More IS Better – Rocky’s Pizza Spring Mills, Martinsburg WV
Now this ended up being quite the adventure….in a very good way! I had Rocky’s Pizza shoot following 2 other shoots that both ended up rescheduling (a sad, “yay” more than anything since corpos barely even cover cancellations anymore) that day; however, Rocky’s played ball and were perfectly fine bumping this shoot up a couple…

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…

Mamma Lucia Iverson Mall, Hillcrest Heights MD – Seemingly It’s Own Thing
This one was quite the interesting excursion, since Mamma Lucia “Italan Eatery” or “Mamma Lucia Pizza & Italian Food” here in Iverson Mall of Hillcrest Heights, MD, does not seem to be part of the very-well known local chain also called Mamma Lucia. The websites look completely different, with the Mamma Lucia I visited sporting…

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…

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…

Again, and Again, and again – 1600 Kitchen, Tysons Corner VA
Seems like 1600 Kitchen is potentially temporarily closed at the moment, but boy have I shot there a LOT. This was perhaps the single place I’ve been back to the most in my entire career and I’ve seen them go through menu changes, possibly management change, and was received differently almost every time. This cafe…

Angelo’s Pizza Pasta and Deli, North Rockville, MD
I finally got to shoot Angelo’s Pizza Pasta & Deli that resides on the crossing of Georgia Ave and Norbeck Road almost into Olney, and sits in a tiny shopping area with The Big Greek Cafe and one of my very, very early shoots – EaThai Restaurant. Besides hot and fresh Italian dishes, Angelo’s also…

Gallery Cafe by Chef Bismarck, Dulles Metro Center, Herndon VA
Gallery Cafe was a rush from shooting Miss Toya’s with all the usual and favorite bits like the DC out loop traffic and everything, but I made it right on time and even managed to find this elusive little cafe on the P1 floor of the Dulles Metro Center building. And boy oh boy was…

Amante Pizza & Pasta, Sykseville MD
Amante Pizza & Pasta was a lovely shoot with nice mild twisty roads leading there and back to keep the boredom of usual interstate or betlway traffic away from me for a change. This place is of the few little food spots for a few miles off of 97 and across from High’s gas station,…

Parlay’s Replacement – Blue Moon, Dupont Circle DC
It’s been eons since I’ve been down on M street NW in DC, and last place I shot here from what I recall was Bub and Pops, but this post is about a new hookah lounge called Blue Moon DC. Not to be confused with Baltimore’s Blue Moon Cafe, which is an excellent spot in…

Old Birthday Work Bash – Double T Diner, Perry Hall MD
Quick finale to my mini-series of places I’ve shot on one of my past birthdays, and I lucked out with everything being pretty close to one another too, with Double T being the last push north. Double T is your classic American diner to the T – all the expected favorites and then some, Steak…

Old Birthday Work Bash – C&R Pub, Towson MD
Here comes a mini-series of places I’ve shot on one of my past birthdays, and I lucked out with everything being pretty close to one another too! C&R Pub was my first stop – solid sports pub in Towson, MD, with all your usual favorites like, Your finger food served on checkered wax paper, and…

Manny & Olga’s Pizza, MD and DC
We all know Manny & Olga’s and I got to shoot them a few times at different locations, and they are absolutely worth it over national chains!

Irish-Latin Fusion – Sully’s Pour House, Herndon VA
Sully’s Pour House was definitely a memorable shoot because this was the first time I’ve seen Irish and Latin cuisine intertwine properly without taking too many American detours typical for a bar menu. And one of the very few times I was presented some Xangos as a dessert over typical churros or tres leches.
