I wanted to share a photo of my recent dining experience (actually a few weeks ago) while attending a social event in Washington D.C. After a long night of walking in heels and re-applying lipstick, it was time to eat dinner!
We decided to visit Georgia Browns and dine from their famous Southern menu. I ordered the Grilled Atlantic Salmon and glass of wine. We ended the evening with a Flourlesss Chocolate Torte which was delicious!
Georgia Browns is said to have a live jazz band and Sunday brunch. If you’re in the area stop by their restaurant and indulge in the culinary tradition!
