As regular readers of this blog probably recognize, Y&H offers all sorts of food-related content. There's a morning round up of food news and commentary from around the web that I call "Last Night's Leftovers." There's a daily link to our regularly updated food events calendar. You'll also find original reporting, as well as commentary [...]
The review hasn't even officially hit doorsteps yet, but the foodie blogosphere is already buzzing about Tom Sietsema's take-down of the Mussel Bar, chef Robert Wiedmaier's kind of/sort of Brasserie Beck knock-off in Bethesda. Here are the pertinent grafs from Sietsema's half-star pan:
It's been a long time since Y&H gave some love to our Restaurant Raters — too long, in fact. I guess you could say we're back with a vengeance with this edition of Vox Populi. Not one, but two readers have chimed in with reviews of the Russia House, the Dupont Circle establishment where you [...]
Was Tamesha played by Angelo? I'm sorry, but I had to take a break from Top Chef D.C. for awhile. I can only take so much "reality" TV beofre my head feels like it's shrinking to the size of a jelly bean, ready to be eaten by the first self-starving former runway model hosting one [...]
If there was any theme to Wednesday night's episode of Top Chef D.C., it had to be this: Assistant White House chef Sam Kass is a total, to-die-for hunk, more than deserving of his spot on People magazine's list of the 100 most beautiful people.

[...]
Yeah, that's right, Y&H had high hopes for Mike Judge's new comedy, Extract, which is set in a food flavoring factory. I was hoping for something as dementedly funny as the scene from Judge's Office Space, in which a gaggle of cubicle drones drags a malfunctioning fax machine into the woods and beats the crap out [...]
Long before there was Yelp, there was the City Paper's Restaurant Raters, an army of well-armed (and palate-ed) diners who share their thoughts on the many places to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the metro area. After years of treating our raters like Britney treats her children, we've decided to re-energize the program. Really, [...]
In a piece that must send every chef's heart aflutter, the New York Times tells the story today of François Simon, France's most notorious food critic, who willingly took over the tiny Le Cochon à l’Oreille bistro and cooked for five straight nights.
