Mark Abraham’s classic Italian cuisine, and affordable table wine that you once could pour yourself (ef you VABC). Cozy, friendly, and right down the street, Monroe’s is a staple in my hood.

Vaso’s Kitchen

No frills, no website, no filler or fuss.  Just great food that straddles Greece and Italy, a huge neon pig with an effed up nose, and Vasso, a great cook who’s recipe for red sauce I’ll some day own.

I enjoyed your Washington Post article on jerk chicken. It is one of my favorite foods and I’m always looking for a new place to try. The best I’ve found is Irie Caribbean American in Woodbridge (14545 Jeff Davis Hwy wwww.iriecarribbeanfood.com). I ask for mine extra spicey and after they know you, they will pump up the spice. They also sell the Walkerswood jerk spice you mentioned in the article. Mango Mike’s has the absolute worst jerk chicken I’ve ever tasted.
