WBJ is reporting that Ben’s Chili Bowl and Ledo’s will be available this season at RFK. Considering that the only event I plan on going to at RFK in the next year is the Penn State vs. Indiana Football game, this is not a huge deal for me. I am a big fan of Ben’s Chili Bowl, but the Ben’s you get at the National’s game is no where near as good as the Ben’s you get over on U Street.

We recently went to CoCo Sala for brunch – in two words – chocolate heaven. It is an upscale, classy version Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory without the creepy Oompa-Loompas.

Due to the overwhelming response I received from the lovely folks at Taste Spotting, I decided to post the Lamb recipe I used for my Family Dinner. When I was typing up this recipe, I realized that I had not followed the instructions set forth in the Ad Hoc Cookbook, so I posted the way I made the lamb chops, I am sure if you purchased the cookbook and followed the instructions to the letter, that they would turn out even better. This is a phenomenal cookbook, I can’t recommend it more highly. Go buy it, now.

Boccato Gelato in Clarendon is ridiculously good. With the addition of Red Mango, Clarendon has had some serious ice cream upgrades since, the departure of Lazy Sundae. Every Food Fits did a lengthy interview with the owner, a few items of note a second location will be opening in Old Town in July at the intersection of King and Patrick, further expansion is being considered for Bethesda and Georgetown, and the featured flavor in May will be Chocolate and Guinness to celebrate their two-year anniversary!

Matzoh Ball Soup and Brisket are the comfort foods of the jewish people, ( so are corned beef, pastrami, hamentaschen, knishes, and …, well, our people like to eat). This is the brisket recipe that I grew up with. It could not be easier to prepare, just a few simple ingredients and it turns out great every time. I think the brisket is best when it has a chance to sit overnight after it has been cooked, and then reheated the next day.

Turns out a lot of things on a typical Korean BBQ menu start with B.
Turns out a lot of things on a typical Korean BBQ menu start with B.
Last weekend I had my father in town and I’ve been dying to take him out for bulgogi at Han Sung Oak (6341 Columbia Pike Falls Church, VA 22041 - (703) 642-0808). Mainly I wanted to see the look of awe on his face as they bring bowl after bowl of banchan, the Korean version of food accoutrements, out to the table. They did not disappoint.
We started off by trying out an appetizer sampler of fried meatballs, grilled breaded shrimp, beef stuffed green peppers and fish pancakes. I have to say, this will be left off my order next time. Nothing particularly wrong with any of the items but with the intense flavors typical of this cuisine, these were rather bland.
Next up- Bibimbap aka Rice Salad. This was excellent. Cripsy rice, bulgolgi meat, lots of veggies and a fried egg all mixed up with a delicious spicy red sauce. A definite must have for any Korean BBQ visit.

- Spider Kelly’s acknowledges on DonRockwell.com, some growing pains for their newly expanded bar. The new space is amazing, but it will take some time for the kitchen to keep up with the increased volume.
- Earl’s Sandwich’s get written up in the Post as one of the best sandwich shops in DC. I have been twice in the last week, they make a damn good sandwich.

An Open Letter to DC Food Trucks
by Chad on March 31, 2010
Your food provides a welcome addition to the DC Food Scene, and all week you deal with traffic, crowded city streets, smog, noise, it must be stressful for you and your food trucks.
Here’s an idea, on the weekends, why don’t you take your delicious food out to the country for some fresh air. I suggest you drive your truck through the golf courses in the DC area and provide some much-needed nourishment to hungry golfers. Unfortunately, the food on the golf course drink carts, is not nearly attractive as the women selling the food. This is a win-win for everyone, golfers get better food, you get some new business and some fresh air.
Sound like a plan?
