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…
Baronessa Italian Restaurant, East Gude Drive, Rockville MD – closed
Baronessa was a fantastic hidden gem that sadly did not manage to stay afloat, very likely due to the location and Rockville town center growing and catering to its bougie audiences in one convenient package.
Absolute Flash Hilarity Re-shoot – Casolare (Glover Park Hotel Georgetown), Washington DC – story
Once upon a time, goober corporation decided to switch photo providing agencies for a brief period of time that ultimately flopped really hard due to horrible organization, that provided about a 3 month period where all the competition….erm, us co-worker photo monkeys got to somewhat meet each other being shoveled into a Slack chatroom and…
Aroma Pizza Company, Lorton VA
Aroma Pizza Company was a smooth shoot pretty far down I95, though not the farthest I’ve gone before, and was the first example of Italian and Indian/Middle Eastern fusion I’ve seen – and I loved that idea!
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…
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,…
Wall of Brew and Vegan Food – Frederick Social, MD
Frederick Social is definitely designed for the social part of its name – very roomy interior with various types of tables and seats to accommodate different crowds and set everyone nice and cozy to enjoy the giant wall of beer taps and their tapas style plates. Predominantly vegetarian and vegan menu, or at least from…
Can’t Go Wrong Here – JR’s Pizza, Frederick MD
JR’s Pizza is definitely one of the hidden gems of Frederick, MD, and I had the pleasure of covering them twice – both times with great success and being warmly welcome. Standard menu done just right here- Some people gush on and on about great places, but some places are honest and simple enough not…
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!
Sole D’Italia Restaurant, Layhill Road, Silver Spring MD
Simply fantastic and proper Italian spot! Sole D’Italia Restaurant feels both roomy and cozy and has all the proper doughy eats covered including probably the very best meatball sub I’ve seen (with standard sized balls)- It’s simply perfect! The vibe of this place is as follows – And some of the other offerings like pizza…
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…
Manhattan Pizza, VA and MD
Sprawled out local chain totaling 14 locations across MD and VA, and I got to shoot 3 of the VA ones. Pretty decent food here for the type of place that they are, but a far cry from Big Apple like most spots in DMV. Much better food than America’s Best, anything with that name…
White Horse Tavern, Harper’s Ferry WV
This one was pretty memorable because it was after a gig in Baltimore on the same day as my 80+ year old grandmother was to pass her citizenship test. This place absolutely did not disappoint even though it was quite the hike to get here for me. White Horse Tavern is your proper, roomy, modern…
The Grill at Harryman House, Reisterstown MD
The Grill at Harryman House was a pleasure to shoot and it combines that older town charm with modern touches and fantastic plates to boot! I always enjoy when the staff and managers care about their venue because so many don’t seem to, and those tend to fail over the years. This was also my…
