Bourbon Steak
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes

Vermilion
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes

1789
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
" Doesn't sound special but the way they fry is special. The baguette on the toast never gets soggy or greasy. Then you pair that with a well seasoned shrimp paste and fresh herbs and crisp lettuce. Hot and cold, crisp and herbal, it's the perfect bite. "
Masa 14
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
" For an excellent tasting menu, one of the best overall experiences I've had was at CityZen."
2941
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The boudin blanc here is the real deal and I can always taste a little foie gras. Plus Marcel's has the best service in town."
Brasserie Beck
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"A favorite for the excellent modern Italian cooking. "
Restaurant Eve
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Chef Peter Smith's housemade half smoke hot dogs are really delicious, but when they top it with white veal chili, cheddar cheese and all the fixings including chives, mustard and hot sauce, it's amazing. Preferably eaten at a seat right at the bar with mixologist Gina Chersevani. "
Bayou Bakery
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"On top of being great fried chicken, they're real potatoes, and braised greens by someone that has spent enough time in the South to do them right. The black pepper sauce just puts it over the top."
CityZen
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The Scapinash pasta at Posto is done to perfection, although it is not for everyone. It's ravioli filled with a sweet combination of ricotta, ricotta salata, golden raisins, amaretto cookies, and pan brioche, but served with a butter sage sauce. I think it's wonderful. "
Fiola
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"At the Mussel Bar, I like the wonderful flavors of the sandwich and the perfection of the doneness of the lamb. Look for it under the specials menu."
Cuba Libre
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The food at this place makes me proud to be a cook. From the technical (like any preparation of the consommé) to the most simple roast chicken, Palena sets the bar. "
Estadio, Proof
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"It's unique to Washington, and unexpectedly good because it's spam sushi, served from a truck."
Hank’s Oyster Bar
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
" Mark's Duck House is one of our family favorites but also one of my work favorites as well. It is the absolute best to find these leftovers in the fridge after a late night. There's nothing better. The chive dumpling is the stand-out and always my go-to. "
DC Coast
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"It doesn't matter what flavor the brownie is, you're gonna love it. I eat at least three of them a day. It's the reason we [pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac] got married."
Birch and Barley
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This is a delicious beef stew, made with herbs and beer. Et Voila reminds me of being at a cafe in Belguim. I spent years in Belgium - and the Belgium fries are better than French fries. "
Central, Citronelle, Michel
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
" Typically I sit in the lounge and order a platter of dumplings. I cannot choose a favorite so why not get all! They each have different fillings, shapes and sauces. Some are steamed, pan fried or deep fried making it a perfect combination of textures. "
Graffiato
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"There's no actual pizza here, but I go for the salteñas. It is a Bolivian dish, like a hand-held pot pie filled with chicken or beef, taken to the next level."
Bibiana
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The seabass with miso, edamame, and braised short ribs is a great interpretation of surf and turf."
PS 7′s
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Rich and spicy. I always get these mussels and order a side of plain parpadelle that I throw in the leftover sauce. "
Rogue 24
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"David Guas' spin on the muffuletta, the New Orleans sandwich, is served warm and the bread is really, really good."
Brasserie Beck, Marcel’s, Mussel Bar
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Ming's is open until 3 a.m. or later. The deep fried pork chop is spicy, salty, crispy. Doesn't get better than that."
The Source by Wolfgang Puck
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This tiny restaurant packs in a ton of flavor! The soup is hearty and bold. I love that Erik Bruner-Yang tastes every single bowl that leaves his kitchen, explaining why this ramen doesn't disappoint. "
Good Stuff Eatery, We The Pizza
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"They only do one thing, falafel, and they do it right! The falafel are perfectly fried and there is a huge toppings bar with all kinds of pickled veggies and sauces from mild to nuclear. And they are open late-night so it's the perfect dinner after a long day in the kitchen!"
Buzz Bakery
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"A good friend and neighboring restaurant, BLT is our go-to spot for a night out. The tuna tartare has a nice dice of avocado, which refreshes the dish. It has the perfect blast of soy and crispy garlic. The popovers are great too."
Equinox, Muse at the Corcoran, Watershed
