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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

A New Hidden Gem – La Coop Coffee, Arlington Forest VA
Tucked almost awkwardly away off of Arlington Boulevard in the southern Arlington area sits one location of La Coop Coffee – a neat little local spot with some seriously good sandwiches as well as caffeinated beverages unlike quite a few other place. Drinks go as follows – Some usual bakery items and bagels – And…

At Long Sunday Last – Marshall Diner, VA
So what do you do when leaving a lovely camping trip to WV? You seek a local diner of sorts to wrap up your trip of course! Until the 2 remaining local spots are closed shut on Sundays despite Maps saying otherwise, and one being up for sale entirely. So, what then? You drive 40…

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…

The Best Stop – The Pit Stop Barbecue, Sterling VA
The Pit Stop is definitely the stop for bbq in the north Sterling area and it is most excellent! Their sides are solid and liquid, and packed with proper flavor, And the mains are delicious as well! Some places honestly need no extra words to vet, and this is one of them!

Le Tried and Le True – Vie De France Bakery & Cafe, Potomac MD
Once upon a time I got to shoot one of my old, global faves that I discovered well before even picking up a camera, and the one you’ve all seen in just about any major city or area – Vie De France. The location I got to cover was not my original find, but it…

A-Deli Italian Food & Wine, Worldgate Center, Herndon VA – closed
Looks like another one bites the dust as I check back on my past shoots – A-Deli was a decent, cafeteria-style spot that catered to the corpo center is was inside of and I wonder what cased these guys to fail… This shoot was smooth but at the crack of dawn, which I still loathe…

Fully Loaded Heros – Capo Italian Deli, Tyson’s Corner VA
Capo Deli was a pleasant surprise to shoot considering that delis are fairly rare in the DMV, let alone those that properly mirror those of NY, and Capo seems to nail the idea! A quote from them directly, “Reminiscent of the old school, traditional Italian deli’s found in NY, Philly, and Boston… No gimmicks, no…

49 West Coffeehouse, Winebar & Gallery, Annapolis MD
49 West Coffeehouse, Winebar & Gallery is a cute little spot downtown Annapolis that has some bites, but mostly focuses on the drank, and that’s my kind of place! I did this shoot along with a slew of others when I had a couple days to cover Annapolis a few years ago and as a…

KOVI Asian Bistro, Leesburg VA
Nice variety spot to get your Asian palette wet in Leesburg area right across from their Costco and Target. The fact that still place is still standing strong alone tells you about their quality.
