Elsewhere, In The World Of Food

This isn’t necessarily DC food news per se, but I felt that it was worth mentioning regardless. Recently, I stumbled across a pair of pretty neat websites during the course of my online wanderings, both of which featured a ton of great information that I feel culinary-minded folks like yourselves might appreciate.

The first of these being Chowhound.com, a region-specific food message board that, among other things, plugs one in to an extensive and knowledgeable community of area foodies. Having trouble tracking down that key ingredient for your favorite recipe? Post said dilemma on Chowhound and you’ll probably come out in a better spot than you were when you started. I was personally drawn there in my attempts to find a decent currywurst in the district, so the possibilities really are endless. Check it out.

The second website was Beeradvocate.com. A self described "global, grassroots network, powered by an independent community of beer enthusiasts and industry professionals who are dedicated to supporting and promoting beer" Beeradvocate is one of the most extensive online beer communities that I have come across. It hosts a wealth of information concerning all of beer's many facets from production techniques to top regional breweries, so if beer is your beverage of choice, check this one out too.
