City Perch Kitchen + Bar Food Review

Brunch Burger at City Perch Kitchen + Bar

Considering iPic Theatres is our unequivocal choice for the best movie "experience" in town, part of me was genuinely looking forward to today's brunch at City Perch Kitchen + Bar at Pike & Rose. Although given the distance (10+ miles) and weather (mild, rainy) a positive review would require more than "greatness by association." Unfortunately, with the exception of one stellar employee and a piece of toast, I left shaking my head in disappointment.

Blackwall Hitch Brunch Review

Made-to-Order Omelette, Bacon, Country Sausage & Breakfast Potatoes

It takes something special to rouse me out of bed on an ice cold Sunday morning. Krispy Kreme doughnuts? Fat chance. Sausage McGriddles? Try again. How about Sunday Brunch at Blackwall Hitch in Old Town Alexandria? Now we're talking. Piping hot Maryland Crab Soup? Endless Peel & Eat Shrimp? Who wouldn't hop on two trains and a (free) trolley to get some of that?

Silver Diner to Make First Major Menu Change in 10 Years

Executive Chef Ype Solicits Extensive Feedback from Customers to Shape the Summer Menu

Silver Diner’s Executive Chef Ype Von Hengst recently announced that he will undertake major menu revisions to the Silver Diner menu. “It was 10 years ago that we extensively changed menu items and implemented a large number of farm-to-table items. This year, we will shorten the menu to increase quality and add new items including more brunch items,” said Von Hengst. Silver Diner has made changes along the way including the addition of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lower calorie items but the entire menu has not been edited this drastically in 10 years. All of these changes have been a big success with customers, so Von Hengst is evaluating each current item on the menu and will remove those that are low sellers.
