V: Agora Celebrates with Us
This week has been a blast celebrating five years of good food. You have heard the story of how I got started, why I began cooking in the first place and now I close out this Friday giveaway with where I plan to take things. Thinking about another five years seems like an eternity away but in actuality it really is right around the corner. These five years passed like a breeze and it feels like only yesterday that I attended my first food event. Going forward, my major plan is to keep providing up to date food news, keep readers abreast of the ever-changing DC food scene and I want to get back in the kitchen with a vengeance.
Another goal for the next five years is to travel MORE for further food discoveries, which is probably why I adore Agora in Dupont. Agora is one of those cozy, discreet places in the District that is brimming with dishes full of personality. The Mediterranean restaurant has been able to hold me over until I can book a trip to Greece or Turkey, which stand at the top of my to-do list. Besides having a captive menu for those looking for Mediterranean flavor, the restaurants weekend brunch is one of the areas best bets. For $29.95, guests can enjoy a plethora of Greek and Turkish classics alongside unlimited cocktails. Yet another reason I have probably delayed my travels…I’m getting the flavors of the Mediterranean right in my neighborhood for under $30.
For today’s giveaway, tell us where you want to travel for food? Domestic or International, share your dream food destination and you are automatically entered to win a $50 gift certificate to enjoy the flavors of Agora. You have to be subscribed to the JKGF weekly newsletter to enter (I’ll make this part easy for you, sign up here!).

Good luck and it has been a pleasure to share my food stories with you…soo looking forward to another five years!
