Last weekend, Jon and I took in the sights and sounds at Sweetgreen's Sweetlife Festival, a day-long music event with a roster that included The Strokes, Girl Talk, Lupe Fiasco, and more. We sat down with local scenesters U.S. Royalty to talk about the festival's message and their own eating habits. It's the first video I've ever shot on my new Canon t2i, and hot damn it looks pretty! Better quality than a film cam, eh? Click here to read the accompanying article. View more videos at: http... Read Full Story

Behold, the glory that is seafood in a bag! What sounds like food-poisoning-waiting-to-happen is how food is served at Hot N Juicy , a Louisiana transplant on Connecticut Avenue offering steamed crawfish, shrimp, and a slew of other items. The common denominator is, of course, that everything is hot and juicy. Whowouldathunkit. While I'm not in a rush to eat all my food in a bag, it works at Hot N Juicy. A variety of different seasonings are available: Louisiana-style, juicy Cajun, garlic... Read Full Story

Last week, my friend Andy and I grabbed a bite to eat at Himalayan Heritage on 18th Street in Adams Morgan before catching a performance of China: The Whole Enchilada , which currently stars my friend, the irrepressibly funny Ben Demers. The whole evening, as it turned out, was pretty theatrical. The meal started out with an amuse-bouche of red pepper-flaked fava beans with puffed rice. The creamy beans were splendidly complemented by pops of spice, and the puffed rice added a lovely crunch... Read Full Story

Things I'm powerless against: French fries, cheddar cheese, and sausage gravy. These 'disco fries' are pure, greasy, goodness, and you kind of feel bad after you enjoy it—not unlike disco.

Last weekend in New York City, a few friends and I crossed land and sea in a journey to Flushing, Queens, a place enveloped in foreign smells and the chattering sounds of strange dialects. We felt like wayward Americans mistakenly landed in some Asian outpost, stumbling past stalls overflowing with colorful ingredients—those foul, spiky durians, dusty lotus roots, and pale green winter melons—and past crowded alleyways lined with pint-sized takeaway shops. Finally, we found, down a flight of... Read Full Story
