The Best of D.C. issue dominated readers' attention this week on Young & Hungry, including my mea culpa about Best New Restaurant. It's nice to see that teeth-gnashing confessionals haven't lost their power to attract attention. Best of D.C.: A Confession About Best New Restaurant Best of D.C.: Which New Restaurant Deserves Top Honors? Things [...]
It was an eventful week in local food. Kim O'Donnel went from losing her weekly cooking chat to launching another. Mark Slater got a new job, and Georgetown Wine and Spirits still can't drop any bomber bottles. Without further ado, the Top 5 posts... How Does Tom Sietsema Avoid Wolfing Down Useless Calories? Slater to [...]
As if the Huffington Post hasn't already proved it, the evidence is clear on Y&H: Linking to other people's blogs serves my own insatiable need for adoring readers, or readers of any kind really. I don't know what my journalism profs would say about all this, but two out of the five top posts this [...]
Two older posts continue to fascinate the readership of Young & Hungry. One is tragic. The other practically comedic. After that, the Top 5 posts of the week shape up this way: Gillian Clark's General Store Now Available for Sit-Down Service Saigon Bistro: A Best of D.C. Contender or Just a Pretender? Scene 1 from [...]

Thanks to the power of the internets, the first two spots on this week's list belong to posts from last week: one on the departure of Bill Catron from Brasserie Beck and the other on the Cameron Perks tragedy. After that, the Top 5 looks like this: The Sounds of Slurping: Get Ready for D.C. [...]
Like all the other Twits who think their friends and colleagues need to hear every single thought that pops into their heads—or at least those contained to 140 characters—Young & Hungry has swallowed hard and joined the Twitter Nation. I promise not to bore you with short stories (extremely short stories) about dog puke, achy body [...]
Thanks to a Huffington Post mention, Mike DeBonis' item last week about Adrian Fenty and Michelle Obama lunching at Georgia Brown's took the top honors this week. After DeBonis' upset win, the Top 5 settled down into the usual Young & Hungry mix of posts, which apparently aren't good enough for Huffington. Can You Blame [...]
This is depressing. The No. 1 item for the week was last week's celebrity-sighting post from the inauguration, which I'll dismiss faster than Lindsay Lohan from her latest rehab session. So starting with the No. 2 most popular post, here's this week's Top 5: The Obamas Hire Their Own Personal Chef, After All Urban Bar-B-Que [...]
I have just one word for you: celebrities. Y'all love 'em. They dominated the top two spots this week on the Young & Hungry blog. Jessica Alba, Tom Hanks, and Others Seen Dining at D.C. Restaurants Denzel, Dustin, and Tyra: You Know You Want to Know Where They Ate Can't Get into Your Favorite Restaurant [...]
