Tom Sietsema Dropped Stars From His Restaurant Reviews; I’m Adding Them to Mine

Posted by Rick Chessen

  You may have seen that Tom Sietsema, the longtime Washington Post food critic, recently decided to permanently end the awarding of stars. His column explaining his decision made a powerful case, just not the one he was trying to make. He didn’t convince me that he did the right thing by dropping ratings from his reviews; he convinced me ...READ MORE »

The Best Things I Ate This Week (August 15, 2021) — Sally’s Apizza, Kreme ‘n Kone, Chatham Bars Inn, Homemade Bo Ssam, Locanda Vini & Olii

Posted by Rick Chessen

Ordering at Kreme ‘N Kone I’m a few days late because I just got back from Cape Cod where I expected to have so many delicious things to eat that I’d have a hard time culling through them for this post. Turns out, not so much. I’ve been spoiled by my recent summer vacations in Maine, where the water isn’t quite ...READ MORE »

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.

Fancying Queen’s English

Posted by Rick Chessen

Queen’s English, 3410 11th St NW, Washington DC (Columbia Heights) (reviewed October 20, 2020) Naturally, the day after I posted a list of the best things I’ve eaten lately, I had one of my favorite restaurant meals of 2020. In Before Times, I would have taken a couple of weeks to write about it, but in the middle of a ...READ MORE »

You Still Gotta Eat

Posted by Rick Chessen

The country, as I’m sure you’re aware, is going to crap in a crap-basket. And it could get worse. We may be heading into a brutal second COVID wave and a constitutional crisis of epic proportions. Given the existential crises we’re facing, I thought now would be the perfect time for one of my blog posts ruminating on the frustrations ...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 »

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 »

Rick Eats DC Eats Italy

Posted by Rick Chessen

                My family and I just got back from a ten-day trip to Rome, Florence, Milan and the Cinque Terra region of the Ligurian coast. Before we get to the food, let me show you all the things we did other than eat.                 We saw this. And a bunch of things like this. And several of these. I knew I should’ve taken better notes but you ...READ MORE »
