  • 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..

    Dish on DC: Capitol Bites, Politico Plates, and Foodie Power Plays!
    May 17 2025
    Food Scene Washington D.C.

    Washington D.C. is having a moment that food lovers can’t afford to miss. The city’s restaurant scene is exploding with bold new openings, innovative concepts, and a growing vibrancy that’s making the capital one of the nation’s most dynamic dining destinations. Take The Occidental, for example—this storied institution has been revived by Stephen Starr, blending old-school Americana classics like lobster Newberg and roasted pheasant with a chic, modern setting that attracts politicians and foodies alike. Not far away, Sagrada on U Street is rewriting the rules of Mexican cuisine with an eight-course mushroom-centric tasting menu. The playful dishes here deliver all the whimsy of a magic mushroom trip—minus any mind-altering effects—while showcasing local, seasonal produce in every bite, reflecting D.C.’s devotion to farm-fresh ingredients.

    But the city isn’t just about fine dining. There’s a palpable buzz around Wonder, set to open its first D.C. location this June on the 14th Street corridor. This next-gen food hall—partnering with DC Central Kitchen, no less—brings together culinary luminaries like Bobby Flay and José Andrés under one roof, revolutionizing both mealtime and food delivery for the District. It’s hard not to get giddy at the thought of sampling iconic pizza from Di Fara and smoky Texas barbecue from Tejas Barbeque all in a single visit.

    D.C.’s global palate is on full display as well. From James Beard-approved Indian street food making waves this spring, to new Thai eateries like Birdsong Thai on Chevy Chase and a wine bar from the highly regarded Lutèce team, the city is savoring flavors from around the world with ever-increasing sophistication and flair. Meanwhile, cutting-edge tech is creeping into kitchens, with innovations like AI-powered restaurants emerging on the culinary horizon, blending tradition with futuristic service models.

    The city’s calendar is as appetizing as its menus. June brings the fourth annual A Taste Of The DMV festival, taking over Pennsylvania Avenue with food trucks, local vendors, and live music—an all-ages, open-air celebration of everything deliciously D.C. Later in August, the Around The World Cultural Food Festival in nearby Alexandria transforms waterfront Oronoco Bay Park into a global tasting arena, where each participating country is represented by a single, top local restaurant.

    What sets Washington D.C. apart is its ability to blend history, politics, and diverse cultures on every plate. Here, Chesapeake blue crab meets Ethiopian berbere, and political power lunches coexist with vibrant street food scenes. D.C. is no longer just the city of power brokers—it’s now a playground for culinary adventurers and a must-taste destination for listeners hungry for something new..
