The Corn Factory Review

Living in Orlando spoiled me a bit because their food truck scene has become a staple of the city’s cuisine. In Washington D.C, the scene is a less organized, but there are tons of trucks that call the city home. I have followed The Corn Factory for awhile, and have eagerly awaited checking out their menu of arepas, tacos, and tamales (my favorite foods in the world). Because they jump around […]

Burrito Brothers Review

After a disastrous turn of events that would have stranded me at the Atlanta airport for hours on end, I decided to jump in the car and drive back to Orlando with my mom and fly out of MCO the next morning.  During our six hour drive, we made plans to stop in Gainesville, which is a town I have not checked out yet as a blogger.  As I searched for […]

L'Thai Organic Cuisine Review

It’s been a really, really long time since I last sought out Thai Food. Maybe it’s because there are no good options in my neighborhood in Baltimore, maybe it’s because I’ve been sidetracked exploring other food genres.  Either way, my visit to L’Thai Organic Cuisine just outside of Atlanta proved to be the perfect opportunity to reunite with one of my favorite comfort food dishes- green curry. Long overdue for a […]

True Food Kitchen Review

Click here to read my updated review of True Food Kitchen’s Chevy Chase, MD location from January 2020.  After spending some time in North Carolina over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I found myself in Atlanta a day before flying back home. With a little time to explore, I decided to check out True Food Kitchen at the Lennox Mall. The restaurant is a chain that promotes real, good food as a way […]

Heritage Bakery & Cafe Review

At the eleventh hour, my Thanksgiving travel plans changed because I felt like I was beginning to succumb to oncoming sickness. Instead of flying to North Carolina for the holiday, my mom and I jumped in the car and drove from Baltimore down to avoid the hassle of fighting the stress of flying.  We stayed overnight in Virginia, and when looking for breakfast the next day, I zeroed in on Heritage […]

Modern Market Review (Giveaway)

While passing through Washington DC last weekend, I decided to take the red line Metro up to Bethesda to check out a restaurant that had piqued my interest: Modern Market. Located in the Bethesda Row shopping center, I was lured in with the promise of menu that had  Modern Market is the rare hybrid of a lot of hot restaurant trends popping up these days that actually works. Their food is […]

The Protein Bar Review

I’ve been to Washington D.C. enough times now that I now have to debate whether to visit beloved restaurants I have already been to or check out new ones. On my latest excursion, I decided to do the latter and check out as many new places as I could in my short time in the city. Making the list for places I wanted to check out was The Protein Bar, […]

Fruitive Review (Smoothie/Acai Bowl)

November is a little bit past prime smoothie season here in the Mid Atlantic, but I wasn’t about to let chilly temperatures stop me from checking out a 100% organic plant-based cafe in Washington D.C. that puts juices, smoothies, and blended bowls front and center on their menu. Being 100% plant-based means that there are not animal products used (meat, eggs, milk, etc.) and that everything is vegan.  Fruitive is not […]

Tucson Tamale Company Review

Tamales hold a special place in my foodie heart because they are naturally gluten-free and are endlessly versatile in regards to toppings.  Last month at the Natural Products Expo East, I discovered the Tucson Tamale company, whose diverse line of tamales are all gluten-free. Unfortunately, only one tamale they were sampling was both gluten and dairy-free (the blue corn and veggie) at the show. When Tucson Tamale Company reached out offering to send me a wider […]

Goodman Gluten Free Review

I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to avoid longingly looking through the bakery section of grocery stores mourning the loss of being able to eat the breads and sweets that are laden with gluten and dairy. Although I try not to do it too often, a recent trip to the store made this tempting habit really pay off. While at my local Fresh Market, I was […]
