Thanksgiving dinner a little early at @tattooedmoose Park Circle: Lamb Slam, Thanksgiving Sammy (w/ turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce) plus smash burgers and plenty of duck fat fries.
Super delicious butterbean & farro salad and fried snapper sandwich from @jasondeanstanhope’s rebooted menu at @sullivansfishcamp.

Great lunch at @palmirabbq with @talesfromthepits and @zavalasbarbecue. Whole hog, sofrito sausage, beef cheeks, barbacoa-topped tostadas, and ribs with collards and those splendid Puerto Rican beans. The hash and rice was particularly savory and delicious today.
Still a little under the radar, amazingly, but always impressive: @167sushibar. Always have to go with my favorites, incl. marinated cucumber salad, “magic carpet” dumplings in tangy white shoyu sauce and the over-the-top duck fried rice(with the optional but not really optional egg, of course) and whatever the local CHS nigiri is (b-liner...

Geometry fact of the day: pie are square. At least it are at @tonisdetroitpizza, and loaded up with a ludicrous amount of brick cheese and totally delicious.
For a Virginia joint, the folks at @rappbarchs do a bang up job with shrimp 'n grits - esp. the okra and smoked tomato broth. (And the VA oysters are, of course, pristine.)
In my latest for the @postandcourier, @eastonbarbecueco could be the next new standout barbecue restaurant in South Carolina.
