Hot Ladies Love Bangkok Joe's

Bangkok Joe's, the stylish dumpling bar and Thai restaurant down on Georgetown's waterfront, had a visit from the hottest woman in the universe last Wednesday.

According to a PR tip-off, "Miss Universe 2005, 23-year-old Natalie Glebova of Toronto, Canada, arrived at the Georgetown restaurant around 8 p.m. for a delicious Thai dinner with her four friends, who she was visiting while in town. After enjoying Chef Aulie Bunyarataphan's Pork 'n Crab Shu Mai, Pad Thai, and sipping a Mango Margarita, the outgoing Glebova signed autographs and posed for a photo with Proprietor Mel Oursinsiri."

Glebova (pictured at Bangkok Joe's) was crowned in Bangkok, Thailand. She "was very complimentary and said she has been captivated with Thai food and culture, since her visit to Thailand during the pageant," Oursinsiri said. "We were very honored to share our Thai cuisine with her."

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have been spotted recently, allegedly at Cafe Milano and Vidalia, and word has it that the first lady herself enjoyed a meal at the new Sonoma on Capitol Hill.

Seen anyone of note dining in D.C. lately?

Can't imagine why anyone would eat at Bangkok Joe's. I work right there and I won't patronize the place - the decor may be nice, but the food is truly atrocious.

Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
