    CarterQue BBQ & Grilling Co, Mount Airy MD

    CarterQue BBQ was a very fun and prompt shoot some years ago in a very cozy spot out of the hustle and bustle of Germantown, Maryland. Staff were all fantastic and the food was fully proper and I absolutely recommend stopping by there if you’re passing by that little nook of the area!

    Boy have I heard, “oops, we forgot, and don’t have proper plates…,” number of times before, and I even had one random fried chicken place bail on the shoot because no one notified them that nice plates are WELL above my corpo pay grade, hahaha. China Sea crew, on the other hand, ran next door…

  • Bar J Chili Parlor, Occoquan Historic District, VA

    Bar J Chili Parlor, Occoquan Historic District, VA

    Bar J Chili Parlor was a pleasant end to one of my past BUSY days and I gotta give them credit for fusing Tex-Mex and some southern bbq ideas together as well as things like the chili spaghetti they call mac. The place itself was cozy and spacious – perfect for a happy hour with…

  • Taste of Hong Kong, Chantilly VA

    Taste of Hong Kong, Chantilly VA

    Taste of Hong Kong was one of the few proper Chinese places I’ve shot and I love seeing these huge restaurants instead of Americanized takeouts with completely different taste and literally the same old 5 dishes they’d want to present via my work. Everything here tasted really good too!

  • Wild Fire Pit Beef, Joppatowne MD

    Wild Fire Pit Beef, Joppatowne MD

    This place was a food truck that was an absolute reschedule hell with total of 4 times to eventually get 4 little shmeaty buns plinked off. This was the record holder for putting things off like nothing else.

    Kogiya was a lunch with a friend after doing some non-culinary picture work, but why not shoot some footage for the blog while I have my gear with me, right? This was a nice spot and a better quality than the all-you-can-eat spots that on average use worse grades of meat to compensate for volume.

  • Krazy Steve’s Comfort Cuisine, Silver Spring MD

    Krazy Steve’s Comfort Cuisine, Silver Spring MD

    Pretty sure everyone in the area knows Krazy Steve’s and I got to cover them twice! Very lax and darker vibes weren’t exactly my friends here, along with tiny windows, but I made due and the food definitely looked comfortable.

    Lincoln’s Bar-B-Que is a no-frills barbecue restaurant in the heart of downtown silver spring, MD, that serves all your favorite meats cooked to perfection and some other interesting bites like their Fritos-based nachos served right out of a Fritos bag (a real hook up)! This was a fantastic shoot, but the place got booted from…

  • Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Vienna VA

    Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Vienna VA

    Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a nice, traditional barbecue chain where all the fresh meats are served with hearty sides on aluminum trays and paper that will help soak up part of the delicious mess. Nice smaller chain spot which usually means one of my most important factors – everything is efficient and streamlined, just the…

    Backyard Barbeque is a cozy spot in Arlington, VA for all your barbeque meat needs and even some healthy options like salsa and salads. Highly recommend this place.

  • Schmidt’s Barbecue, Leesburg VA – A Proper Backyard Barby

    Schmidt’s Barbecue, Leesburg VA – A Proper Backyard Barby

    Schmidt’s barbecue is a literal hole-in-a-wall gem with a much bigger, proper, and relaxing backyard seating area with it’s own bar and even a grill in the downtown Leesburg area. Food is the most excellent down to the sauces and quality of the shmeat, and staff is upbeat and welcoming. This was a part of…

    This was a very nice little new place that doubles up as a normal cafe – sandwiches, coffee, etc, in a huge office building across the beltway and away from the mall’s riff raff. Owners naturally forgot about the shoot, but like proper business folk quickly whipped up the 10 dishes I needed and sent…

    Amazing barbecue spot in the heart of Bethesda. If you’re in the mood for a barbie, as Australians would call it, and some beer, then this place is the spot! Highly recommended. Another easy and straight-forward gig thanks to business savvy owners and staff to facilitated everything perfectly.

    On the edge of Olde Kensignton and Fishtown in Philly is Fette Sau- an amazing whiskey bar and smoke house. The meat is to die for, just like it did for you! Highly recommend this place! Definitely enjoyed shooting bbq for the first time and how quick these places tend to be since entire dinner…
