Another week, another workout for your liver. At least, that's what we Lagerheads say. Monday the pros at Birreria Paradiso in Georgetown are partnering with Great Lakes Brewing Company for their monthly beer dinner. The menu looks particularly off the hook this month, and the event also serves as the D.C. premiere of Lake Erie Monster, [...]

This week is National Cask Ale Week in the U.K., and real ale fans all over the colonies are celebrating by drinking hand-pumped beer. If you are looking for an authentic experience (but have no plans to jump the pond) we suggest heading to Pratt Street Ale House in Baltimore. They will be pouring $5 [...]

The SAVOR salons were posted just in time for advance tickets to go on sale yesterday, and we are delighted to see that in addition to many of our beer heroes (we'll call them beeroes) from some of the best breweries in the country, several local beer and food gurus will be featured at the event. The [...]

The Lagerheads kicked off last month's DC Beer Week with an Allagash beer dinner at Granville Moore's, where Rob Tod, founder of Allagash Brewing Company, and Teddy Folkman, executive chef at Granville Moore's, led us through six outstanding courses. Gathered that night were about thirty beer lovers who listened intently (though admittedly less so as the [...]

Update: Through some legal snafu, Brew at the Zoo will not be technically affiliated with D.C. Beer Week. All events are still on, though. For beer drinkers, this mostly means that you won't see them listed on the same poster. The Lagerheads piqued our interest earlier about a potential D.C. Beer Week in August that [...]

Between the RAMMYs, the Food & Wine Festival at National Harbor, Teddy Folkman's turn on The Next Food Network Star, and the (I shit you not) Kids' Restaurant Week, I think one legitimately serious gastronomic event has been overlooked: Chilean chef Matias Palomo's week-long stint at Ceiba.

Thanks to the Almighty Power known as Google, several oldies-but-goodies rose to the top of the hit parade this week. Of course, even the oldies took a backseat to a Power Larger Than Google: Old Ebbitt Grill. This week's faves, according to you, Y&H's readers: You'll Never Guess the No. 6 Restaurant in America in [...]

Englert no doubt searching for Folkman's replacement. Nightclub mogul Joe Englert might be surprised at the lies his staff apparently spun to hide Teddy Folkman's absences for weeks of taping, but he's not shocked that his Granville Moore's chef has become a finalist for the Next Food Network Star. Englert has been singing Folkman's praises [...]

Folkman (front) in his pre-Star days Teddy Folkman, a fixture on our Best of D.C. lists, will soon have a chance to prove his worth to a wider audience. The chef at Granville Moore's (and spanker of Bobby Flay) has been selected as one of ten finalists for the fifth season of The Next Food [...]
