I love eating out. I view it as such a lovely way to spend time with people and to just catch up over a meal and some wine. In Food Reviews, I’ll talk about some of my favorite meals and restaurants. Because I live in D.C. and visit Florida frequently, most of my reviews will be from those areas. If you have suggestions of places or things to try, let me know! (Also, this blog started out as solely a mac’n’cheese blog, so most of my earlier reviews will focus on cheesy things….and let’s be real, most of my new review will, too!
Everything on this page will be something that I love, but I will rank how much I love it by using the following system: 3 Bites = can’t live without, 2 Bites = always dream about, 1 Bite = only sometimes dream about. Bottomline: everything is worth eating.

Péché’s French Onion Soup – 2 Bites
Restaurant: Péché Location: Austin, Texas Dish: Classic French Onion Soup This French onion soup was delicious. I’ve always had a love for French onion soup – like an eat-the-cheese-off-the-sides-of-the-dish and dip-chicken-fingers-in-the-broth kind of love. To top it off: I don’t like onions. In fact, I despise them. But I LOVE French onion soup (I justContinue reading “Péché’s French Onion Soup – 2 Bites”
