Dish of the Week: Kimchee jigae

With D.C.'s record standing at 2–2 in Kitchen Stadium – a win and a loss against Bobby Flay and Masaharu Morimoto each - Sunday night’s Thanksgiving-themed episode of Iron Chef America pitted Agraria’s head chef Ricky Moore against the Chairman’s newest Iron Chef, Michael Symon. From the beginning, the odds seemed stacked against Iron Chef Symon, who felt the pressure to earn his first victory after having won the Next Iron Chef competition. Add to...

Good morning, Washington. It's hot again out there today, with highs expected in the upper 90s, and folks in the city are understandably getting a little hot under the collar. Take Duane Stillions, who ABC7 reports was attacked by a pit bull on July 4 while walking his two small dogs. One of his dogs, Molly, a ten-pound Bichon Frise, is hospitalized in intensive care at a cost of $1,000 a day, and Stillions is...

This post from new DCist contributor, Matt Cordell How do D.C. chefs stack up? Last night, representatives were put to the test when José Andrés (owner of Zatinya, Café Atlantico, Jaleo, Oyamel, and minibar by josé andrés) and his sous chefs, Katsuya Fukushima and Ruben Garcia, stepped into Kitchen Stadium to do battle on Food Network's Iron Chef America. Despite being advertised in advance here, here, and here (looking like the Spanish Terminator), José "chose"...

Written by DCist Contributors Gayle S. Putrich and Mike Roscoe Awards season: long gone in Hollywood; just getting started for D.C.'s restaurants. If you don't believe us, just ask Cathal Armstrong of Restaurant Eve, Eamonn's, and the forthcoming Majestic. Armstrong has been named a contender for two awards in as many days: Best Mid-Atlantic Chef from the James Beard Foundation on Monday and now Chef of the Year by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington....

Washington chefs fell to 1-2 in Iron Chef America competitions, as Bobby Flay defeated the uni-monikered Morou in Battle Frozen Peas last night on the Food Network show -- two months after Galileo's Roberto Donna avenged his own loss to Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Morou -- the former Signatures chef who had earned the right to take on an Iron Chef when he topped former 1789 chef Ris Lacoste and Tosca's Cesare Lanfranconi in the...

Redskins-Cowboys. Ali-Frazier. Potter-Voldemort. Morimoto-Donna?

Today show tomorrow morning. NBC has shipped the Torino native and Galileo owner across the Pond to showcase local cuisine during the Olympics. Donna will appear as needed on Today as well as on other NBC affiliates. Check out NBC4 on Wednesday at 5 p.m. for another glimpse.

The AP reports that D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams travels today to New York to serve on the three-judge tasting panel at tonight's taping of an episode of the Food Network's Iron Chef America. Back in October, Williams was a member of the local tasting panel that picked former Signatures chef Morou to compete in the nationally televised cooking competition over Washington food luminary Ris Lacoste (formerly of 1789) and Ristorante Tosca’s Cesare Lanfranconi. Tonight, the...

Clicking on our television, we channel surfed our way over to the Food Network, where local chef Roberto Donna, proprietor of D.C. high-end Italian restaurant Galileo, would be taking up the Iron Chef America challenge against Masaharu Morimoto. Though we would have been psyched for an Iron Chef Mario Batali-Donna-all-Italian throwdown, we settled in for an evening of what we assumed would be a well-matched competition. Galileo is, after all, apparently one of the top...

Food critics can come from any number of places. The Post's Tom Sietsema is a graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown. Frequent Iron Chef America judge Jeffrey Steingarten was formerly a lawyer. Frank Bruni, now food critic for The New York Times, covered politics in D.C. for many years. So is it any surprise that one of the area's most idiosyncratic food reviewers is, by day, a professor of economics?

If you're looking for an entertaining (and appetizing) respite to the inevitable Inauguration hoopla we'll be dealing with next week, DCist suggests venturing down to Northern Virginia to see culinary hero Alton Brown sign copies of his new book "I'm Just Here for More Food". Brown, host of Food Network's Good Eats, will be signing copies at Barnes & Noble in Arlington at noon Tuesday and at Borders in Tysons Corner at 7:30 p.m. For our Baltimore readers, he'll also be at the Barnes & Noble in White Marsh at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Add Masaharu Morimoto to the list of renowned chefs coming to the D.C. area. As part of Tysons Corner's Fall 2005 expansion, the Iron Chef will bring a new concept, an upscale Asian-Fusion restaurant called Pauli Moto's Asian Bistro, to the expansion wing of the mall. Other tenants will include the area's only Oakley store, a new Urban Outfitters and a Famous Famiglia.
