O.K. Washington shutterbugs, we need to talk. You folks take incredible pictures. Some of them require an hour’s set up, some of them are composed with great care, others are snapped to catch a rare moment. They are unique, expressive, and very special to everyone here at DCist. What they aren’t, by and large, is of food. Food and drinks might not be as sexy as a macro shot of a beautiful flower, or as stunning as a night shot of our heavenly neighbors, but photos that convey the sumptuousness of Colorado Kitchen’s shrimp and grits or the delicate texture of Rasika’s palak chaat get some of our motors going just as much.

So those of us here at DCist Food and Drink are humbly asking for your attention (and gratefully thanking those of you who have submitted food photos). Are you trying out Kotobuki for the first time? Are you adventuring down the aisles of H Mart? Impressed by that drink you just ordered at Urbana? We want to see it! José Andrés has proven that Washington is a top-rate food town, so brave the wrath of restaurateurs and capture your charcuterie. Keep those great photos you’re already putting up rolling in, but don’t leave us hungry! Tag your photos with “dcist,” and the name of the restaurant, and the rest is link-love gravy.
