world-renowned chef jean-georges vongerichten continues his world-wind restaurant expansion with the opening of j & g steakhouse in the w hotel across the street from the white house. having eaten more than my fair share of times at jean georges in the one central park west, i cant wait to dig in dc!

cityzen dc

hats off to cityzen for being in the top 10 for wine destinations in this month's food and wine tasting & testing feature. pretty sweet on the heels of chef eric ziebold's 2008 james beard award for best chef in the mid-atlantic.

molly stolen from whole foods

i just read on channel four's website that some jerk stole molly from in front of the p street, nw whole foods market last night! i would freak out if my gorgeous baby went missing! Molly is about 60 lbs, with short, red/rust hair. She is very friendly and responds to her name. She has a scar inside her right hind leg and wears a pink nylon collar with cupcakes on it. more photos of molly here. if you have any information about molly's disappearance, please email the owners: findmollydog@gmail.com

on the fly dc

ranked in last week's wall street journal country-wide best of the lunch truck's poll, on the fly is dc's first eco-truck food cart. having eaten the chili and empanadas quite a few times, i can honestly say, "their food is delicious!". also try the fojol brothers of merlindia for yummy curries.
