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…

Haagen-Dazs, Kentlands Gaithersburg MD
Another big brand, little shoot courtesy of corporate overlords that went smoothly in the Kentlands area that I have covered extensively in the prior years. Lets look into a Haagen-Dazs location: Typical, clean interior showcasing the ice-cream, shakes, and cakes right away with a couple little tables and chairs. Most of the cold goodies were…

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 –…

New Speakeasy – Code Red, Adams Morgan DC
Code Red is a brand new speakeasy right at the top of Adams Morgan and this is a flavor majority of DC needs more of!

Le Tried and Le True – Vie De France Bakery & Cafe, Potomac MD
Once upon a time I got to shoot one of my old, global faves that I discovered well before even picking up a camera, and the one you’ve all seen in just about any major city or area – Vie De France. The location I got to cover was not my original find, but it…

La Prensa Tacos & Tapas, Nokes Plaza, Sterling VA
La Prensa Tacos & Tapas is one of the more rare, chic, yet not pretentious tapas places and right off the bat I recommend checking them out. The shoot was done perfectly and I got to see a good half the menu or so march before me and everything looked absolutely on-point. The drinks have…

Arirang Hill Cary Out, Columbia MD
Arirang Hill Cary Out was a surprisingly solid little carryout despite the stigma that these kinds of places have in my book after doing one thousand too many and generally seeing far too few in between that are good. Reviews for Arirang do not lie! The nice added bonus is some Korean flavor added to…

Vini Culture Wine Bar, Frederick MD – closed
Vini was my last stop after a LONG day traveling far and wide, and it was a cute wine spot that did some bites with a relaxed chic atmosphere. Seeing how they’re no longer in business today I’m not terribly surprised since they were along the lines of a froufrou cupcake shop on the outskirt…

Mad Cow Grill, Laurel MD
Mad Cow Grill instantly became my fave little spot for pit stops between shoots and especially location to end my days with after the initial of the two shoots. This place had a creative decor akin to a ranch, very nice booth setups, really good-looking murals, and great bartenders on top of solid selection of…

Addis Paris Cafe, Washington DC
Addis Paris Cafe was a real treat of a shoot because I wouldn’t expect to see Ethiopian and French fusion on a small scale like a cafe, but here it was in the Mt Pleasant area.

Kyoto Matcha, Rockville Town Center MD
Kyoto Matcha was a superb shoot with lots of creative approaches to cakes – layered pancake, cakes? Towel cakes that really look like folded towels? Definitely a sight to see and taste!

Le Bledo Bakery and Cafe, Springfield VA
Le Bledo Bakery and Cafe is a nice little Vietnamese place with all sorts of dishes and desserts. If you can’t find it here, it probably does not exist in the area. Napoleon cake? And the awesome Vietnamese ice coffee will surely satisfy your dessert craving after having one of their bahn-mi’s.
