Busboys and Poets Brunch Review

When people ask me for restaurant recommendations in Washington D.C., Busboys and Poets is usually my first suggestion because it has a perfect trifecta of great food, friendly staff, and an great line up of programs that inspire conversation and connection.  Although I have frequented Busboys and Poets several times for lunch and dinner, I have yet to visit for brunch, so I was sure to put it at the top […]

China Chilcano Review

When I think of the Washington D.C. foodie scene, there are two things I know for sure:  Washingtonians love to go brunching on the weekends; and Chef Jose Andres and his menagerie of restaurants are a hometown favorite. As a foodie with dietary restrictions, I have even more reason to love Andres’ restaurants beyond their creative menus and consistently delicious food because they across the board know how to accommodate food […]

China Chilcano Allergy Menus

This is a post featuring the allergen menus of China Chilcano. To read my full review, click here.  As a Washington D.C.-based foodie, I am a huge fan of our hometown super chef Jose Andres. His restaurants are innovative, creative, and are consistently stellar when dealing with food allergies. With restaurants ranging from fast casual to high end, there’s a Jose Andres restaurant for any budget. Recently I decided to check out China Chilcano, Andres’ restaurant […]

Beau Thai Review

One of the truly great things about Washington D.C. is that you can find just about any type of food from around the world here. I love any type of non-American food (and it’s usually more gluten-free friendly), but until recently have not sought out Thai food in the District.  Thai food is my favorite of the Asian cuisines because it is just so flavorful and comforting. I love curries […]

Stall 11 Brunch Review (R. House Baltimore)

Baltimore is a nice playground for gluten-free foodies, with plenty of great options around town. One of my favorite new foodie hot spots in the city is R. House, which is home to ten up and coming food concepts from local chefs. I have been once before, but have been woefully negligent in my food blogger duties by not return to seek out more gluten-free options at the food hall. […]

Sleepy Bee Cafe Review

In the holiday week between Christmas and New Year, I was able to return to Cincinnati, Ohio to celebrate the end of the year with my family. I visited Cincinnati earlier this year and really enjoyed exploring their foodie offerings. On this return visit, I couldn’t wait to continue exploring.  On the recommendation of my cousin and sister, we decided to go out for breakfast one morning at Sleepy Bee […]

True Food Kitchen Review

Click here to read my updated review of True Food Kitchen’s Chevy Chase, MD location from January 2020.  After spending some time in North Carolina over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I found myself in Atlanta a day before flying back home. With a little time to explore, I decided to check out True Food Kitchen at the Lennox Mall. The restaurant is a chain that promotes real, good food as a way […]

Friedman's Lunch Review (Chelsea Market)

The last time I was in New York City my family stopped for lunch at Friedman’s Harold Square, which totally impressed all of us for their tasty fare and prime location near Penn Station. On my final day in the city, I visited another of their locations- this one at historic Chelsea Market near the meatpacking district. Having enjoyed several lunches and dinners during my visit, my mom and wanted […]

King Daddy's Chicken and Waffles Review

Although my childhood was spent in the Midwest, I really grew up when my family moved to Florida late in my elementary school career. Despite moving to the part of the country where sweet tea is as readily available as water and it’s normal to pair fried chicken with waffles, I must admit I was never, and am still not really, a fan of Southern cuisine. Cornbread I am a-okay with […]

Uptown Towson Gluten & Dairy-Free Finds (La Cakerie and Cunningham's Cafe and Bakery)

Although I love exploring the Baltimore area, this semester has been the busiest one yet, which has limited my opportunities to get out and about. Luckily, a foodie friend invited me to adventure around uptown Towson, which offered a nice array of shops and restaurants to explore.  During our stroll, we stopped by La Cakerie and Cunningham’s Cafe and Bakery, two restaurants that I knew had gluten-free options, but had […]
