Where I Go Out
Banh mi sandwich
$, Vietnamese, Breakfast, Village De L'est Area
"Best banh mi of my life. Thanks for taking us there @#teambambi"
Hog maws with stewed okra
$, Reservations, Southern / Soul, Ravenna
"Fabulous pre-birthday chicken courtesy of the fabulous @junebabysea Loved the hog maws with stewed okra! Great, personal service."
Veal sweetbreads
$$$$, Italian, South Juanita
"This dish is perfect. Exquisitely cooked sweetbreads have the slightest crust, and taste simply of themselves. A scattering of Pantellerian capers, fried until they open like little flowers, top the dish, with a generous amount of intensely green, fried parsley. A drizzle of gorgeous, buttery olive oil completes the plate. Each element is essential, and comes together as a minimalist’s delight. This is the dish that made me want to cook for Holly Smith at Cafe Juanita. It took a single bite."
Mad Hatcher farm bone-in chicken claypot
$$, Vietnamese, Miller Park
"I adore Eric Banh’s food. His dishes are always elegant but amazingly flavorful. He’s confessed to me on several occasions that this is his favorite dish on his menu, and it’s not hard to taste why. Pieces of young chicken, succulent from being cooked on the bone, are glazed with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. The lemongrass is very present but not overwhelming. This dish begs you to use your hands to eat it, and you will think about it the next day."
Pappardelle
$$$$, Italian, Capitol Hill
"Chef Nathan Lockwood knows just how to coax just the perfect melting texture and deep flavors from tripe and oxtail for this pasta dish. A hint of chilies brightens the brooding ragú and shows the restraint evident in the kitchen's hand. This is my fall pasta crush."
Laap pet isaan
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Thai, Richmond
"Everyone (rightly) raves about the chicken wings here, but this chopped duck salad makes my heart race. It's spicy and multi-layered with lemongrass, mint, toasted rice powder, and just the right balance of acid. It comes with a plate of herbs you may not have had before, among them culantro and fish mint. So craveable!"
At My Venues
Um Ali bread pudding
$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Middle Eastern, Pike/Pine
"New Mamnoon “Um Ali”, bread pudding, apple jam, brown butter sauce, sweet Za’atar sprinkles. @wasserwine"
Trout Mahi-ye sabzi
$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Middle Eastern, Pike/Pine
"New Trout hit the menu. Mahi-ye sabzi. Herbs for days. @henrytiles"
Does anyone even like tiny fluffy pancakes?
