Wait. I lose all credibility based on ONE review? A place I went to three times, during which I ate much of the menu? How many meals have you eaten at CB? (And why, during a cross-country trip, did you eat at all the chain restaurants?) |
I would also recommend any Jose Andres restaurant after he has shown what a hero and organizer he is! Even if he served grilled cheese all day I would support that guy and tell everyone else to! A billion years ago when I was 22 and worked at 12th&Penn, Jaleo was the FANCY amazing restaurant. Sangria with tiny apple bits in it and this stuff called Tapas? I felt like I had Made It in DC after not even knowing what an avocado was in my hometown. It is still an amazing first love and exposure to something BEYOND for this girl. |
Please start a new thread called "Describe Your Meal" or something. We can gather up a varied assortment of DCUM-worthy descriptions of food. Seriously, the way some of you describe the basic bitches at the school and how messy your playroom is or how ugly Ivanka's dress is, I'm sure we can come up with new, innovative ways to describe EVERY type of food. Tom can pluck from it like a hungry raven plucks at a corpse's eye. |
You ignored my comment about how Amsterdam falafel sucks. You have no idea what good falafel should taste like. Try Falafel Inc or Fava Pot in the burns for the Egyptian version. |
Hey, falafel fan, you do know I get hundreds of submission to my chat and I'm reading most of them in real time and adding links to stories and .... I can't address EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. (i was warned not to weigh in here, and I can see why.) |
He’s not that good with Middle Eastern food. Seems like he is expanding his horizons though. |
Take one look at the political forum and you'll understand why. |
Not Tom here but check out Felafel Street in Vienna. The falafel was very good. Kind of like Cava or a Chipotle. |
Jaleo, le diplomate, roses luxury, arroz, and rasika. All on repeat. |
Whomever warned you was correct. Right now I’m having flashbacks to the West Wing episode where Josh Lyman was warned by Donna not to address his chat room fans because they were crazy. But he did it anyway and the fans turned on him. |
Uh You must not read me carefully or recently. I haven't mentioned RL in a long time. And the others probably fit a reader question best. I try to mix in new names as often as possible. Hundreds )yes hundreds_ of people send me feedback every week. They tend to be thrilled about Rasika, among other suggestions. Just saying. Plus, I keep tabs on places myself; if a place slips, I have no qualms about saying so. There are no sacred cows in my book. |
I hope my question about more women chefs just got lost in the shuffle. Please review their restaurants and feature them... |
I love it when I can shine a light on the work of other than white males. See: my reviews of Centrolina, Smoked & Stacked, Himitsu, etc. Who behind a review-sorthy place (new or otherwise newsworthy) am I missing? |
Maybe we should move this discussion to Explicit. Everyone has to log in other there. |
