Restaurant Guides

Just a quick note to point out a change in the sidebar to the right. Many of you come to Metrocurean seeking restaurant recommendations, and the site isn't really set up to deliver a quick hit list. You'll now find what I think are the best guides for figuring out where to eat in our fair city at the top of the heap of links. I hope you'll find them as useful as I do.

Also stay tuned for a list of my own restaurant recommendations that will also live in the sidebar for easy reference.

You know, I can't say Restaurant Week is my favorite time to eat out. I think many restaurants have it down to a science after several years, but many are not at their best during RW.

That said, my advice is to eat at the most expensive places to get the most out of the promotion.

Lynne Breaux, director of RAMW, told me this go-round sets a record for the number of restaurants participating (about 170), which is great news for diners.

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...
