Elena James All Day, Chevy Chase MD
What a fantastic discovery was Elena James All Day! Weather and parking odds were stacked against me this day, and arriving way too early got me to peruse a nearby Amazon Fresh’s ice-cold AC as well as peruse some of their grocery pricing along with my friend in tow while we waited for my appointment…

Showroom, Frederick MD
As soon as I looked up where this place was, I got a familiar feeling and my gut sense was on-point – Showroom took over the space of the sadly closed, and VERY good old Family Meal that used to be a car dealership space completely revamped into an upscale fried chicken spot. So, what…

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…

La Bamba Restaurant, Silver Spring MD – closed
This was one of the more rare Guatemalan spots that has sadly shut down, and that’s a real shame because they had some nice and unique Latin dishes to the standard Mexican fare we’re used to seeing everywhere.

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…

Galito’s Flame Grilled Chicken, Gaithersburg MD – Nando’s Competition
Last year, Galito’s was a very pleasant surprise for me because not only did I not expect a proper competitor to Nando’s Peri Peri to show up this soon, but for it to be right around my home base? Most excellent! So what’s this all about? Another charbroiled or rotisserie chicken? Not at all. Galito’s…

Release the Craycken, Annandale VA – story
Now Craycken was one helluva gig because it wrapped up a long ongoing story of corpo slop I’ve dealt with all summer that year. I get to the place and the owner immediately says “Hey, you’re actually here!” “Well, of course I’m here, I never miss a shoot,” I replied and that kicked off the…

Leon, Washington DC
Got to shoot first Leon location on the east coast, or at least DC, and it was here that by their marketing grapevine did I learn what corpo delivery sales made in their cushy desk jobs that absolutely pissed me off knowing how carelessly they do them. Leon itself was a good shoot with their…

Slash Run, Washington DC
Slash Run is a real treasure of a hair-metal styled whiskey bar and restaurant in Northwest, DC. Not only do they serve Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, but their food is absolutely amazing! Creative burgers on pretzel buns and garlic rosemary seasoned fries go well with just about every drink they can serve. And don’t forget…

CaliBurger, Washington DC – Burgers That Keep On Rolling
Cool spot in town with west coast inspired flavors and pairings, without ignoring seasonal cravings as well as never-ending fads of mushroom patties for those who honestly need to go ahead and eat that juicy meat. Gig went very well and in a timely matter. The food is actually on-point with flavors and especially the…
