Curley’s Q: Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em.
The general consensus is that in order to get great BBQ, one must head south. Unfortunately, the great strongholds of American BBQ: Texas, Memphis, Kansas City, are something of a road trip away. Fortunately for us, the conventional wisdom does not necessarily apply here in the district. See, I have experienced some truly delicious Q by looking North. North to Montgomery County that is.
Curley’s Q is a relatively new BBQ truck based outside of DC, in Montgomery County. Started by the truck’s namesake David ‘Curley’ Cornblatt less than two months ago, this bright yellow number serves up copious amounts of hardwood smoked meat.

The Morning Roundup 4/24/2012
Today is the second day in a row with some pretty weak deals. Im hoping that this means that we are in for some great offers on the back end of this week. Here is today’s roundup.
Fifty-Fifty: Once again, Scoutmob’s saving grace is that its coupons require no advanced purchase or even printing. If this weren’t the case, today’s $5 off at Los Hermanos would likely be an avoid. This isn’t to say that the genuine Dominican food at this Columbia Heights grocery turned cafeteria style dining room isn’t great.

Yellow Vendor: Truck Love
I have been involved in my own private love affair with food trucks for quite some time now. Our relationship is exciting and ever changing. Yes, sometimes food trucks let me down, and of course we have problems just like everyone else. But we always seem to bounce back and I frequently find myself returned to the warm embrace of the ever-welcoming food truck community.
My relationship with these rolling restaurants didn’t begin with Yellow Vendor, but since first having it a while back, the sparsely adorned bright yellow truck has sat on page one of my little black book.

The Morning Roundup 4/17/2012
We have a couple of tough calls this morning. And there is a whole lot to talk about, but, we can put another notch in the Scoutmob column today, as once again their deal reigns supreme.
Must-Buy: Today’s Scoutmob offers $5 for $10 at FoBoGro’s sandwich shop, located under their eclectic grocery on campus at GWU. I know five dollars seems pretty small, but Scoutmob’s ‘no need to buy ahead’ formula makes this a no brainer. The sandwiches here are big and memorable, especially the big fat Pauley, a big turkey number which has cooler ranch doritos on it, and The Famous McDougall, a buffalo chicken sub that will likely leave you with some leftover.

Pi Truck DC: Going Crust Deep
Pizza is not easy. In fact, trying to break into the heavily saturated pizza market that is DC seems like some twisted form of sadomasochism. Pizza is everywhere in DC. Every neighborhood has their favorite spot, be it one of the Pizzeria Paradiso locations, Comet Ping Pong (named best pizza in DC by Food Magazine) way up Connecticut North, or one of the several places to pick up a ‘Jumbo Slice’ in Adams Morgan or the U Street corridor. All this variety and local favoritism would be daunting for any wannabe pizza pusher, but the folks over at Pi Truck DC are bringing something special.

Food Truck 101: An Introduction
Food Trucks are like people. Some folks love them, some folks don’t. They come in all sizes and shapes and colors. Some smell bad. Some smell unbelievable. Some are so attractive that when they go by, they slow down traffic, while some food trucks fly under the radar, seemingly uncaring about trendy fashion and flashy gimmicks, only to shock us with the goodness that is inside. But perhaps the most important similarity between food trucks and people is that, in the DMV anyways, their population seems to be growing at an alarming rate.
