  • Dish on D.C.: Rooftop Glam, Korean Reboot, and a Side of Embassy Intrigue

    Dish on D.C.: Rooftop Glam, Korean Reboot, and a Side of Embassy Intrigue
    May 24 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Washington D.C.’s dining scene is ablaze with innovation, global flair, and a deep love for its Mid-Atlantic roots. Listeners hungry for both excitement and authenticity will find the capital’s latest restaurant openings and festivals to be a full-on sensory celebration—where smoky barbecue mingles with cutting-edge Korean, and coastal Mediterranean breezes waft from rooftops high above Dupont Circle.

    The talk of the town is Casamara, a glamorous new spot perched in Dupont Circle, where the 3,000-square-foot rooftop and artful décor set the stage for a coastal Mediterranean menu that surprises and delights—think foie gras poutine and raw tuna belly crowned with fresh melon and herbs. Their maple-brined ibérico pork chops, paired with a curated wine list, turn any meal into a special occasion. Down the avenue at Onggi, the tradition of Korean hanjeongsik gets a creative reboot. Diners embark on a multi-course journey: earthy kabocha squash porridge, pristine Jeju Island abalone, and classics like japchae, all celebrating the versatility of fermented flavors and seasonal bounty. Both restaurants illustrate D.C.'s newfound openness to technique-driven, globally inspired cooking, yet they keep local ingredients and hospitality at the heart of their appeal.

    The city’s momentum doesn’t stop at fine dining. Manifest Bread, set to open soon, is poised to become the next cult favorite for pizza and fresh bakes, while Barbetsie in Union Market promises innovative cocktails and neighborhood buzz. West African food climbs new heights at Elmina on 14th Street, where upscale dishes introduce listeners to the bold flavors of jollof and suya, often spiced with a nod to D.C.'s international soul.

    Beyond the table, D.C.’s culinary calendar is studded with festivals that showcase its democratic approach to food. The annual Giant BBQ Battle draws legendary pitmasters to Pennsylvania Avenue for smoky brisket and creative riffs like barbecue egg rolls. Passport DC’s month-long celebration of international culture transforms embassies and sidewalks into pop-up tasting rooms of global fare, while spring brings oenophiles to the DC Wine Fest at Union Market.

    Locality is more than a buzzword here—it’s a devotion. Chefs snap up Chesapeake blue crab, Virginia oysters, and heirloom produce from the region’s lush farmland, weaving them into D.C.’s patchwork of traditions: Ethiopian, Salvadoran, Vietnamese, Southern—each claiming its own corner of the menu.

    What sets D.C. apart is its sense of culinary possibility. It’s a city where embassies inspire chefs as much as farmers’ markets, where neighborhood hangouts and destination dining share the same block, and where every meal is a ticket to the world. For food lovers, Washington D.C. isn’t just the seat of government—it’s the capital of flavor revolution..

  • DC's Sizzling Summer: From Fungi Feasts to Reborn Classics, Chefs Dish Up the Capital's Hottest Plates!

    DC's Sizzling Summer: From Fungi Feasts to Reborn Classics, Chefs Dish Up the Capital's Hottest Plates!
    May 22 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Washington D.C.’s culinary landscape is abuzz with freshness and flair, serving up a heady mix of tradition, innovation, and global influences that’s giving even the most seasoned food lovers something to cheer about. The city’s appetite for reinvention is on full display this season, with newly opened gems and revived classics turning heads among power lunchers and trend-chasers alike.

    Case in point: The Occidental, an institution in the heart of the capital, has been spectacularly reborn under the guidance of restaurateur Stephen Starr. Once a haunt for politicians and celebrities, The Occidental now dazzles anew with its sleek décor, plush booths, and an Americana menu that tips its hat to nostalgia—think shrimp Louie, lobster Newberg, and roasted pheasant spectacularly carved tableside. It’s history served up with a satisfying side of spectacle.

    But D.C. hardly lives in the past. On U Street, Sagrada brings a whimsical, mushroom-centric tasting menu to the scene, courtesy of Knead Hospitality. Here, earthy non-psychoactive fungi become culinary stars across eight imaginative courses, blurring the line between fine dining and playful exploration—a testament to the city’s taste for the unexpected.

