Local. Organic. Butcher. There are few things in life that excite us the way that those three words do. One reason being that we like to support local purveyors, two organic is always good, and three we love us some good meat! But where does one find such a place? Although more organic markets are popping up, organic butchers still seem few and far between. We were lucky enough to get a tip on The Organic Butcher located in McLean. Before we go any further we know what you’re thinking- “McLean?!?!” We realize that it is outside the beltway and were a little hesitant at first, but once we experienced some of the best lamb we ever had it completely justified the trip. Any so-called “foodie” would understand that sometimes to find the good stuff you have to put a little more effort into it than walking two blocks from your house (but not to worry, they are shopping around for a spot to open a D.C. location).

Our pal Amanda over at Metrocurean reports that West Coast import Cowgirl Creamery's opening is imminent.

What’s going on with the Post’s Food Section? Between last week’s piece on the Warehouse District and this week’s articles on soft shell crab and RFD’s Brooklyn Brewery tasting, it appears the WaPo's Food section has improved from the days of Christmas cookie spreads and brunch for beginning entertainers. Still. Isn’t the section about to fold? And if so, when? Rumor mill tells us it’s within a matter of weeks -- and that the paper...

Just when we thought it was safe to go get some frozen custard, corporate evil rears its ugly head yet again. Del Ray institution, the Dreamery, is being forced to change its name by Integrated Brands, Inc., the folks who make Edy's. "Integrated Brands." What kind of name is that? Apparently the kind that hates fun. And freedom. Anyway, Dreamery owner Liz Davis is holding a contest to come up with a new name. Fortunately, the name change will have no effect on the custard or the monthly brat[wurst] nights. The winner of the contest gets free custard for a year. "Suck It, Edy's" has already been submitted, so don't even try.
