Great DC Burger Hunt Continues…Ray’s H...

My Saturday didn’t start out very good.  Remember that little skydiving thing I told you about?  Didn’t happen…and not because I chickened out.  In fact, I even got on the plane, hooked up to my tandem instructor and ready to go.  But the plane had to be grounded due to mechanical issues.  That was the least of the problems with the whole skydiving attempt, but I shall save that until after I reschedule my second...

When I decided to go on the hunt for the best burger in DC, I promised myself I would be true and honest to the process.  I would, to the best of my abilities, remove all bias and provide my unvarnished opinions.  It is with this in mind that I decided I must provide an update on the burger that started it all at Trio.  Last night, after a very long and drawn out week, The Boy and I decided to pick up a couple of burgers...

Sunday Brunch at Commonwealth...

I will be honest, I had completely forgotten about Commonwealth, the new gastropub in Columbia Heights. I was invited to the soft opening back in the Summer and was delighted by its take on British food (read: making British food actually taste good). I also really liked the fact that Jamie Leeds and his partner Sandy Lewis vowed to use a lot of fresh, local and in season ingredients in their dishes. But somehow the...

In Search of DC’s Best Burger…....

It all started when the Boy and I aimlessly wandered into Trio on 17th Street in DC. I wasn’t really expecting much from the joint…it was just a compromise decision because we were both very hungry. I usually don’t eat a lot of red meat (or any meat for that matter…especially if you take a look at my new recipe index), but that night I really, really wanted a burger. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger...
