One of the best times of the year for DC-area foodies are local restaurant weeks, where DMV eateries roll out the red carpet and offer prix fixe menus that showcase seasonal flavors for a special price. I always keep a close eye to what’s on offer for restaurant weeks in Bethesda and DC, and when I spotted True Food Kitchen’s menus, I immediately made reservations. I’ve encountered True Food Kitchen once before, […]
One thing I love about living in Washington, DC is that our fast casual dining scene is always expanding. With each new restaurant that comes to the city, the bar is set ever higher for culinary creativity at an accessible price point. I was thrilled when I heard the health-conscious chain Flower Child would open in Foggy Bottom in February, but didn’t have a chance to stop by until now, […]
And just like that, 2018 is in the books. I seem to say this every year, but I can’t believe just how fast (and at times how slow) this year has gone. As years go, this one was marked by change, as I started a new job and completed a full year as a resident of Washington, DC. I didn’t think it was possible to fall deeper in love with […]
Flying back to Orlando briefly for my sister’s graduation, I was looking forward to celebrating after the ceremony at Brio Tuscan Grill. Although I have reviewed many gluten-free friendly Italian restaurants in my years as a food blogger, I have not yet had a chance to dine at this chain. In taking a preliminary glance of Brio’s gluten-free menu, I was excited to see several entree options (including gluten-free pasta). As […]
Knowing that my weekend trip to New York was going to be short and sweet, I made sure to squeeze as much sightseeing as I could into my visit- food-centered and otherwise. Knowing that I had tickets for a matinee and evening Broadway show on Saturday, I decided to spend my morning near Times Square exploring the magnificent New York Public Library in Bryant Park. For my lunch destination between the library […]
Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant is a chain that I have heard quite a buzz about in the gluten-free world. I’ve read other bloggers’ glowing reviews and have seen positive reports on Find Me Gluten Free, a website and app I use religiously. That being said, I approached this dining experience at Cooper’s Hawk with dread, because I have eaten there once before (years ago) and it was one of the worst dining experiences […]
While visiting Cincinnati over the President’s Day weekend, my grandparents wanted to go out for dinner with my dad and me. After some searching, we decided that Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Kenwood would be a good place to go out because they had an expansive gluten-free menu and lots of choices for the gluten, and non-gluten eaters in our party. When I arrived our waiter brought out the restaurant’s […]
Subs. Hoagies. Heros. Submarine sandwich. Whatever you call them, they’re really hard to find gluten-free options at sub shops, much less find one that knows how to prepare them safely (shared knives and counters are a cross contamination danger zone!). In my six years of going gluten-free, I have never found a place where I could walk in and order a sub and reclaim the normal experience I so enjoyed […]
As a gluten and dairy-free diner, I meticulously research restaurant options whenever I know I will be dining out. Most of the restaurants I visit are selected from this process, but in the case of Viva Chicken in Charlotte, NC, my decision to dine there was based purely on a whim. I was visiting North Carolina for the holidays, and my mom and I were out running errands after Christmas. We had already […]
In the past few weeks I’ve let pending reviews pile up, because I have been in the midst of graduating college and moving to DC in addition to the usual stressors of the holiday season. Now that the pace of life has slowed a bit, I am excited to share a new foodie find I discovered in my last week as a Maryland resident: Grabbagreen. While Grabbagreen can be categorized […]
