Just Don’t Do It Then -Freddie’s Sports Bar & Grill – Parkville, MD
Imagine a Friday. Imagine a Friday in greater Baltimore area around 2pm, while a giant warehouse in the city happens to be on fire diverting traffic in every inconvenient direction when it comes to getting to Parkville by 3pm. Not a great way to end the day, I’ll tell you for sure. I barely get…

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…

Jezza’s Halal Food, Washington DC
Jezza’s Halal Food is a tiny spot in south area of Petworth neighborhood of DC and offers a tame selection of good food as well as smoothies and coffee. The kicker here is that Jezza’s is but a few doors down from one of the absolute best little spots in town for authentic Spanish cuisine…

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…

Doing A Ghost Kitchen Right – DisBe Good DC, Ivy City Food Works, Washington DC
And of course the name was Disbe Good, not Desbe Good like the corpos passed down to me….so very typical for a desk jockey that can’t even seem to google anything right….. This crew with the owner, Phil, at the helm do an amazing Africa-inspired takeout plates with both proper, juicy, and tender suya, as…

The Eleanor DC, Washington DC
The Eleanor DC was a fantastic shoot at a casually swanky spot right under the crossing of New York and Florida Ave NE, about a click from the Union Market where I’ve done my share of work over the years. Atmosphere, staff, and food here were on point!

Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, Frederick MD – closed
Beef ‘O’ Brady’s was actually a fun Irish Pub at the southern tip of Frederick, MD, that I got to shoot on one January day and have been back there a couple of times afterwards for a pint when the weather and traffic were absolutely abysmal after some other shoots I have done in the…

Bar Elena, H Street NE, Washington DC
Bar Elena is a very nice little spot on H Street not too far from Union Station that I shot a few years ago, and it looks like they’re still kicking pretty strong. This shoot was excellent and the dishes here were fantastic! This place has a multi-cuisine fusion that is all done just right.…

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!

Miss Toya’s Southen Kitchen, Rio, Gaithersburg MD
Miss Toya’s Southen Kitchen is part of Miss Toya’s local chain of southern and Cajun restaurants in the DMV area, and one of them I got to shoot located in Rio. The first time around I arrived to but one prep cook having zero clue about anything even remotely close to a photo shoot an…

Parlay’s Replacement – Blue Moon, Dupont Circle DC
It’s been eons since I’ve been down on M street NW in DC, and last place I shot here from what I recall was Bub and Pops, but this post is about a new hookah lounge called Blue Moon DC. Not to be confused with Baltimore’s Blue Moon Cafe, which is an excellent spot in…

Unique Take on Fried Chicken – Chicking, Frederick MD
Now this I did not expect to see, but apparently it has been out and about all over the rest of the world – an Indian and Middle Eastern take on fried chicken using their exotic blend of spices that easily rivals most of the recent Korean takes on our Southern concept of a deep…

New Speakeasy – Code Red, Adams Morgan DC
Code Red is a brand new speakeasy right at the top of Adams Morgan and this is a flavor majority of DC needs more of! Perfect moody atmosphere, sophisticated bar, intimate seating, and quite the posh menu all synergize together like a good cocktail. Interior alone is worth a stop here, And the food, albeit…

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!
