The chef behind a new restaurant on Capitol Hill, backed by well-known GOP operatives, wants diners to judge it on the bistro menu, not the politics of its customer base. washingtonpost.com/food/2025/05/0…

One of the many reasons I try to fly Alaska Airlines whenever I can: This morning, as I boarded my flight from SFO to DCA, I was behind two deaf passengers who were thanked by the gate agent in sign language. Just watching that small thoughtfulness made my WEEK.

I get it, “stuff” happens. But americanair should have more than three agents working when four flights are simultaneously delayed or canceled in Albany, NY (and at least one plane load of passengers has been waiting almost six hours). Public messages are few and far between

Ten years after launch, Centrolina is packed when competitors aren’t, growing when others are contracting and as delicious as when I first ate there in 2015. Grazie, chef Amy Brandwein. #dcfood #dcrestaurants washingtonpost.com/food/2025/06/2…

A waiter in New Orleans shares this tip: “a piece of chocolate before a sip of cheap red wine makes the wine taste more expensive.” Kinda true!

Have you ever spent a ton of $ on a mediocre meal in a chef-driven restaurant only to seek out a chain afterwards to get satisfied? I’m here to tell you the club sandwich made with potato bread and fresh-tasting coleslaw Applebee's Grill + Bar outside Southampton is pretty good. End rant.
