Gender Euphoria - So often the stories shared by trans people about their transition center on gender dysphoria: a feeling of deep discomfort with their birth-assigned gender, and a powerful catalyst for coming out or transitioning. You can pick it up at any Busboys bookstore or wherever books are sold, including through our page. Join us in celebration with Gender Euphoria editedby Laura Kate Dale. This book club is for anyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ and wants to talk about queer books you can also attend as an ally or if you're questioning! Show up for good food, good books, and good friends - plus, when you show up you get 10% off your bookstore purchase for that day!įor June, Pride Month 2023, read about trans and gender-diverse people’s joy in their identities. There we'll gather to discuss a specific book by a queer author or about a queer subject matter. As far as hotel, I would put money on Bourdain shacking up the Mayflower, scene of Eliot Spitzer’s undoing.Every last Sunday of the month we'll be hosting Queer Book Club led by Nathan, the Takoma Bookstore Supervisor, at Busboys and Poets Takoma. It’s worth remembering Bourdain is also a best-selling author so a visit to Politics & Prose or Busboys and Poets may also be in the cards (the latter has the distinct advantage of proximity to Ben’s Chili Bowl). I would also pay top dollar to see these two chefs try to out smack talk each other but, sadly, I’m sure they’d just be BFF instead. Seriously.) The combination of pared-down ambiance and high quality beef at Hell Burgers would be right up his alley. (I have never seen anyone get so excited for organ meat. Ray’s Hell Burgers: If nothing else, Bourdain really goes crazy for simple, unpretentious dishes in simple, unpretentious places. I hope at least one of them gets some face time. (Bourdain: If you are reading this, please be sure to buy your crew a round over at Granville Moore’s, okay?)Ĭentral and/or Citronelle and/or Komi and/or Restaurant Eve: All restaurants worthy of Bourdain’s visit, all fantastic chefs. Horace & Dickie’s: Classic fish sandwiches in an historic-cum-gentrifying neighborhood. Inn at Little Washington: Hey, we’d go there too if a fancy cable network was picking up the check. Hole-in-the-wall Ethiopian joint: See above, rinse and repeat. Since the filming schedule probably includes some ring-kissing over at the Travel Channel, the restaurant in question may likely be in the Maryland suburbs near their Chevy Chase HQ. The locale of choice may specialize in pupusas or empanadas. Hole-in-the-wall South American joint: I suspect Bourdain will give a shout out to DC’s immigrant population from South and Central America. Maybe he’ll grab some oysters with a foodie politician? Old Ebbitt Grill: A DC staple (although the crowd is equally at home in the above category).
For guaranteed on camera time, pop that collar. This restaurant segment will not appear in the everyman segment of the episode.
Paul’s, Clydes, The Daily Grill… take your pick. this is where DC staffers can pop in for a no-frills breakfast with old school prices. Jimmy T’s: A hole-in-the-wall breakfast diner tucked away on Capitol Hill. Still 50 years of booming business means they’re doing something right. Much like Jumbo Slice, I’ve only consumed Ben’s after a night of boozing. So where should you stake your claim if you want a little Bourdain facetime? We hazarded a few guesses:īen’s Chili Bowl: The granddaddy of the “down with the real folks” tour in DC. All reports indicate a similar agenda for the Beltway episode. He’ll usually kick off with visits to some trendy, high-end establishments (ahem, see above) then veer into everyman joints… taquerias in LA… noodle shops in Singapore. If you watch No Reservations, you know Bourdain is especially prone to covering the split personalities of his destinations. Maybe one of Katsuya Fukushima’s famous Minibar cotton candy foie gras is in his future? The pair spent some time talking to vendors and then slipped out of the heat into Cafe Atlantico. Maybe he’s in town to personally thank Endless Simmer for the E-ward shout out?Īccording to DCist and Apples and Bananas, Bourdain was spotted cruising the Penn Quarter Farmers Market with local heavy Jose Andres, No Reservations crew in tow. The latest bold name to grace our fair streets? Mr. Top Cheftestants Stephanie, Atononia and Lisa walked the red carpet at Spike’s Good Stuff party (the former two were spotted dining at Central that night, for those keeping track). The weekend of the 4th Thomas Keller dined at Restaurant Eve. Suddenly DC is awash with celebrity chefs.
