Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Purple Patch - Mt Pleasant, DC

Purple Patch - Mt Pleasant, DC

Purple Patch brings together homemade Filipino recipes with American tastes and food trends. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles.

Rating: 5 star plates 🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️

The use of ube or purple yam in the waffle itself and the accompanying toppings which included ube ice cream works perfectly, and features throughout the menu. This was one of DC’s first Filipino restaurants and ahs remained popular for brunch and other times of the day.
