Fogo de Chao: Fully-Vested
I really have no idea how to write a review on an eatery, and I’ve never even really felt the need to even write one prior to this. However, after my recent experience at Fogo de Chao on 11th and... (Continue reading)
Casa Oaxaca: Fully-Vested

Roy’s Place: Fully-Vested

Capitol City Brewing Company: Fully-Vested
The last few months have been unsettled to say the least. As the seasons change everyone is in a time of transition (swapping your shorts out for your sweaters and jeans is a tall task). Disposable income is hard for... (Continue reading)
Lawsons: Fully-Vested
It is a pleasant treat to feel connected. A great example is morning hunger. Everyone has morning hunger. Everyone has their routines, but they are all trying to accomplish the same thing. Eat. My routine goes like this: Wake up and get... (Continue reading)
Tarara Winery: Fully-Vested
My love of wine and my desire to avoid all things commonplace in suburbia were officially married this weekend. As a young professional and business owner, I am attached at the hip to my Palm Treo and a tight-fit schedule... (Continue reading)
I Got Crabs from Captain Pells
Tucked away in Fairfax is a small, family operated seafood restaurant known as Captain Pells. I’ve only been there twice (I plan to go many more times), and both times I’ve gone I’ve ordered the same thing: all you can... (Continue reading)

I resided in the Fairfax/Centreville area for all of 2008 but never was able to make it to Alto Plaza. I drove past it daily but could only admire its grandiosity from afar. Now, I have the skinny... (Continue reading)
