Where I Go Out

Eggs Benedict w/ tasso ham

Tabard Inn

Modern, American, Breakfast, Hotel, Restaurant, Northwest Washington

"You'll find old DC charm at the Tabard Inn and a real neighborhood feel. It's great for Sunday brunch, with fresh farm ingredients and soulful cooking. It's my getaway for brunch."

Brasserie Beck

Oysters on the half shell

BlackSalt

$$$$, Modern, American, Seafood, Cocktail, Foxhall Crescent

"Great neighborhood feel with lots of options. Eat at the bar and catch a ball game or in the dining room to see the kitchen in action. You know the fish is fresh if they sell it retail in the front as well."

Honey Pig Gooldaegee Korean Grill

$$, Korean,

"Loud and boisterous with good food and open way late. The food is very consistent and the spicy pork belly is my favorite."

$$, Happy Hour, Sushi, Full Bar, Northwest Washington

"Fresh tuna, great ingredients, and just the right amount of heat. Eat at the bar to see the show—it's very comfortable."

Mussels w/ fennel & chorizo

Brasserie Beck

$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Full Bar, Belgian, Northwest Washington

"What else is there to say? It's just good. Smoky, lightly spiced chorizo is a nice counterpoint to the mussels. The whole thing is delicious to sop up with the Belgian frites they serve on the side. The curry mayo is my favorite of the three mayos that you get; it has just the right amount of curry where it's obvious but not overwhelming."

Mussels w/ fennel & chorizo

Brasserie Beck

$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Modern, Full Bar, Belgian, Northwest Washington

"I love the fanfare and showboating you get at Brasserie Beck, but at their heart they are truly about quality ingredients, and so am I, so I love just their classic mussels. Made with white wine, fresh herbs, garlic and butter, they're incredibly simple but just so beautifully done it's a really hard dish to beat."