    D.C.’s multicultural energy is bubbling over with newcomers like El Mina, an upscale West African venture on 14th Street, while Manifest Bread is delivering high-heat Neapolitan pizzas to the carb-loving crowd. Meanwhile, Bar Betsie in Union Market is shaking up cocktails and appetites, making this district a magnet for night owls.

    When it comes to ingredients, chefs are doubling down on local bounty. From Chesapeake Bay oysters to peak-season produce sourced at the city’s storied farmers' markets, menus tell a story of regional pride and sustainable sourcing. Signature dishes often take inspiration from the capital’s diverse communities, bringing Ethiopian spices, Salvadoran pupusas, and contemporary Indian street food into the spotlight—Lutèce’s new wine bar and James Beard-approved Indian fare are just the latest to join the fray.

    For festival lovers, this summer is stacked: the “Taste of the DMV” returns to Pennsylvania Avenue on June 14, offering a joyful mashup of food stalls, live music, and cultural showcases. The DC Wine Fest and Passport DC are also on the calendar, inviting participants on delicious deep-dives through chocolate, wine, and world cuisine.

    At its core, D.C.’s dining scene is electrified by its intersection of politics, culture, and creativity. Here, chefs aren’t just cooking—they’re telling the capital’s evolving story with every plate. For anyone hungry for a taste of the future wrapped in history, Washington D.C. is the place to pull up a chair..

  • DC Dish: Capital Bites, Power Lunches, and a Side of Scandal

    DC Dish: Capital Bites, Power Lunches, and a Side of Scandal
    May 20 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Buckle up, listeners, because Washington D.C. is serving more than policy and monuments these days—the capital’s culinary scene is positively electrifying, with a surge of new energy that rivals any coast. D.C. has hit the sweet spot between tradition and trailblazing, where history-rich dining rooms meet audacious, boundary-breaking concepts.

    This spring and summer, according to Washingtonian, the city’s tables are set for a wave of anticipated arrivals. Among them, Tapori is winning buzz for its James Beard-approved Indian street food on H Street, and Lutece’s team will debut a wine bar pairing Gallic flair with a cosmopolitan wine list. Meanwhile, the Occidental, a long-standing institution, has undergone a stunning revival led by Stephen Starr. The rebooted dining room now marries Gilded Age glamour with old-school Americana menus—think shrimp Louie, lobster Newberg, and roasted pheasant carved tableside, all with the frisson of political intrigue just a stone’s throw from the White House.

    The innovation doesn’t stop with fine linen and polished silver. Sagrada on U Street, as reported by Resy, flips the script with an eight-course tasting menu focused on mushrooms—no psychedelics, just a kaleidoscopic journey through earthy, umami-laden Mexican dishes that redefine plant-based dining. Meanwhile, Wonder, a “next-gen” food hall launching this summer, is shaking up 14th Street with a fusion of local eats and national brands, including collaborations with culinary titans like José Andrés and Bobby Flay. This isn’t just convenience; it’s a curated flavor passport, all under one roof, and a partnership with DC Central Kitchen underscores a growing social conscience in the city’s food sector.

    Global street foods have claimed a spot on the capital’s main stage. Taqueria Xochi is a hotspot for birria tacos—saucy, fragrant, and messy in the best possible way—crafted by Chef Teresa Padilla, a veteran of the famed ThinkFoodGroup empire. You’ll also find buzz around Elmina, pioneering upscale West African cuisine on 14th Street, weaving jollof rice and pepper soup into the capital’s multicultural tapestry.

    DC’s food halls are rewriting the rules, from Union Market’s mosaic of BBQ, arepas, and seafood, to La Cosecha’s vibrant Latin American celebrations. Locally sourced Chesapeake seafood, Appalachian produce, and collaborations with neighborhood farms root many menus in Mid-Atlantic terroir, giving every dish a distinct sense of place.

    What sets D.C. apart? It’s a city where power lunches morph into pop-up adventures, where traditions from across the globe are remixed daily, and where even the humble taco is a political statement on a plate. For any food lover, D.C. is a feast of the unexpected—a culinary crossroads that’s redefining what it means to eat in the nation’s capital..
