Forgive us Father, for we will sin— with food and drink specials courtesy of Pope Francis.
Growing up in beef-bountiful Texas, I ate hamburgers on a weekly basis. I stopped this habit once I reached high school, and now I hardly eat beef. But everyone needs a burger once in a while, so when the new Burger, Tap & Shake opened in Tenleytown, I decided to indulge in a sandwich.

Start off fancy this weekend with classical chamber music and feminist art. After that, take off those dresses and button downs and lose some inhibition at an audience interactive performance. A person can’t be put together all the time and can’t always be crazy. So why not be a little of both?
In this weekend’s guide, we wanted to provide a few brain-stimulating events. We know how stressed your brain probably is, but a little TEDx, math art and world music never hurt anyone. Anyway, you will make NPR and your high school Algebra teacher proud.

There are enough burger shops in this world, but there aren’t enough grilled cheese shops. For now, it looks like Melt Shop (located near the intersection of 19th Street and L Street, near the Farragut North Metro stop) is the only carb and dairy spot D.C. needs. And who doesn’t love grilled cheese? Four of The Eagle’s staff were more than enthused to collaborate on a grilled cheese tour at the downtown shop. Check out each of our mini-reviews below to see if Melt Shop is right for you.

When I heard that Captain Cookie & the Milkman had added a store to its food truck prodigy, I knew my foreseeable future included a ton of cookies, several cups of milk and a damaged body. Nothing entices me more than the thought of sinking my teeth into a soft, warm cookie and then washing it all down with a glass of cold, silky soy milk. In my mind, Captain Cookie would bring this thought to reality, fulfilling both my dreams and appetite.
I made my way to Georgetown to settle an internal conflict of mine: I wanted to know which local cupcake shop served the finest cupcake.

The Kennedy Political Union will host Missouri Rep. William Lacy Clay Jr. (D) for a discussion on the recent Ferguson, Missouri events on Feb. 10.
I had heard of the sit-down Cava Mezze before. A friend of mine always described it as a replica of the Cava Grill in Tenleytown, where a waiter or waitress would provide a menu that contained all of your favorite meats, spreads and toppings that you would expect from Cava Grill. But after I stepped into the establishment located in Arlington, Virginia, I came to realize that this was no Tenleytown and this was definitely no Cava Grill.
