I love food. I have never understood people who don’t get excited about their meals and trying new places and things. I often peruse menus weeks before I try new places and start to plan exactly what I am going to eat (sad, but true)! Although many people believe that Washington’s food scene is subpar I argue that things have dramatically changed in the last few years and we have many gems that can hold their own against some of the best restaurants out there.

I love exploring the DC food scene and normally make it to new restaurants within the first week of their opening. I also love to travel so I hope to infuse some recommendations from other locations every once in awhile. I am really passionate about good food experiences so I am excited to share my raves with a broader audience.

Favorite Things: All things Italian (I’m Jewish but I swear I was meant to be born to a large Sicilian family), Prosecco, Falanghina, pappa al pomodoro and pasta. I also love brussel sprouts and mussels.

Favorite DC Restaurants: Posto, Zaytinya, Rasika, Acqua Al 2, Brabo Tasting Room, Sei, Oyamel, Brasserie Beck.

The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Melanzane alla Parmigiana from Mamma Gina’s in Florence. Melts in your mouth. Borgo San Jacopo (right over the Ponte Vecchio). You will not be disappointed. http://www.mammagina.it/

Favorite non-D.C. dining experience in 2011: Marea and Babbo in NYC. Alinea in Chicago.
