#dcfoodscene

I don't post a lot (if at all) about someone else's cooking. But I should start doing that... & What a better way to start than by praising @makan_dc #DC folks, if you'd like to enjoy flavorful food, please support this establishment. Chefs @jameswozniuk & @moebuns are out to creat something wonderful, & bring the Malay food to you! They're opening soon, so head over to #ColumbiaHeights & get your hands on some awesome food &/or drinks from @thirstycrowdc . The bartender down there is awesome as well! Just like @thipkhaodc , #Makan will be a great addition to the burgeoning #DCFoodScene where you'll be able to expand you food pallette, & explore awesome (& often underrepresented) cuisines from around the world!

A few months ago I went to @rosesluxury for the second time. @laurenlemunyan and I sat at the counter where we could eat and watch the kitchen at the same time. What a great place. Can't wait to go back. --- #rosesluxury #foodie #dcfoodie #nightout #washingtondc #dcfoodscene #whatilearnedtoday (at Rose's Luxury)
