I was super excited to learn that my “Five Bites” were published today. For those of you not following the DC food scene, let me give you a quick overview. Metrocurean (a regular serving of epicurean news from the nation’s capital) runs a weekly spot called Five Bites:

Five Bites is a weekly opportunity for Metrocurean readers to share the dishes and drinks they’re enjoying around town.

I always read these because it’s so interesting to find out what people love to eat and where people love to dine. And then, it dawned on me… why don’t I submit my own? And voila! My five bites were born:

This week’s Five Bites are from Molly (at right), who occasionally blogs, enjoys spicy food and fizzy water, and aspires to be the next Anthony Bourdain.
