Johnna’s Pick of the Week: Bourbon Steak

Ironically, nothing about Patty Boom Boom is heavy. The atmosphere is easy, chill and lightens the pressure of the usual dance scene…you know the types: require shoes […]

Johnna’s Pick of the Week: Ardeo/Bardeo (DC)

Surprise, Surprise. Those were the words ringing in our heads as we ate at Ardeo/Bardeo. Funny we have passed these two spots a zillion times and never once ventured in to see and taste.
