Nationals Park Gluten-Free Options and Review (2019)

As summer revs up here in DC with heat, humidity, and wicked afternoon storms making their presence known, one of the few saving graces of this time of year is plenty of opportunities to take in a baseball game at Nationals Park, arguably one of the best ballparks to take in America’s pastime.  I’m by no means a sports person, but I do try to make it out to the park […]

Flower Child Review

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, […]

Chaia Tacos Review

Now that I’ve finally caught up with my London reviews (with a few more yet to come), I was excited to turn my sights back stateside and resume exploring gluten-free eats in my own backyard.  Whenever anyone asks me about where to eat out in Washington DC, Chaia Tacos is more often than not my first recommendation. With an entirely gluten-free menu and innovative take on vegetarian tacos that is […]

Jaleo Review (Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week Menu)

Here in DC, Jose Andres is one of the district’s most beloved residents. Not only are his restaurants excellent and very allergy-friendly (I’ve reviewed Oyamel, Jaleo, and China Chilcano), but Andres is the founder of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit organization to empower and strengthen communities around the world with education, training, and social enterprise.  Of his many restaurants, Jaleo is definitely a crown jewel, and features an exciting menu of […]

Little Sesame Review

If you are a hummus-lover, this review is especially for you, because DC’s Little Sesame elevates the middle eastern spread from a grocery-aisle staple to the star of the show.  Located in the bustling Golden Triangle neighborhood (in the former home of Veloce, may it rest in peace), Little Sesame brings a decidedly different take on the current fast-casual bowl craze. With a fun and inviting space and focus on real, artfully […]

Momo Yakitori Review

After doing quite a bit of travel to New York City recently, I have definitely been looking forward to pay renewed attention to gluten-free eats in my home city of Washington DC this month.  As it happened, the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s (RAMW) winter restaurant week, occurring right in the middle of January, was the perfect excuse to seek out new eats in the new year. The beauty of RAMW restaurant […]

Ambar Review

Although I am celebrating my one year anniversary of becoming an official Washingtonian, I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t been as adventurous lately with exploring my city’s food scene. Wanting to break out of my usual routine and comfort zone, I was excited when my mom came to visit recently, because it provided an opportunity to get out and explore. For a year now, I’ve heard absolutely glowing reviews for […]

Leon Review (USA)

For my gluten-free, dairy-free review of Leon in the United Kingdom, click here. Eating gluten-free has definitely gotten easier over the years, especially as I live in Washington DC with lots of fast casual and full service restaurant options for gluten-free dining. If there’s one category of restaurant I miss though, it’s fast food.  Yeah, it has a bad rap for not being healthy in the least (and very gluten-heavy), but […]

Gorsha Ethiopian Eatery Review

When people ask me for recommendations about what to do or see in Washington DC, I cannot recommend Union Market enough. This foodie wonderland is a feast for the senses, with cuisines from around the world represented by the many micro-eateries and there are always pop up shops and art that make each visit memorable. On a recent visit, I decided to stop by Gorsha, an Ethiopian eatery that I have walked by, but […]
