Restaurant 3 Celebrates Week o' Bacon

I think it's safe to say bacon has moved from "trend" territory to kitchen keystone. And because chef Brian Robinson is a card-carrying member of the cult of bacon, Clarendon's Restaurant 3 is dedicating an entire week to cured pork, kicking off Wednesday, Oct. 21, and running through next Tuesday.

The appropriately named Week o' Bacon will feature a daily happy hour from 4-8 p.m. at the bar with porcine snacks like bacon on a stick (similar to the dish pictured above) and bacon-wrapped shrimp, as well as $3 craft beer draft specials.

Robinson, who cures his own bacon in-house, has also created a three-course bacon tasting menu for $30 ... bacon and egg salad, followed by bacon-crusted mahi with bacon potato hash, topped off with a bacon waffle with maple bacon ice cream.

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...
