    A&J Restaurant was a pleasure to shoot today, not only because the owner Debbie was ready-and-waiting (as all of these shoots ought to be), but because it’s another gem offering Taiwanese style dishes around and quite a bit different from Jumbo Jumbo Cafe mini-chain offering more appetizers and dim sum that is really, really good!…

    Atwater’s is a local cafe chain and back in the day I got to shoot the Catonsville location to much success. It’s always great to see good local cafes and delis branch out without getting too big to keep their consistency, and Atwater’s nails this aspect much like another Baltimore area local – Attman’s.

    Kibby’s Restaurant was a real gem of a discovery right across from Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital off of Route 1 in southern Baltimore. It had 2 halves to the entire establishment – one with a large “U” shaped bar and a few tables, and the other half featuring typical restaurant tables. Given the extremely moody…

    Elkridge Furnace Inn was actually a lovely older style inn I have covered before this shoot for a virtual tour as they double up as a wedding venue. Food here was as impressive as the general decor while remaining fairly rustic to fit the overall mood.

    A Baked Joint is a fantastic bakery, cafe, and effectively deli with a switch to pizzeria towards the evening in DC. I got to shoot them twice to cover both ends of their spectrum and shoots themselves were done smoothly. The food is on-point here too. The real story here is entirely about the back-end…

    Brown’s was a nice and relatively quick little shoot and a much better variety of food I’d expect from either a regular deli or one inside of a proper liquor store. Definitely my first time seeing proper steamed shrimp plate at a spot like this. I was instantly reminded of the more remote takeout/convenient stores…

    Flamant Annapolis – the one otherwise simple and prompt shoot that impressed me and ingrained itself in my memory as one of the very few, head-to-toe overall excellently executed restaurants and serves as a prime example of how the simple, yet intricate decor absolutely matters! Most of the time, Flamant runs on reservations and that’s…

    Vignola Gourmet was a very cool and cozy little spot to shoot in Twinbrook area of Rockville and it pleased me to see a bakery make some great sandwiches with their fresh, fresh breads!

    Wagshal’s is by far one of the best food markets, delis, and restaurants in the Northwest DC. Words simply cannot do their various, mouth-watering dishes the justice! I highly recommend stopping by here for sandwiches and other eats if you are in the area or visiting DC. This place doubles up as a supermarket, beer…

    Adams Morgan, NW DC, is an excellent food spot and that includes a quaint cellar-style Bar Charley with their creative dishes. Highly recommended! Aside from the usual AdMo parking nightmare, this shoot was smooth as butter and the place itself had excellent menu as well as awesome staff. Got in, got out with some props…

    Nice and easy shoot this, but for a very classy, cozy, and straight-up fancy French restaurant with a French owner on the tip of DC in the AU area – when the owner tells you up front that he doesn’t care about the background for his chefs’ fantastic dishes, I couldn’t help but die laughing…
