About Us

We’re that couple who will absolutely drive two hours for a specific sandwich. He’s got a sixth sense for finding the next hot spot. I’m the former kitchen-avoider turned enthusiastic experimenter and together, this site is our love letter to good food and the people who make it.

Whether you’re at a Michelin-starred counter or trying to get your kid to eat something green, we believe sharing a cooked meal is pretty much the most human thing there is. We’re here to share the most crave-worthy dishes in DC (and beyond). We break down what makes them special, and help you recreate a bit of that magic at home.
