Jimmy CocktailJimmy Cocktail is highly respected for his skills in the kitchen, with the smoker and on the grill. When he's feeling really saucy, he's not too bad with a guitar. He long ago learned that you do not have to spend a lot of money to enjoy really good wines and he also thinks that if food and wine are good, then adding music and making it a party must be better! |
Been There, Eaten ThatLori Gardner
Dining out is my passion, and often times the culmination of hours of research. This blog reflects my journey as I try to keep up with my
restaurant wish list for the DC area where I live, and in my travels. It's a struggle at times, but with the help of family and friends (and a celebrity chef here and
there), I manage.

My passion is food. Yes, I said "FOOD" ! I am intrigued with the many dishes that can be created from simply combining items from your
pantry and your local grocer. Also, I am completely and utterly in love with spices to the point where I have begun blending an assortment of species to create my own
seasonings. After all, food is not only an art but also a science. This is a work of art where I plan to conduct unlimited appetizing experiments.

Johnna Johnna Knows Good Food started as simply a way to share my recipes and restaurant reviews with friends. Now two scores and some months later, JKGF has grown into my outlet for all things food. I.m a work in progress as is JKGF (*Note to self: I will learn how to take professional pictures.). Though a Washington, DC based food blog, I keep the range of topics/restaurants/trends broad. |
