The food truck phenomenon keeps rolling along. We recently checked out a soft opening of Eat Wonky—a repurposed delivery truck streaked in tie-dye blue and orange and bedecked with Eat Wonky’s eye-catching open-mouth logo. Owners Jeff and Minas bring Quebecois-style poutine (fries, cheese curds, and gravy) to DC, served either alone or atop a hot dog (a.k.a. Wonky style). Plain dogs and fries are available for the party poopers among you…

Vive La France! We and other DC-area food bloggers stormed BLT Steak this Bastille Day to sample executive chef Victor Albisu’s seasonal dishes.  Recently named DC’s top Power Spot, BLT Steak (founded by the illustrious French chef Laurent Tourondel) offers sophisticated bistro steakhouse fare.

Little known fact: we have Swiss relatives. This explains why we spent several weeks this summer in the tiny village of Appenzell, best known for Appenzeller Swiss cheese. Dubbed “the spiciest cheese from Switzerland,” this full-fat, semi-hard cow’s milk cheese goes back over 700 years! While in Appenzell, we visited Hof Käserei in Weissbad to watch the Appenzeller cheese-making process.

It’s no secret that we’re suckers for lobster. Heck, last summer we even trekked to the Maine Lobster Festival to get our fill of the crusty crustacean. But this year, we can stay at home and have the taste of New England come to us when the Red Hook Lobster Pound truck rolls into the District.
