Specifically, Chipotle,” says the Northern Virginia agent. “I love tacos and I love selling houses.” Camacho has long toyed with the idea of merging her two passions, and on Thursday, she finally did it, erecting a […]

But Clarity chef/owner Jonathan Krinn has dreamed up a way to revive the fine dining experience. On Saturday he’ll launch “A Lot of Clarity,” a five-course prix-fixe meal served in 16 designated “slips”—that’s the tonier […]

Pumpkin soup is paired with curried okra, and snapper is enlivened with melty leeks. Sweets follow the same plot-­lines. Go for the chess pie and the Mexican-hot-chocolate crème brûlée. Expensive.

Then move on to shares such as arroz con pollo, which marries crisp-skinned chicken with savory rice tinted green with cilantro, and chaufa—quinoa or rice done up with […]

The menu changes day to day, but there’s always some emulsion, some jus, some vinaigrette that takes a roasted pork leg or seared cut of kampachi to another plane. The kitchen’s finesse also leads to pleasant […]

Each location has its pluses (Falls Church is good for quick-grab, DC for happy hour) and its own menu items, but across the board you can expect Albisu […]

Don’t skip the rice dishes, accessorized with, say, candied orange peel and pistachios—we request a raw egg to mix into the hot basmati. Also good: Yogurt with cucumber; […]

Owners Ahmad and Aladdin Ashkar specialize in dry-rubbed, wood-smoked meats from their native Kansas City; don’t miss the burnt ends, hunks of brisket […]
