Sound Bites: Gibson, Zola Wine, Hard Rock Cafe
By Kelly DiNardokellydinardo.com
Several years ago, Ms. Metrocurean, another food writer friend of ours and I enjoyed an offal meal at Babbo in Manhattan. In the background, Led Zeppelin strummed on. Chef Mario Batali likes to rock. Suddenly I was tuning in to the more unique sounds restaurants were playing and eventually I wrote about it for USA Weekend.
Inspired by the musical menus being dished up, here is Sound Bites, an occasional post featuring tasty mini-playlists from restaurants around DC.
