  • Dish on DC: Capitol Bites, Politico Plates, and Foodie Power Plays!
    May 17 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Washington D.C. is having a moment that food lovers can’t afford to miss. The city’s restaurant scene is exploding with bold new openings, innovative concepts, and a growing vibrancy that’s making the capital one of the nation’s most dynamic dining destinations. Take The Occidental, for example—this storied institution has been revived by Stephen Starr, blending old-school Americana classics like lobster Newberg and roasted pheasant with a chic, modern setting that attracts politicians and foodies alike. Not far away, Sagrada on U Street is rewriting the rules of Mexican cuisine with an eight-course mushroom-centric tasting menu. The playful dishes here deliver all the whimsy of a magic mushroom trip—minus any mind-altering effects—while showcasing local, seasonal produce in every bite, reflecting D.C.’s devotion to farm-fresh ingredients.

    But the city isn’t just about fine dining. There’s a palpable buzz around Wonder, set to open its first D.C. location this June on the 14th Street corridor. This next-gen food hall—partnering with DC Central Kitchen, no less—brings together culinary luminaries like Bobby Flay and José Andrés under one roof, revolutionizing both mealtime and food delivery for the District. It’s hard not to get giddy at the thought of sampling iconic pizza from Di Fara and smoky Texas barbecue from Tejas Barbeque all in a single visit.

    D.C.’s global palate is on full display as well. From James Beard-approved Indian street food making waves this spring, to new Thai eateries like Birdsong Thai on Chevy Chase and a wine bar from the highly regarded Lutèce team, the city is savoring flavors from around the world with ever-increasing sophistication and flair. Meanwhile, cutting-edge tech is creeping into kitchens, with innovations like AI-powered restaurants emerging on the culinary horizon, blending tradition with futuristic service models.

    The city’s calendar is as appetizing as its menus. June brings the fourth annual A Taste Of The DMV festival, taking over Pennsylvania Avenue with food trucks, local vendors, and live music—an all-ages, open-air celebration of everything deliciously D.C. Later in August, the Around The World Cultural Food Festival in nearby Alexandria transforms waterfront Oronoco Bay Park into a global tasting arena, where each participating country is represented by a single, top local restaurant.

    What sets Washington D.C. apart is its ability to blend history, politics, and diverse cultures on every plate. Here, Chesapeake blue crab meets Ethiopian berbere, and political power lunches coexist with vibrant street food scenes. D.C. is no longer just the city of power brokers—it’s now a playground for culinary adventurers and a must-taste destination for listeners hungry for something new..

    May 15 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    # DC's Culinary Renaissance: Spring and Summer 2025

    The nation's capital is experiencing a gastronomic revolution this season with an exciting lineup of new dining destinations that showcase innovation and diversity.

    The Occidental, one of DC's longest-running restaurants, has reopened under restaurateur Stephen Starr's vision. This historic establishment now offers sleek finishes, cozy booths, and white tablecloth service with an old-school Americana menu featuring tableside classics like shrimp Louie and lobster Newberg.

    For adventure seekers, Sagrada on U Street presents a truly unique concept – an eight-course tasting menu centered around non-psychoactive mushrooms, creating a playful Mexican dining experience without the psychedelic high. This imaginative restaurant comes from Knead Hospitality, the team behind Succotash Prime and Mi Vida.

    At the Wharf, Chef Kwame Onwuachi has introduced a new interactive dining experience at Dōgon Roti Bar. The 90-minute communal tasting features hands-on bites like cornbread with caviar and curried goat roti, paired with creative cocktails from renowned bar expert Derek Brown.

    In Brightwood Park, Chef Iulian Fortu has partnered with the Anxo Cider team to open Poplar, an intimate restaurant focusing on foraged and locally farmed ingredients prepared in a wood-burning oven. With limited Friday and Saturday night service, this boundary-pushing concept demands advance planning.

    Food festival enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the 4th Annual A Taste Of The DMV on June 14, bringing together the region's best food, music, and cultural experiences at 300 Pennsylvania Avenue. Later in the summer, the Around the World Cultural Food Festival returns on August 23 at Oronoco Bay Park in Old Town Alexandria, featuring carefully selected vendors showcasing diverse cuisines with only one restaurant representing each country.

    Wine lovers should catch DC Wine Fest on April 26 at Union Market's Dock 5, offering pours from District Winery, Good Spirit Farm, and 41 Wines, complemented by live music and seafood bites.

    May brings Passport DC, a month-long celebration including the International City Food Festival on May 2-3 and Fiesta Asia on May 17, featuring outdoor crafts, performances, and street food from around the world.

    Washington's culinary landscape continues to evolve with these diverse options, cementing its status as a premier dining destination where history, innovation, and global influences converge on the plate..

  • Deliciously D.C.: Capital Kitchens Sizzle with Creativity and Robots
    May 13 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Is Washington D.C. the new nexus for culinary creativity? The energy buzzing through the city’s kitchens suggests so. Over the past year, the nation’s capital has shaken off its old suit-and-tie steakhouse image, unleashing a dining scene that thrills with diversity, ingenuity, and a generous splash of local flavor.

    Let’s start with the latest restaurant openings. The Occidental, a grand old dame near the White House, has been reborn by restaurateur Stephen Starr, pairing lush Americana—think shrimp Louie and roasted pheasant—with historic ambiance on white tablecloths. Meanwhile, Sagrada on U Street is turning heads with an eight-course, mushroom-forward tasting menu, creating a whimsical journey for the palate without any psychedelic side effects. For taco lovers, La Tejana continues to dazzle with bold, border-hopping flavors, while Kayu on H Street brings Filipino comfort food into the limelight, and Pascual on Capitol Hill rolls out soulful, contemporary Mexican plates.

    Chefs are increasingly drawing on D.C.’s international heartbeat. Emma’s Torch in Woodridge is not only serving up craveable egg and cheese biscuits; it’s also a launching pad for refugee and asylum-seeking culinary talents. Mita in Shaw, a plant-based tasting room, is racking up nominations at both the local RAMMY Awards and the James Beard Awards, proving that fine dining can be green without sacrificing glamour.

    Innovation is a defining trait of D.C.’s dining renaissance. Technology is finding its way into the kitchen and the front of house, with restaurants experimenting with AI-driven service to elevate both efficiency and hospitality, inspired by the industry’s leaders who see robots as solutions to pandemic-era challenges and labor shortages.

    The city’s food festivals are can’t-miss affairs. The 4th Annual A Taste Of The DMV takes over Pennsylvania Avenue each June, transforming downtown into a kaleidoscope of global bites, live music, and the multicultural spirit that makes D.C. sizzle. Come August, the Around the World Cultural Food Festival lights up Oronoco Bay Park, handpicking just one standout vendor per country to show off their heritage through food. And let’s not forget the Giant BBQ Battle, where over 100,000 barbecue devotees descend for smoked brisket, barbecue egg rolls, and fierce culinary showdowns.

    If any city captures the spirit of America on a plate, it’s Washington D.C. You’ll find chefs who champion Chesapeake Bay oysters, kitchen crews uniting cultures from every continent, and a dining public eager to chase the next flavor high. Every meal here feels like a vibrant conversation—one where tradition mingles with innovation, and every bite tells a story. For food lovers willing to taste the future, D.C. is absolutely essential..
