Lunch at Bob Evans

I don’t eat gourmet food all the time. More often than not I’m quite happy with good old American comfort food. Next to pizza and burgers my favorites include flaky biscuits and chicken pot pie. There are several nationwide family chain restaurants in the US like Chili’s, Applebees, Denny’s and many more. They all serveContinue reading “Lunch at Bob Evans”

Dinner at J&G Steakhouse

My day in Washington DC started with a trip to the museum, lunch at Central, drinks at POV and ended with dinner at J&G Steakhouse located at W Hotel. J&G refers to popular French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. This restaurant combines some of the favorite dishes from his other restaurants in New York as well asContinue reading “Dinner at J&G Steakhouse”

The View from POV Roof Terrace

My cousin Sharon who works in DC wanted me to see the view from POV, a rooftop bar in W Hotel. I was to meet them there at 5:30 pm. After my super satisfying and filling lunch at Central I walked around the area and shopped a bit. I enjoyed the sights along the wayContinue reading “The View from POV Roof Terrace”

Does this look familiar? Remember the movie “Night at the Museum” starring Ben Stiller? That was shot at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. I’ve been to DC several times and have visited a lot of museums there. I went back to this particular museum just for the special “Rare Encounter” of a coupleContinue reading “Museum of Natural History”

I found a new love. A fast food love. I discovered Chipotle and fell head over heels in love with their tacos. In fact I ate at Chipotle twice and in 2 different states. Chipotle Mexican Grill is chain of restaurants that sell gourmet burritos and tacos. Just that. They are known for having aContinue reading “Lunch at Chipotle Mexican Grill”

Lunch at Coastal Flats

I’m not much of a seafood eater. I like it enough but it’s not my first choice when I eat out. That’s ironic since seafood is affordable and bountiful in the Philippines. My favorite seafood is lobster but I hardly see it in the menus in Manila because it’s very expensive. I was in TysonsContinue reading “Lunch at Coastal Flats”
