    Pandora Seafood House & Bar was a very swanky, wannabe upscale seafood spot in Rockville Town Center that I am not at all surprised to see going under. Was it a feeling when no food was offered after the shoot? I’ve done plenty of proverbially stingy spots over the years, I’ve seen places toss perfectly…

    Full Kee, Restaurant, is in Falls Church VA and can easily be confused with the one in Chinatown DC when searching for it on maps, but this place is another most excellent Chinese eatery just like Taste of Hong Kong and the one in DC. This shoot was pleasant, prompt, and the food was fantastic…

    This was a surprising and pleasant shoot one Friday after I’ve done a couple already, and Akai Tori Ramen made my inevitable misery in beltway traffic afterwards completely negligible with the bump in pay for shooting pretty much their entire menu. That menu was no joke by sheer nature of a Japanese barbecue done right.…

    This time shooting another of Miss Toya’s locations – the Creole House – smack in the middle of downtown Silver Spring right on Elsworth Avenue was a real treat since I got to do it my way! Dishes kept coming, and my proper setup I don’t exercise nearly as often as I’d like was in…

    And of course, this career brought myself and Sassy Pans into many shoots and a friendship with this being the original encounter that initially got completely schedule-jumbled thanks to the goober reps, but 2nd time ended up being our charm since work needed to get done. Since our first encounter, Sassy went on to stardom…

    Gourmet Inspirations is a nice and big Chinese restaurant right off of University Blvd in Wheaton and serves a great selection of Chinese and other Asian cuisine. Having but 2, but of their own parking spots saved this shoot because otherwise parking there is a complete nightmare.

    One of my favorite spots in old town Alexandria with a hilarious backstory to boot! So when I got assigned this one, a corpo rep personally reached out to me and begged me not to screw this one up since apparently it happened already and the restaurant wasn’t too confident in the underpaid workforce this…

    Shooting my first Mason’s was a cool experience in the heart of Annapolis, and since then I’ve shot their other locations as well! Never a bad time at this chain and the simple menu is one of my favorites since it cuts down on confusing choices that come with huge variety.

    Nice and partially hidden American restaurant with very cozy decor both inside and out in the heart of the tiny Leesburg downtown area. Great looking food to say the least. This was a part of triple venue gig for me and having an attentive point of contact made everything absolutely smooth sailing jumping from one…
