We love food. So much so, that dining out has become a full contact sport. My husband Stan has 30 years as a professional chef. I fell in love with Lasagna at the age of 5 and have been on a quest to eat the best available food ever since.

We will tell you the truth about restaurants (Mid-Atlantic U.S.) and food products. We will point you to places worth going just for the eating. And we will throw in some ideas to make your home-prepared food, just a little more wondrous.

Diners Behaving Badly!

Written by Howardbison3 on
We’ve all been there before- enjoying a big meal with friends at a nice restaurant when the bill comes. That’s when the trouble begins. Someone hasn’t brought enough cash. Someone doesn’t want to pay for the cocktails someone else had, while someone else argues with the waitress about charges on the bill (even though they ate the entire dish they are arguing about). And don’t forget the friend who doesn’t believe in tipping over 10%. I don’t know about you, but it makes me cringe! Karen Gaudette, of the Seattle Times, describes typical dining types . Which are you? The Calculator: Who whips out ... Read Full Story

Domaso Trattoria Moderna @ Hotel Palomar

Written by digipeep on
Last night I tried Domaso , a new Italian restaurant in the swanky Kimpton Hotel Palomar in Rosslyn, Virginia. Overall, I'd say that the hotel has a very cool style, the restaurant is fair, but the bar and location are the real winners. The restaurant is at the tip of Rosslyn, on the fourth floor, overlooking the Potomac and Georgetown. In the spring the restaurant plans to open a large terrace that will provide some of the best outside dining in Virginia. At the bar before dinner, I tried a Corriander Gimlet, made from gin, lime juice and a corriander mixer. My companion had ... Read Full Story

Bread rises, Hope falls

Written by foodwoolf on
Despite a minor win, the 1999 and 2005 gold medal winning American team has lost its gold medal ranking to the French in the 2008 Baking World Cup competition. Team France ended its 12-year losing streak when it rose to the top with its high scores in three out of four categories of bread baking. The French dominated with their authentic light and crusty baguettes, elegant Viennese pastry (yeasted sweet bread) and an elaborate bread masterpiece dedicated to the female form in an haute couture doughy outfit. The American team won the Pastry competition, but the sweetness of their high scores was not enough ... Read Full Story

Yelp a Paris?
Is there a Yelp-type site for restaurants in Paris (or Europe, as a whole)? Ideally I'd like a restaurant guide for Paris that is based on user reviews, is easy to search and bookmark like Yelp to make my meals in Paris a breeze. I'll even take a blog or a list if that's all I can get. Any suggestions are welcome.

Is Yelp Just a Bastion of Pollyannas?
We’ve heard plenty of complaints about Yelp from the advertiser standpoint, but what about from users? A pie graph over at Venture Beat shows just how many Yelp restaurants get three- or four-star reviews. Venture Beat points out that the median review is 4.3 out of 5 stars and only 7 percent and 8 percent of people leave 1- or 2-star reviews, respectively — something that would seem to render the star system rather useless. All this means...

Jerry H.'s Review of Yelp
Yelp sucks. Its a site that removes reviews or bumps reviews down for no apparent reason. This review will probably be bumped lower because of one star biases. Most of the higher rated restaurants…
