Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatry Washington D.C.

Hello people that like food, if you live in the Washington D.C. area you might be interested in this. No I’m not talking about a new bank or a new law I’m talking about The Good Stuff Eatery one of the newer restaurants in the D.C. area. The head chef will be someone of interest for foodies, this chef is… Chef Spike Mendelsohn. Chef Spike is famous for appearing on Top Chef season four. He was the-person-that-went-home-way-to-soon of the season. Although this could be contested my the fact, that the man still came in 4th, but enough with the chit-chat lets get down into the dirty business. Spike’s main focus is on taking fresh ingredients and turning them into homemade, delicious, juicy burgers, and boy does all that work pay off. And I’m not the first blog to say so; I’m hereby defending a quote made by another blog, “The milkshakes are good, the fries are great, and the burgers… are WORLD CLASS.” So people, this is something new and this is an occasion, on my blog I will not be giving many “helpful hints” but if your in the D.C. area and your craving a, burger, fries or a milkshake find you butt down to the Good Stuff Eatery and get yourself the some of the good stuff. But really for those of you that really like to eat food, you should find your way down to D.C. because the food there is magnificent, because of all of the dignitaries and such the cuisine is of, the world. So you can like anywhere from Middle Eastern food to Southwest cuisine and you’ll find yourself right at home, also just to prove it’s a good town, they have a China town, really what good town these days doesn’t have a China town. So, so long for now but I wish you good luck and good eats.

P.S. If you have any good places I should look into please leave me a comment!

Home Cooking and Eating

As a first blog post, I thought it would make sense to do a post about home cooking and eating. Eating at home can be either very, very good or horribly bad. When it's good, it's so much fun because you get to cook great food at your own home kitchen. When it's bad, all I say is, "JUST GO OUT TO DINNER." Some of the luckier and more forutnate can have someone cook for them at their home. Now, it's not nearly the same, but it can still be good when you have fresh ingredients. The more fresh the ingredients, the better it tastes. Seafood is on my list of things I'm not too fond of. But seafood is one of the most fun things to cook, I think. If you like fish and you like to cook you should love this, because you get to cook longer and you get to make the marinade, and cook the fish. But fish is very hard to cook because if you cook it wrong, the person that's eating it can give it back to you, literally. And I don't mean by handing the plate back to you I mean, him eating it and then giving the food back to you. DISGUSTING. I personally love to cook shrimp, chicken and pasta, and pasta being my favorite, I cook that most often. But a couple monthes ago I found a recipe that is perfect for me, it was fried shrimp. This was great because shrimp is good and slightly fishy, but when you add the fried part, it gives you that salty, crunchy taste which I personally love. So to leave this blog all I can say good luck and good eating.
