Kumbia Restaurant, Rockville Town Center MD
Kumbia was an overall smooth shoot with my old time favorite – running customer orders right through me as myself and the couple who were celebrating one of their birthdays were staring at each other with me seeing the food loop away from my table behind some tactical dividers and run straight to the couple’s…

Luna Del Sea Steak & Seafood Bistro, Baltimore MD
Luna Del Sea was a classic American Bistro and a nice and straight-forward shoot save for abysmal parking around West Pratt street. These morning shoots can be pretty fun when your typical older school businessman owner guy is there to shoot the shit with about this industry while his staff whip up the dishes and…

Ada’s on the River, Alexandria VA
Ada’s is another awesome spot under the same restaurant group as Vola’s Dockside Grill and Barca right across from one another and as a well-run machine the shoot was seamless. Food here, just like in the sister spots is on-point and I got to do a kitchen equipment cataloguing gig here as well way after…

Eattini Thai Kitchen, Ellicott City MD – story
Eattini was quite the Friday night story of a shoot and I loved the place ever since whenever I was in town afterwards. I had a virtual tour to shoot in the typical farm boonies of MD with the only way in or out via a 2 lane back road, so you can already guess…

Sin & Grin, Kentlands Gaithersburg MD
Sin & Grin is a very nice and cozy chicken and tacos spot in Kentlands that I got to shoot twice over the years. Very good food and homey presentation of it here.

Kalypso’s Sports Tavern, Reston VA – For The Greek Gods
Kalypso’s was a fantastic shoot in a superbly decorated space, and a sort of rarity for a Greek and American fusion to have a lavish space like they do!
-
Vera’s Kitchen, Manassas VA
Vera’s Kitchen was a neat fusion of healthier American fused with Ethiopian roots and was one of the first such places I’ve shot. This was also one of the many places I covered in downtown Manassas.

801 Restaurant and Bar, Washington DC
801 right off Florida ave NW was an instant favorite of mine for the vibe alone. Food was excellent and while more up-class, 801 also felt pretty cozy and nice. I’d shoot them several times after the original and visited on my own time as well!

Woodley Cafe, Washington DC – story
Boy was this one a hilarious gig… After dealing with Shawarma Hut off Georgia Ave one fine New Year’s Eve, I decided to go ahead and pop by this place that was slotted for new year’s day and see if they’d be down to go ahead and knock a few plates out in peace and…

Seafood in the Buff, Silver Spring MD
Seafood in the Buff was a neat spot off of Georgia Ave that’s run by a Korean family whose other locations that are radically different I’ve also covered before. This place is set up like a fancier beach shack and all the sea and land food here definitely checks out. Very smooth shoot and a…

Heavy Seas Alehouse, Arlington VA
Got to shoot Seven Seas brewery alehouse at one point and was not disappointed. Pub food and fresh local beer? Yes please, especially on a weekend!
-
Hawk N Dove, Washington DC
Shooting a bar I already liked was always a good day in my book, and still is, so finally getting to go get paid at Hawk ‘n’ Dove in Capitol Hill, DC, was a real treat. Lighting was a real challenge since they place that a nice and moody atmosphere that sadly doesn’t bode all…
-
Gumax Cafe and Grill, Woodbridge VA
Gumax was a nice shoot and presented some interesting ways to plate a salmon. This place sadly closed since.
-
Alta Strada, Washington DC
Chic spot with very pretty dishes and awesome staff, but boy does management have a stick up their asses like I’ve ever seen, and that was from shooting their sister and practically next door Japanese restaurant Nama Sushi Bar, and that will be a very proper story in its own post. Alta I got to…

Brookland’s Finest Kitchen, Washington DC
Brookland’s Finest Kitchen is a cool and roomy spot in DC with some very strong dishes and their presentation. When was the last time you’ve seen a caesar salad as a lump of lettuce buried under a slab of a cracker? The kicker to this shoot was having to drive in one of our more…
