"I get that all but one of my favorite local things of the month are food; but what do you want from me? I'm a foodie!"

1. All That Yazz Soap: “I am obsessed with all things pretty and that smell good. This is both! Not to mention that it’s made from all-natural products, leaves your skin soft and is made with a Palm-Free Guarantee!"

2. Kingsbury Chocolate: “I love a good chocolate-covered salted caramel, but the ones you'll find at Kingsbury Chocolate (fleur de sel caramel) are divine!”

3. Hanabi Ramen Clarendon: “The Chashu Pork Spicy-Miso Ramen is absolutely delicious. If you love ramen, this will become one of your faves as well. Now that colder weather is on its way, you’ll want a bowl of this as often as possible.”

4. Palette 22: “The Bottomless Brunch is fabulous! Make sure that you grab your good friends, who all love to eat and try this brunch. The service, atmosphere and, of course, the food are all superb. Make sure you try the Arepas and Crab Arepas Benedict.”

5. BestBuns: “It’s not just their name. The buns are a must. No matter your preference, sweet or savory, they have something for everyone. I personally love the mini bundt cakes. When you stop by the Shirlington location, grab a bun and a nice hot cup of coffee this holiday season—or whenever!”

6. Cheestique: “I have a love affair with cheese that started at a very young age. Cheestique in Shirlington has the best cheese selection. One of my favorites is their pimento cheese spread!”
