Problem Child, Navy Yard, DC
Located at 1201 Half St SE, Washington, DC 20003, literally across and a few steps from the Nationals Park lies Problem Child – an amazing and unassuming bar with a very simple food menu that’s executed to perfection. The interior is classic and cozy, with extra points from me for having Stranger Things decor lingering…

Like a Living Conveyor Belt – Charles Town Family Diner, Charles Town WV
I love small town diners that manage to keep their almost-rustic charms. I like seeing huge menus that work for all tastes and times of day when they don’t overwhelm the kitchen. I can enjoy spacious places with several nooks to let people settle into the atmosphere they would prefer. I always appreciate friendly staff…

Jezza’s Halal Food, Washington DC
Jezza’s Halal Food is a tiny spot in south area of Petworth neighborhood of DC and offers a tame selection of good food as well as smoothies and coffee. The kicker here is that Jezza’s is but a few doors down from one of the absolute best little spots in town for authentic Spanish cuisine…

Franconia Pizza, Alexandria VA
Franconia Pizza shoot was another one I got to take a close friend along for the ride to, and 495 being an absolute nightmare for no good reason turned a potential 35 minute of a commute into over-an-hour each way with no thanks to the 4pm appointment time that I absolutely loathe any time I…

Bebop Korean-Mexican Grill, Haymarket VA
Had the pleasure of shooting Bebop grill the other day, and aside from the absolutely miserable commute to and from there that was courtesy of a sprinkle of rain and the usual awful driving in DMV, the shoot went very smoothly. Bebop is a modern Asian-Latin fusion spot that’s also halal – a definitely curious…

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…

Sally’s Cafe, Sterling VA
Sally’s Cafe was a very nice spot not terribly far from Dulles International Airport and located in this business park sort of close to Pacific Boulevard. The food choices here range from American to Greek and Mediterranean and are all very, very good! The shoot was very good as well.

The Eleanor DC, Washington DC
The Eleanor DC was a fantastic shoot at a casually swanky spot right under the crossing of New York and Florida Ave NE, about a click from the Union Market where I’ve done my share of work over the years. Atmosphere, staff, and food here were on point!

Bar Elena, H Street NE, Washington DC
Bar Elena is a very nice little spot on H Street not too far from Union Station that I shot a few years ago, and it looks like they’re still kicking pretty strong. This shoot was excellent and the dishes here were fantastic! This place has a multi-cuisine fusion that is all done just right.…

Ashton Family Restaurant, Manassas VA
Ashton Family Restaurant was a pleasant shoot in a very nice and classic kind of spot right outside of inner downtown Manassas, VA.

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!

How a Gas Station Ought To Be – G T’s Handimart, Highfield-Cascade MD
Whenever I write about shoots that took place a while back, I check up on the oogle with a G to see their current state of affairs, possible closures, and so on, so seeing that G T’s Handimart has changed hands to a slew of not-so-stellar recent reviews saddens me since this place was absolutely…

Cozy and American – Atlantic Grille, Urbana MD
Atlantic Grille was a pleasant morning gig away from traffic bottle necks and that alone pleased me to no end. This place was buzzing in the morning and knew about my arrival, which seems to be more of a rare occurrence as of last few years contrary to what it should be, but hey –…

St. Veg, Rockville MD
My second time here and this place remains the very same as a couple years ago – all sorts of vegetarian ideas made into pretty familiar dishes with a nice Asian twist to them.

Simple with a Twist – Boxcar Burgers, Frederick MD
Had the pleasure of shooting this little spot, finally not smack middle of the tiny, but busy downtown Frederick, MD, and it was a pleasure! They’re a local 2-store chain with another location in Brunswick, MD, and do quality, local meat offerings with nice, subtle twists like pickled beets on their signature burger – While…
