WLDC Post Roundup: May 2012

Bloggin' over here, bloggin' over there, I've been bloggin' everywhere. Alright, lame rhyme aside, here's the roundup of all the things I've been writing over at We Love DC.

Want to get to know chefs around DC? Here's the latest Capital Chefs columns:

• Ris Lacoste of Ris - Part 1 and Part 2

Need some restaurant recommendations? Here are a few of the places I've been checking out in the last few months:

• Poste Moderne Brasserie
• Evening Star Cafe

Old News You Might Still Be Catching Up On:

• Can't cook? These classes may have passed but check back at these places throughout the city for cooking classes.
• Food truck legislation still goes unresolved.
