Wheelhouse Twitter/X Food Review

The Jib with French Fries at Wheelhouse

In Our Wheelhouse

Dinner at the new Wheelhouse, just south of Chevy Chase Circle. Packed on a Tuesday night (2 deep at the bar, 25 minute wait for a table) Loud but still a nice energy. Great young staff. Friendly & attentive. $9 Hush Puppies with a tasty apricot butter (bits included) crunchy outside, creamy inside with jalapeños to boot. Generously sized B $28 Jib is a French Dip with almost rare prime rib & horseradish cream tucked inside a French baguette. Au jus on the side with really good, dirty shoestring fries B Not too pricey, and definitely the 🆕 hotspot in Chevy Chase.

Grade: B (good food, better service.)

bhc Chicken Twitter/X Food Review

5PC (Spicy) Wings combo at bhc Chicken

Korean fried chicken is easier to find than ever, so good doesn’t necessarily cut it anymore. @bhc_official__ recently opened in Ballston & our 1st visit took an extra 15 minutes to start 😠 Once in hand however, positivity took over, 5 stellar wings… big, crunchy, hot 🥵 & loaded with high quality meat. B+ Matcho-King sauce for dipping is little more than a runny soy sauce C- Fries were crispy, hot & super clean (A+ on the oil test) B+ Small soda cups & the aforementioned surprise wait = disappointing. $17.22 for a combo is probably 3 bucks too much, but everyone’s gouging nowadays, right? Crowded for a Saturday late afternoon, so clearly others like it.

Grade: B- (One & done)

Tuner Twitter/X Movie Review

Dustin Hoffman & Leo Woodall (r) star in Tuner

An Eligible Virtuoso

Rotten Tomatoes Plot: In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher's first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as well as for tuning Steinways. With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki's safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.

Little Beast Cafe & Bistro Twitter/X Retro Food Review

Tomato Bisque at Little Beast Cafe & Bistro

Now That's a Combo

Retro Review (12/30/25) For such a little (pun intended) menu, the folks at @LittleBeastCafe sure know how to please. This end-of-the-year visit featured a break from their standout pizza, but still produced near-orgasmic reactions. Great service ALWAYS, and a to-die-for Tomato Bisque (sans the Grilled Cheese) with equally lethal (in a great way) Classic Buffalo Wings. Said wings (15 bucks) are huge, crispy and chock-full of fleshy, perfectly-cooked meat inside. The buffalo sauce is just the right amount, so as not to overwhelm. A (possibly the best wings in DC.) As for the soup, it demands to be placed on the menu by its lonesome (so everyone can enjoy.) Perfect texture and flavor. A+

Grade: A+
