KYLE GUSTAFSON FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
Mdou Moctar at the Black Cat in May 2018. The Saharan musician
will be back at the Washington venue on Friday night, along with
the Brazilan quartet Boogarins. D.C.’s Time Is Fire opens the show.
different with more
accommodating hours?
Anywhere in D.C. proper or
Northern Virginia is fine.
A: I’ve got just the spot for you:
Piccolina da Centrolina, the
cute, little Italian source with
the big wood-burning fire in
CityCenter. Does chef Amy
Brandwein ever take a day off?
I’ve seen her there every time I
drop by the all-day, seven-days-
a-week retreat. I’m especially
smitten with the sandwich that
packs porchetta, mustard greens
and provolone between singed
panuozzo, a bread found in the
Campania region of Italy.
Q: What dining experiences in
D.C. have you missed out on, but
wish you hadn’t? For example, I
wish I had gone to Palena before
it closed.
A: I never ate at Jean-Louis at
the Watergate when it was
around (1979-1996). The revered
French restaurant was out of the
realm of possibilities when I was
a poor college student, and I left
the area for a food editing job in
Milwaukee in 1988. While I
returned to D.C. for visits, I
never splurged on JL, which my
colleague Tim Carman recently
wrote about in a piece on the
late chef.
Q: I left D.C. in 2007, and though
I’ve been back many times since,
I regret that I never made it to
Ray’s the Steaks. Back in the day,
I recall there were often long
lines and they didn’t take
reservations (so far as I can
remember).
A: I appreciated that Ray’s the
Steaks included side dishes in
the price of the steak, unlike just
about every steak house I know.
