so from time to time I get a 'dish' and order it at as many places, far and wide, to find my top choice. For example, a few years ago my sister requested I locate San Diego's #1 fish taco and after eating dozens of them I found it [bare with me] at the last place on your left hand side as you're walking to the water on Ocean Beach.. [find the name for me and you'll get a shiny new quarter].. though I no longer eat shark, that shark taco was by far the winner. My #1 Philly style cheese steak sandwich IN WASHINGTON, DC (not in the world, thanks Dan) is in a diner in the basement of the Berkshire apartment building on Mass Ave.. I don't know if the same Chinese lady works there so my cheese steak may have to move to Emmy from Georgetown Dinette in Georgetown.. #1 crabcake I do have to say is still Japoné Restaurant on 21 and P, DC and until now I was on the quest for my perfect chimichanga. I thought I found her a few months ago at Guapo's in Bethesda, Maryland but I kept the search going just to confirm. After this last trip out west I ordered a chimichanga from Left at Albuquerque in San Francisco [pictured above] which was quite good and probably in my top 3 for presentation.. but I've now decided I'm leaving it at Guapo's Bethesda for the #1 chimichanga and am closing the search.. make sure you get yourself out there. BTW, their sangria ain't half bad either ;)

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
