, I never thought I would find a venue that would showcase my love for artsy , independent films. E Street Cinema was a gem I thought to be rare. Zoetroplis Art House in Lancaster, Pa has fullfilled my long lost love for indie films. Moonlight is a film that should be the center of discussion at any table. My lack of review of this prolific film is deliberate. Please go see this film. You are welcome, kat
  7. I love the fact you are speaking as if we already won!!!
  8. I love learning about the history of Culinary practices. This may certainly inspire a improptu road trip. I'd love suggestions of where to stop along the way, or better yet just wander,and see where I land. Will explore for food, kat
  9. "Food Network's Alton Brown Stops Back at Lancaster for Return to Maison and Stops at Luca, Passenger Coffee" by Jennifer Kopf on lancasteronline.com Maison for the win!!
  10. May I add myself to the group? I make for a rather charistmatic tour guide. I will happily guide throught the art spots, and well as as the unusual spots.
  11. He did in fact. Ever since the write up in the NY Post,which drew similarities between Brooklyn,& Lancaster, there has been an influx of people. Lancaster is most certainly worth the trip. kat
  12. Thank you for the recognition. Maison is a bit of a gem. I do see your point of the drawback that there is no wine& beverage program in place. The likelihood of securing a liquor license in Central Pa is nearly impossible. John Jeffries is a great spot as well. Inside the Lancaster Arts Hotel, it is enriched with so much history. The ever changing farm to table establishment always delivers a finely composed meal. Service is consistently engaging, and well informed. Downtown Lancaster is certainly worth a trip, if not for Maison, a plethora of other options are available to explore. Thank you for the recognition! PA proud, kat
  13. Im thinking perhaps I should rename this thread, King Brat. Its rather obvious I am a fan. Tonight, I once again will be indulging in their offerings. This time, the backdrop, a live art showcase. Stay tuned, kat
  14. I respect that the members who chime are DC strong. Just a mention here and there in my neck of the woods is always appreciated . After all, Ive been away, and came back "home". DC has that effect.
  15. Skipping ahead of the line,and not reading all the previous reviews, how far are you willing to travel? And knowing , I may be the single voter for this establishment, it doesn't hurt to throw my hat into the ring. Maison in Lancaster, Pa warrants consideration.
  16. Im available for tastings. FYI. Welcome to the forum!! hungry, kat
  17. Continuing the Taste Test- A Pop Up Restaurant Series presents Forno Bova. The concept of Forno Bova is primarily centered around wood fired pizzas. At this taste test , a 3 - course is priced at $18. First course is a salad composed of nutty field greens dressed with a vinagrette that was rather aggressively seasoned with raw garlic. I will add, I absolutely love garlic,but the amount added to the dressing was a bit much to my liking. The second course manage to change the direction, happily. A wood-fired ricotta blessed with a tangy, cranberry compote saved this meal . The texture of the ricotta is remincent of summer pudding. Soft, & dence with a nice smoke from the wood fire stove. The flavors of the second course led up to the great finale. I opted for the Pistacio. The Pistachio tasted like Christmas. A thin crust topped with fresh mozzarella, roasted pistachios , red onion, garlic oil,and dotted with pines of rosemary. I could have ordered a traditional Marguerite, but I always lean toward unusual choices. I was not disappointed. The composition of the Pistachio was a delicious surprise. In my opinion,at a great deal for less than $20, the Pop up has been a success. Until another Pop -up, kat
  18. Yay!!! Welcome Rextopher!! This communty is a great place to be, & beacon for all things DC. You'll find the forum very helpful. I no longer reside in the District, but started this thread as a means to meet others that loved food as much as I do. I hope this cite proves to be valuable to you as it has to me. Welcome!!! kat
  19. Hi Daniel!! I am eating my way through Central Pa!! I will be in town on NYE to celebrate one's retirement!! Please join me!
  20. Upon your recommendation, I will read Shipping out. After completion, I will proceed to ask you what makes him one of your hereos, unless of course it appears obvious. well read, kat
  21. About Diemo Productions -Robert Rice, Jr --- Enlisting a little help from my friends for a group of guys that really deserve it. Wonders never cease to amaze me how much talent , and passion that Im blessed to be around. The team behind Diemo is prime example of it. I recently watched a short on a death ritual that is practiced ceremoniously in the indigenous region of the Philippines. Bogwa-a film on Globalization,and Cultural Survival among the Ifugao of the Philippines was beautiful curated,but left me wanting to know more about the tribe. The team wants to go back to pick up where they left off, but as artists, they rely heavily of grants to cover their expenses. They have hit grant roadblocks. As a dear friend of one of the founders of Diemo, I am asking for help. What resources, or foundations could these guys tap into to apply for grants,or funding of any means. Any direction will greatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any input from the forum. Grateful, kat
  22. A great explanation of the ,"Pop-Up-Taste Test Kitchen", taken place here in York. "York's 'Taste Test' Is Growing, Gaining New Home" by David O'Connor on cpbj.com
