Flippin’ Out for Filipino Fare D.C.’s hottest ethnic food trend has diners lining up to dig in.

By Amy Alipio

(FACING PAGE) ©FARRAH SKEIKY; (THIS PAGE) ©COSTA DINO PHOTOGRAPHY

THE WORD SPREAD QUICKLY through the foodie grapevine: Bad Saint—a snug 24-seat restaurant in D.C.’s Columbia Heights neighborhood—was very, very good. But it didn’t take reservations. The line outside started forming at 4:30 p.m., an hour before the place opened for dinner. That still didn’t guarantee getting a seat. Then Bon Appetit named Bad Saint the #2 Best New Restaurant in the U.S. for 2016. Now, getting in requires an epic wait and the kind of logistical planning worthy of Navy SEAL Team Six. So what are the dishes sending Bad Saint fans to foodie heaven? Try sinigang stew, pancit noodles, chicken adobo and ukoy fritters—mouth-waterers you might not have heard of, unless you’re a Filipino.

Follow that savory aroma of fried garlic, and it’ll lead you to other D.C.-area restaurants making their mark with Filipino fare. Think Purple Patch, in Mount Pleasant; Bistro 7107, in Arlington; and Timpla, a popup supper club. Filipino dishes also appear on not-exclusively-Filipino menus at such places as TenPenh Tysons and Cathal Armstrong’s forthcoming Kaliwa in Southwest.

“It’s such an exciting time for the Filipino food scene in D.C., mainly because people are so much more supportive and willing to taste our food,” says Rita Cacas, who organized a Philippine food symposium at the country’s embassy last fall.

“We grew up with only a handful of cafeteria-style ‘turo-turo’ shops, and even fewer full-service Filipino restaurants,” says Katrina Villavicencio, a co-founder of Timpla supper club. One of these early pioneers was the now-closed, white-linen Manila Restaurant, located in Georgetown, where former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos sang at a 1991 private dinner hosted in her honor. “Previous generations paved the way. New generations are willing to take bigger risks,” says Villavicencio.

Started by four Filipino-American millennials who met at a family party, Timpla dinners take place in locations throughout D.C. The intimate gatherings of about 10 to 15 people feature a five-course menu of Filipino dishes updated with contemporary techniques. At one recent dinner, Timpla chefs transformed balut—the infamous street food consisting of a nearly fully developed duck embryo boiled and served in its shell—into the more palatable-sounding “potato espuma cooked in duck stock and topped with crispy duck skin.”

“Our dinners reveal what D.C. is like, because they take place in houses throughout the city and are hosted by locals,” says Villavicencio. “You’ll get a peek into the underground dining scene and be in the company of residents of all different backgrounds, occupations and interests.”

Purple Patch is less underground than Timpla and accommodates more diners than Bad Saint. Co-owner Patrice Cleary grew up in Massachusetts learning how to cook Filipino dishes from her mother.

When Cleary opened her restaurant in 2015, her mom’s home cooking served as inspiration. Customer favorites include Mama Alice’s lumpia (fried spring rolls) and sisig (marinated pork belly and shoulder served on a sizzling platter with bird’s eye chili, onion and a raw egg).

“Our food represents history and culture that has been shared through generations. What we are able to do now is showcase more of our cuisine, which maybe we were more apprehensive about when we first started,” Cleary says.

Realtor Manny Tagle also wanted to feature traditional Filipino fare in an upscale way when he opened Crystal City’s Bistro 7107—named after the number of islands that make up the Philippines—in 2013.

Serving Philippine flavors “with a twist,” the bistro features dishes such as crispy pata (pork leg), kare kare (oxtail in a peanut sauce) and pancit (a rice noodle dish).

How do D.C.’s Filipino restaurants compare with those in other U.S. cities? “It’s about on par with New York and the West Coast,” says James Beard Award-winning food writer Todd Kliman, “although Bad Saint may be the best of the bunch.”

Whether Filipino food is a flash in the pan or a lasting addition to the city’s restaurant landscape remains to be seen.

But Purple Patch’s Cleary has no doubt: “We are definitely here to stay.”

Across the river from D.C., Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, enchants with a heady mix of history and modern-day indulgences.

By Jennifer Barger

22

WHE RE I A P R I L 2017

WITH A COBBLESTONE lane or two, redbrick sidewalks and colonial-era buildings (including the circa 1767 Christ Church, home parish of George Washington and Robert E. Lee), Old Town Alexandria remains one of the greatest hits and pit stops for fans of early-American history.

After all, handsome, well-dressed George danced here (at Gadsby’s Tavern, still open as a museum/restaurant hybrid), Robert E. Lee’s Revolutionary War-hero dad Harry “Light Horse” Lee made his home here, and early Scottish merchants helped make Alexandria one of the busiest colonial ports in the late 18th century.

