sushi 101: know your fish

Filed under: ingredients — Rudi @ around happy hour

Kudos to Sarah Gim over at Slashfood for her wonderful School of Fish series. Thus far, she’s covered almost 10 types of fish used in sushi and sahimi - well worth a visit, as even some of the more “veteran” sushi eaters might learn a thing or two.

dc loses a local brew

Filed under: generic label, ingredients — Rudi @ around supper time

A moment of silence for the passing of DC’s local brew, Foggy Bottom.

The Heurich family is finally shuttering the last vestiges of their brewing empire, effective immediately. It’s been many years since the beer was brewed in the District, at their once landmark factory at the Watergate (since replaced by the infamous apartment and office complex of All The President’s Men fame). Even though the beer was being brewed out-of-District, it still used the old family recipes.

But now it is no more. Buy some if you find it, because this is the end.
