New Kid On The Beltway: Trendy Is As Trendy Does
If we are going to be chatting like this, I find it imperative that I let you in on a little secret of mine. It’s not something that I’m proud of. It happened so fast; it’s truly been a whirlwind. I ask that you not judge me for it. You …

Feasting Famously with Chef Geoff
Feasting Famously with Chef Geoff Tracy
Geoff Tracy, aka Chef Geoff, is the man behind the wildly popular Chef Geoff’s DC restaurants, of which there are four, and his one non-name sake, Lia’s. The restaurants are known for their inviting, non-pretentious atmosphere; the cuisine freshly American; and the happy hours bring college students and K Street lobbyists alike together over affordable “supermugs,” burgers, and pizzas.
However that is “Chef Geoff” the restaurants, but what of Chef Geoff the owner?
Weekend Picks: Post-Election
Now that the election is over, we can all get back to the fun stuff – where to throw down this weekend. I’ve been on hiatus but am stoked that an exciting weekend awaits us here in DC. Let’s go!
Election Night Round Up
Now that we’re finally past the election hangover here at FamousDC, we can hardly believe it’s all said and done. And it was only just last week that it all went down. Every four years DC goes all out and parties the night away while states turn red and blue. …
2012 Election Parties
It’s here! Only once every four years does DC take a moment to enjoy the months of hard campaigning, client hand-holding, deadline crushing nights that turned the city and country into a turmoil. Election night is full of ups and downs, shocking swings and, if you’re watching CNN, holographic maps. But, one thing is for certain, there will be enough drinking by both sides of the aisle. So with your vote cast, the only question left is where will you be tomorrow night?
FamousDC can be spotted at Campaigns & Elections at Kelly’s Irish Times and Cloture Club’s party at George tomorrow, both of which we are sponsoring.

Feasting Famously with Tucker Carlson
Feasting Famously with Tucker Carlson
A man truly living in his own Never, Never Land of food
Some might know Tucker Carlson as the conservative knight in pastel bow-tie armor who battled the fire-breathing Ragin’ Cajun’ himself, James Carville, when they co-hosted CNN’s Crossfire. Others know him for his political commentary on networks such as MSNBC, and still ongoing, Fox News. However most recently, people will likely think of his wildly successful online journalism effort in launching The Daily Caller, a political news website reported to easily average over one million visitors every month.
I know Tucker as a down-to-earth guy who loves Phish, The Grateful Dead, and liberal use of profanity.But what of Tucker Carlson and food? Surely he must subsist on more than a diet of Ayn Rand and coffee? Right? I sat down with the man himself to find out.
Fantasy Rant: Week 8
My downward spiral into fantasy football hell is officially at the point of no recovery. We’re no longer landing this thing, we’re managing a crash. I just thank the lord that I had enough sense not to talk a lot of trash when I was 4-0. Restraint is the better part of valor… or something like that.
Set, Hut!
