Zengo Chipotle Lobster Grits
Congratulations to all the winners! Now I chose today to wrap things up because the weeklong celebration is not quite over…I have one more awesome gift to share with you guys. Now that we are in December, the new countdown to five more years begins and I want to pick your brains on what you want to see in the future on Johnna Knows Good Food. What better way to present this idea than with Zengo, the Chinatown fusion restaurant that is constantly reinventing itself. Recently the restaurant launched a bottomless brunch menu packed full of breakfast classics with a twist. The Salmon Benedict, Chipotle Lobster Cheddar grits and the Juava Mimosas are among my faves on the menu. In addition to the brunch, I spend alot of time scouring the lunch and happy hour menus which offer daily specials.
I appreciate how Zengo constantly stays afloat with the changing restaurant trends but stays true to its original premise. This is what I am aiming to do with Johnna Knows Good Food in the next five years. The page needs a facelift and I want to get some consistency in what types of posts I provide week to week similar to the way Etiquette Tuesday has been on the site weekly. Today I officially end the celebration (*tear) with a giveaway where the winner will receive a $75 gift card to Zengo. Tell me what you would like to see more on Johnna Knows Good Food and you are automatically entered to win. You have to be subscribed to the JKGF weekly newsletter to enter (I’ll make this part easy for you, sign up here!). The winner will be selected at midnight tonight. Thanks again and keep reading, there’s plenty more to come.

Yay! So exciting. Thanks Johnna!
Thank you! I’d love to hear more about unusual, off-menu or overlooked dishes at different restaurants.
Hi Johnna! I’d love to hear more about restaurants in DC that strive to be sustainable. Thanks!
I am more likely to go out to lunch so am interested in lunch specials as well as brunch and happy hour specials. Thrifty Thursdays, maybe?
I’m on a budget so I would love to hear about deals around DC and your advice on must splurge items.
I’d like to see some recipets and ideas of how to create things at home.
Would love if you could get chefs to share some of their recipes so we could try to recreate them at home. Maybe a monthly feature!
Thank you for all the suggestions!! I cannot wait for the New Year.
