Dune Brothers Seafood – Providence, RI
As we were heading back to the Providence airport, after a visit to Newport, there was time for one more seafood stop. So I asked my friend, Mr. Google, where to find the best seafood, at lunch time, in Providence. And Dune Brothers Seafood appeared in the top five on several lists. Located on a […]
Yum’s II – Washington, DC
Tonight’s first dinner comes to you courtesy of an article from the July 2011 issue Travel and Leisure, called “The United States of Deliciousness”. In it, the chef at Beef & Barley raved about the Philly cheesesteak at Yum’s II. He said it was the best cheesesteak, outside of Philly. Challenge accepted. In town for […]
Rose’s Luxury – Washington, DC
If you read yesterday’s lament (note: the lament was definitely not about where I ate – which was a phenomenal meal, but about where I didn’t get to eat) about the plumbing problem, that once again, thwarted my attempt to go to Rose’s Luxury, you’ll be pleased to hear that the quest is finally over. […]
Little Serow – Washington, DC
Every spring, for the last twenty-something years, I head to a conference in Washington, DC. As with every other adventure I take, there’s always planning around the Omnivore’s Dilemna. Last year, I tried to get to a restaurant that was new to the scene in 2014 and has been named the second best restaurant in […]

Royal Tavern – Philadelphia, PA
Known for my exceptional timing, I arrived in the City of Brotherly Love, four days ahead of the Pope. The airport and every street sign was welcoming the Pontiff and on Tuesday night, the police were in full preparation mode. The first place I headed to for dinner (in Fairmount), I couldn’t get near, at […]

Fiola Mare – Washington, DC
On this trip to DC, I did a little exploring and determined, in advance, where I could make a reservation for dinner that was on one of my lists. I knew that the top spot on my “to-do” list did not take reservations (Rose’s Luxury), so I looked at other choices. From the Southern Living […]
Ping Pong Dim Sum – Washington, DC
After arriving in DC and dropping our bags at the hotel, food was shortly on our mind. I asked the concierge about restaurants in Chinatown and he gave me two names, both near the metro station. We saw Ping Pong Dim Sum first, so it “won”. We’re fond of dim sum – and what could […]
Komi – Washington, DC
When I opened up “the lists” to find C F Folks earlier in the day, I took note of the other five District options, and before I headed to lunch I looked about making a dinner reservation. But here’s the delimma – OpenTable (my go-to food planning site) won’t let you make a reservation for […]
