On the Town

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.
