The Best Plates of 2018
With 2018 winding down, I’m thinking back to all of my favorite things I ate this year including dumplings, steak tartare, sunchokes and a toasted marshmallow.
Recipe: Powerhouse Chicken and Veggie Sandwich with SunButter Dressing
Even though I’m no longer in school, September to me is still ‘back to routine’. And I settle back into my routine of cooking more and bringing lunches to work right after Labor Day. But whatever I’m in the mood to make, #GiantHasIt. I’m very much a ‘go […]
Downtown: Ono Poke
Poke bowls are one of my favorite things to eat for lunch. They’re super light and refreshing and lead to a really satisfying healthy meal. Recently, I’ve been working from home more often and I’ve been using my lunch break to try new places for a quick bite. […]
Indianapolis, IN: Rook
When I was planning where I wanted to eat in Indy, of course I consulted one of my good friends, Taylor from Stylishly Taylored who had recently visited. She raved about dinner at Rook so I knew I had to fit it into my schedule. I went for […]
Fairfax, VA: Jinya Ramen Bar
Give me a big bowl of noodles and I am happy. So when Jinya Ramen Bar invited me to visit their Fairfax location, I was ecstatic. The menu has over ten different varieties of ramen plus some small plates and snacks that sounded delicious. The Fairfax location is […]
Recipe: Seared Tuna over Avocado Wasabi Puree
Have you heard of Ocean Box? It’s a fresh fish delivery service so you can get sustainable sourced fish delivered to your home weekly. I had the opportunity to order a box and I could not have been happier with the quality of the fish I received.
Mount Vernon: Cafe Andamiro
Cafe Andamiro has been on my radar for quite some time now. This cute Mount Vernon cafe opened up about a year ago and it looks like the perfect spot to grab a quick bite. On one of those lovely Sunday mornings we have been having, I found […]
City Center, D.C.: Momofuku
David Chang has built a restaurant empire with the Momofuku restaurants and fortunately there’s one in D.C. that of course I’ve made it a point to visit. My girlfriend and I went over the summer, and when one of my friends got a glimpse of my instagram story, […]
Remington: Be.bim
In my never-ending quest to try everything in Baltimore, I found myself at R. House for dinner and in the mood to visit a stall and hadn’t yet been to. Be.bim, the Korean stall, was one of the few I hadn’t tried yet. I love the food at […]
Richmond, VA: Sen – Organic Small Plate
On cold days like we have been having recently, there are few things as comforting to me as a warm bowl of soup. I spent the day walking around Carytown in Richmond (there are so many cute stores to check out!) And obviously worked up an appetite. My mom […]
