This year I've become more of a foodie and I turned 21; an amazing combination. A bit expensive, but worth it. Living with foodie parents, the desire to eat delicious food both at home and out will make this a fat summer. On top of that, Top Chef: DC starts in two weeks and a desire to explore DC's culinary scene will probably grow as the show goes on.
Before even seeing Top Chef: DC and seeing new places I want to try, here is a preliminary list of DC area food establishments I'd like to sink my teeth into with friends or parents. Some are tried and true favorites, some newbies, some classier than others.
Oyamel Cocina Mexicana
One of two Jose Andres DC restaurants I haven't eaten at. This tapas joint is Mexican themed.
Cheesecake Factory
I never want to look at the nutritional information for this family favorite. I eat based on taste, which is probably bad.
Volt
Top Chef alum Brian Voltaggio's restaurant in Frederick, MD.
Westend Bistro
Eric Ripert's DC restaurant.
Breakfast at the Willard
One of DC's classiest hotels, it's kind of essential I eat a meal here at some point. So I choose breakfast.
Jaleo
Duh.
Good Stuff Eatery
Top Chef alum Spike Mendelsohn's burger joint. Delicious milkshakes and burgers.
We the Pizza
Mendelsohn's new pizza place, opening right next door to Good Stuff.
Ariake
Double duh.
That's it for now. Watch this list grow by the week as summer goes on.