That tricorn-hatted quaintness, so familiar to me after living in Washington, D.C., for more than two decades, still resonates in the walkable, historic burg just nine miles from the U.S. Capitol. But on my recent evenings and afternoons

there, I’ve been getting a feel for Old Town’s other charms: buildings from the turbulent, hoop-skirted Civil War period (Alexandria is the inspiration for PBS’s Union hospital drama “Mercy Street”), restaurants dishing up modern Southern fare and one of the best indie boutique scenes on the East Coast.

“It’s so easy to stroll around the main parts of Old Town, and there’s such a cool patchwork of history and modern businesses,” says Ashley Valanzola, who last year founded the walking tour company Discover Alexandria. Her most popular trek? A “Mercy Street”-themed jaunt taking in sites like the Carlyle House (where the real-life Green family lived, currently a historic house and museum) and the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (where the Union hospital that’s the center of the drama would’ve picked

Dozens of indie boutiques entice with vintage and new clothing, housewares and a smattering of antiques. up potions). Though “Mercy” was filmed in Richmond, fans (myself included) can geek out on the old-school pharmacy’s slightly creepy collection of hand-blown glass medicine bottles (what is Cretprec anyhow?) and weathered mortars and pestles. Handsome TV surgeon Dr. Jed Foster (actor Josh Radnor) isn’t anywhere in sight, but I tell myself he might drop in momentarily with some smelling salts.

Other guided trips, including a running tour, take in the Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery, as well as Market Square, both touchstones in the long and complicated history of African-Americans in Alexandria from slavery onward. “They’re such powerful locations, and people react so strongly,” says Valanzola.

Propelled perhaps by all this history and Virginia’s location on the edge of the South, the restaurant scene veers between down-home comfort and uptown foodie. That’s perhaps no more apparent or plate-cleaning tasty than at the new Hen Quarter, where, on a recent Saturday, two girlfriends and I tucked into fried chicken and cheese-flecked biscuits in a two-level space decorated with a bourbon-bottle chandelier and weathered wood. “This doesn’t look like what I think of as ‘Ye Olde Town,’” remarked one pal, as she downed the last of an herbaceous mint julep.

Nearby, second-floor speakeasy PX Lounge beckons for me to once again climb the rickety stairs to the dark, vintage wood bar for retro cocktails with inspired local ingredients (tobacco, local honeycomb). I’ve also slurped many a briny oyster while taking in the dazzling views of the Potomac River at the cavernous, fish-centric Blackwall Hitch.

The just-opened Megg Rolls feels more “new Virginia” than old, too, with its beachy vibe and walls covered in retro album covers (think The Cars, Zeppelin).

Still, owner and Alexandria native Meghan Baroody knows her comfort chow. Her cafe serves up eggrolls stuffed with down-home fillings like mac and cheese and chicken parmesan. “I’d been working in restaurants and bars in the area for years, and I love Old Town’s relaxed vibe,” says Baroody, who, when she’s not wokking and rolling her savory treats, hangs out nearby at old-school watering hole Chadwicks. “It’s the kind of place where you can stroll in wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap to watch the game,” she says.

Me, I’m often dressed more fashion blogger than sports fan when I’m hitting these short, row house-lined blocks, since my favorite Old Town pursuit is shopping.

Dozens of indie boutiques (more than most ‘hoods across the river in D.C.) entice with vintage and new clothing, housewares and a smattering of antiques.

King Street, the main drag since colonial times, buzzes with personal favorites like The Hour, where I’ve scored colorful vintage cocktail shakers and bar napkins, and Red Barn Mercantile, where owner Amy Rutherford oversees a den of cozy sofas, decor books and intoxicatingly scented candles. “We keep trying to refine the mix, which is something I think Old Town itself is doing,” says Rutherford.

Dropping in on a couple of my topchoice clothing shops reinforces Rutherford’s claim: the brands and stock here rival that of D.C., and heck, N.Y.C. At new, haute-end The Hive, I try on a floral Rag & Bone dress that’s one part rocker, two parts lady and paw through feathered earrings from Lizzie Fortunato. Nearby, at Bishop Boutique, I can’t resist buying a pair of velvet floral pumps by Kate Middleton fave L.K. Bennett. They’re retro yet oh-so cool—just the thing I could wear to one of those fabulous balls George W. went to back in the day.

vanilla ice cream.

Trio Restaurant It’s been serving spiked milkshakes for as long as I can remember.

My favorite is the chocolate shake with Frangelico, because it brings out the nuttiness in this hazelnut distillate.

–Tim Ebner, food and travel writer, @timebner

Satellite Room I can’t resist the "Linus Van Pelt" (peanut butter with whiskey). I'm a peanut butter addict and a huge fan of the "Peanuts" Van Pelt family.

–Philippa Hughes, chief creative contrarian, The Pink Line Project, @pinklineproject

Ari’s Diner This new place is the perfect gathering spot to share a decadent shake,

uffy panca es and a classic diner burger.

–Lani Furbank, food and travel writer, @lanifurbank

Ted’s Bulletin Who can resist that mint chocolate cookie taste from childhood— paired with some adult fun—in the “Grasshopper”?

–Kate Michael, former Miss D.C.; editor at large, K Street Magazine; @theauthentikate
