Favorite restaurants:
Richmond, VA: Stella's - Greek food, plus... And Stella always treats me and my guests very well. Her Black Walnut-Apple Streusel "bread" at Christmas is totally amazing, and she only makes it for her "special customers" - I get two loaves every Christmas. -Each one weighs at least two pounds - just chock full of apples and almonds... oh, and the streusel topping is at least a half-inch thick! -And her "regular" bread is a Richmond legend!
-And there are some other fine places to eat in Richmond, very fine. Even nationally ranked and rated! Acacia, Mamma Zu's, Edo's Squid, The Track, Amici, Kuba-Kuba.. Great names, huh?
DC: Carlyle Grand Cafe and Sweetwater Tavern - Owned by the same company, similar menus, but each place has their signature dishes and style. Always dependable.
For sushi: Matuba - wonderful fish, and gracious service. But Makoto is the ultimate sushi experience. Practically magical - and expen$sive.
For tapas: Jaleo - The chef does amazing things, and has also just opened up a Mediterranean tapas place, Zaytinya, that serves small dishes from Greece, Turkey and Egypt.
For Spanish: Taberna del Alabadero. True Spanish cuisine served in a beautiful room.
For Seafood: Kinkead's - Simply wonderful.
