Formal request to @BGRBurgerJoint
This blog post serves as a formal request to BGR Burger Joint. I came across a recipe for one of the best burgers I’ve truly ever made, and I’d like for BGR to consider adding it to their menu.

Arlington Magazine launch party
I was invited to attend the Arlington Magazine launch party last night at Eventide in Clarendon and what a fabulous event it was! I’ve said it before, but the folks at Arlington Magazine are truly the kindest and most talented folks I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Throughout the evening, the signature “Arlington Cocktail” (see photo and recipe below) was poured and...
