Jerk-It-Baby Food Inc, Food Truck, Germantown MD
Jerk-It-Baby is a solid, Jamaican food truck located right by the Sunoco off of Middlebrook road exit 13 off of 270N. Overall solid takeout with nice, hard-working staff serving delicious, classic Jamaican fare. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here, especially the jerk pork!

Chit Chaat Cafe, inside Mobil1 Vienna, VA
Well this place was a surprising treat to say the least thanks to chef Tihara’s warm hospitality and quick prep of the dishes. They have a sign outside that helps notice that the spot is inside the Mobil1 gas station, and I have done loads of similar setups that are almost impossible to find when…

Doing A Ghost Kitchen Right – DisBe Good DC, Ivy City Food Works, Washington DC
And of course the name was Disbe Good, not Desbe Good like the corpos passed down to me….so very typical for a desk jockey that can’t even seem to google anything right….. This crew with the owner, Phil, at the helm do an amazing Africa-inspired takeout plates with both proper, juicy, and tender suya, as…

Basil’s Pizza Subs & More, Gaithersburg MD
Basil’s Pizza Subs & More is an old, great spot right next to IHOP (one of which I have shot before), and also the same little plaza where I bought my most recent mobile billboard last year! This shoot was very pleasant and the food was great! They really have a variety of cuisines that…

Bowls To Go Go – Yum Yum Hibachi, Ashburn VA
Yum Yum Hibachi is a brand new spot in a semi-odd-and-end area of the already odd-and-end Ashburn, but that is definitely to their advantage of having businesses to feed without the usual packed competition of all the strip malls around. Owners are very upbeat and enthusiastic, listening to their customers and serving them very well.…

DosiRock, Lexington Market Balmore MD – Bibimbap Your Way
DosiRock was a nice shoot in your typical, zero work room for a shoot, market section setup, and at the very least everything looked really good! All hands were on deck and all the items came out in a good and timely manner, so my only complaint with this one was having to sit for…

Dairy Queen, VA
DQ shoot in a relatively random spot in VA befell my hands as well, as that was timed at a wild, wild time of day and lighting involved.

Cowboys and Gunslingers, Adams Morgan Washington DC – story
This was an interesting shadow kitchen shoot to say the least – not operated out of your typical common kitchen and having to rub shoulders with another version of myself working for another delivery corpo, all done in an absolute bare minimum of table space. And a cutting board on a window sill is sometimes…
-
Heavenly Wings, Exxon Food Truck, Silver Spring MD
This was a neat shoot because of the backstory for this, now, series of food trucks as well as the normal sized wings they used to my surprise back in the day. And after one incident at a sports bar in Baltimore with a clearly half cooked jumbo wing that pretty much had all of…

Markey’s Munchery, Food Truck, Alexandria VA
Markey’s Munchery is a cool food truck semi-permanently parked in a lot of a Home Depot right off 236 closer to the middle of Alexandria. Absolutely brilliant idea to always get steady business with hearty American fare done up creatively and well. He even had some tables available to boot! Great shoot, cool spot, and…
-
Shirlington Halal Pizza Restaurant, Shirlington VA
Shirlington Halal Pizza I got to shoot several times over the years and they’re actually really good, probably due to being in a fairly random location and qualify as a hole in a wall with a tiny window sill of a workspace/table. Definitely recommend this place if you happen to pass by them.

Shin Shin Carry Out, District Heights MD
Shin Shin is your standard Chinese-American carryout not too far from 495 in District Heights, MD. Nothing special and the pretty plates didn’t do a great job of hiding mediocre-at-best excuse for a cheesesteak and raw shrimp on clearly picturesque dishes with them. Not my first time seeing these shenanigans, but not the worst. At…

Taste of Chad Catering, Washington DC
Taste of Chad is a unique catering service in the DC area that focuses on Chadian cuisine – mid-Northern African mix. Fresh ingredients in very interesting new dishes compared to the rest around. www.tasteofchad.com Nice and easy shoot and a chance to see something new.

America’s Best Wings, MD
We all know America’s “Best” Wings franchise and I’ve shot quite a few locations over the years. As with such, quality varies, presentation varies, but the shoots are generally nice and quick although quite a few are very reluctant to prep food and attempt to run customer orders through me in the back, which is…
-
Sammiches Catering, Upper Marlboro MD
A spacious restaurant and catering company in between auto repair shops, Sammiches Catering offers far more than just sammiches and all of it is pretty good. Prices are just right too! These kinds of mom and pop shops in industrial parks are a brilliant idea in my book, and usually the shoots go well just…
