Pie Sisters Coming to Georgetown

By Prince Of Petworth

Pie Sisters will be located at 3421 M St, NW by the entrance to the Key Bridge. Their Web site simply says coming soon but directs us to OBSweet which says:

“O’B.Sweet was created by us three sisters, Alli, Erin and Cat Blakely from Northern Virginia. Homemade pies are and have always been a staple in our family tradition. We grew up canning peaches and putting up fresh fruit pies. Baking was always something that brought everyone together.We learned from our mother at early ages the art of baking pies, using recipes old and new from family and friends. We also learned that anytime was pie time, morning, noon or night!

After living in different cities and pursuing separate careers, a bit of soul searching brought us all back to doing what we love most, baking. Each of us lends our own distinctive talent and touch making our product truly unique. We pride ourselves on our presentation and delicious pies.”

It’ll be fun to compare them to Dangerously Delicious Pies at 1339 H St, NE.

House of the Day

By Prince Of Petworth

This Asian style house from Georgetown is one my favorites. I’ve seen about 4-5 times then I forget where it is and stumble upon it a few months later and am blown away every time.

And the light made the front door sculptures look even cooler than they usually do:

Judging Restaurants – Filomena

By Prince Of Petworth

Filomena is located at 1063 Wisconsin Ave, NW. Their Web site says:

“JoAnna transported some of her mother’s furniture to the restaurant and set up a dining room (our Filomena Kitchen) that looked similar to Mother Filomena’s dining rooms over the years, dominated by the large heavy oak table, carved matching chairs and a large intricate sculpted Murano glass grape chandelier.

JoAnna also brought tons of her Mother’s antiques and knick-knacks to give the restaurant her Mother’s style. The music chosen for the restaurant was the type of Italian street songs Antimo liked to play on the Concertina in his youth or listened to because they reminded him of his boyhood home in Abruzzi, Italy.

Filomena, whose family also originated from the Abruzzi region of Italy, was a great cook. She had grown up learning very traditional Italian cooking, but found that sometimes it was very difficult to find many of the traditional ingredients. Being very creative, Filomena adapted many of her recipes to use what was available to her. Many of the original items that JoAnna chose to put on her menu were inspired by Mother Filomena’s simple, yet creative cuisine, as well as those wonderful old world traditional recipes—some that were prepared for the daily meal, for Sunday dinner, or when company called, or for specific holidays.”

You can see their menus here. For the fans – any must order items?
