The Best Things I Ate This Week (October 31, 2021) — Thamee and Taqueria Xochi

Posted by Rick Chessen

This is the week I got my groove back. Thamee and Taqueria Xochi reminded me how much I love searching for that perfect bite and the absolute thrill of sometimes finding it. Suddenly I was Anthony Bourdain again, intrepidly connecting with people and cultures through food, as opposed to what it’s felt like these past eighteen months: Andy Dufresne down ...READ MORE »

The Best Things I Ate This Week (Despite Being Tormented by the NYT) (Oct 16, 2021) — Q by Peter Chang and Convivial

Posted by Rick Chessen

The New York Times is trying to kill me. I don’t know what I did, but obviously it was something that hurt them a lot. Because their new list of the 50 top US restaurants hit me like a Tyson Fury right hook. Despite a lifetime obsession with finding the best places to eat, it turns out I’ve been ...READ MORE »

The Best Things I Ate This Week (August 29, 2021) — Call Your Mother, Spanish Diner, Homemade Jammy Eggs

Posted by Rick Chessen

Pro-tip: eating at home is not the same as eating in peace An early and short post this week because I’m off on a cross-country road trip that will take me to some of my favorite food destinations. Will report back by Labor Day. In the meantime, stay safe and cool, and for any unvaccinated adults still out there, please heed ...READ MORE »

The Best Things I Ate This Week (August 22, 2021) — Frankly…Pizza!, CherCher, Makan, Homemade Orzo w/ Veggies

Posted by Rick Chessen

Late Summer BLT (homemade, but if you stop by I’ll make you one) It’s late August and that means it’s time for those familiar signs of summer’s end: good tomatoes, county fairs, and outraged Facebook posts about the earliness of the Halloween candy display at Giant. This year some of the Facebook replies will note how early Rosh Hashanah is — ...READ MORE »

The Best Things I Ate This Week (July 31, 2021) — Reveler’s Hour, Dauphine’s, Le Diplomate, ChiKo

Posted by Rick Chessen

Um…hey…how’ve you been? Great to see you again. I think it was last February, if you can believe it. Yeah, time does fly during lockdown. Or does it stand still. Either way, it’s been a while. I wanted to let you know that I’m back and posting regularly again. Thanks for sticking with me, or at least forgetting to unsubscribe. I’ll ...READ MORE »

Cheffy Take on Chinese Takeout at Lucky Danger

Posted by Rick Chessen

Lucky Danger, 455 I St NW, Washington DC (Mt. Vernon Square), reviewed January 12, 2021 You’ll be glad to know this isn’t a 2020 year-in-review. No one wants to relive that shit show, including me. I thought about doing a post on the best takeout I had in 2020. I even started flipping through my photos only to realize that, ...READ MORE »

Anafre Ain’t Afraid

Posted by Rick Chessen

Posted March 1, 2020 Anafre, 3704 14th Street NW, Washington DC (Columbia Heights) There were two big freak outs in the foodie community over the past month. The first was AOC declaring it’s impossible to get a good bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwich in DC. Foodie Twitter got so bent out of shape that you think she’d done something completely unforgivable like wear a ...READ MORE »

Throwback Comforts Outshine Comfort Foods at The Riggsby

Posted by Rick Chessen

>> The Riggsby, 1731 New Hampshire Ave NW, Washington DC (Dupont Circle) (Reviewed June 30, 2019) The Riggsby has been around for several years now, tucked away in the boutique Carlyle Hotel a few blocks off Dupont Circle. But don’t be fooled by the demure trappings. It’s a hotbed for some radical ideas. Let’s start with the menu, which is divided into ...READ MORE »

Seven Reasons – The Venezuelan Restaurant You Didn’t Know You Were Waiting For

Posted by Rick Chessen

Seven Reasons, 2208 14th St NW, Washington DC (14th and U) (Reviewed May 24, 2019) I knew this would happen. I knew that as soon I came out with my Top-25 Restaurant list, some new place would open and blow a gaping hole in my rankings. Right on cue, along came Seven Reasons, the new modern Venezuelan spot that would ...READ MORE »

Little Beast — Where the Relaxing Things Are

Posted by Rick Chessen

Little Beast, 5600 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC (reviewed March 4, 2019) This is a review of Little Beast, not I’m Eddie Cano! But it’s almost impossible to talk about one without the other ever since they opened within weeks of each other on a stretch of upper Connecticut that badly needed them both. It’s like when 30 Rock and ...READ MORE »
