Bland (except for overly salty falafel), non-authentic and really just underwhelming. Mediocre ambiance and service.[/quote]

OMG yes. My husband is always recommending it to visitors because he can walk there for lunch. I always glare at him and mouth “stop. Just stop.” It’s only good if you are visiting from Ohio and think it’s exotic. [/quote]

Omg. The Cleveland food scene blows DC's out of the water. [/quote]

I agree! I don’t even bothering going out here any more. [/quote]
My hometown of Milwaukee blows the DC restaurant scene out of the water too. I dream about dishes and restaurants there. We don’t even go out here anymore either. Overpriced, bland, and disappointing. And why no restaurateur in this area can’t put together a decent sandwich or bake an edible loaf of bread has always baffled me. Plus, no good diners, Italian, Mexican, delis, bakeries, funky coffee shops and bars that serve great food. Ahh, I am homesick.[/quote]

Milwaukee?  Cleveland?  Why don’t we throw in Pittsburgh also since people rave about the food scene there too.  I travel to all three frequently and there is nothing in any of them that would cause me to rave about any of them.  [/quote]
Seems like you haven’t ventured out much when visiting those places. I can give you multiple recommendations in Milwaukee that blow most DC restaurants out of the water. There is great food outside of DC. In fact, that’s where most of it is.  :lol: [/quote]

The one thing DC does better than almost anywhere else is fast-casual-lunch-restaurants.  Shake Shack, Z Pizza, Cava -- not fine dining, but a much larger and more diverse selection of lunch options for the working stiff than in most US cities.

Not surprising.  And yes, most of these originate elsewhere.  And yes, fastcaslunch &lt;&gt; &quot;food scene.&quot; But credit where credit is due.[/quote]
Yet, no one can make a decent sandwich.[/quote]

You don't like Taylor Gourmet?[/quote]

I haven't been to Taylor Gourmet in years.  The rolls were too hard, and the last time I went I got something with a truly terrible taste combination. I think it was maybe cantelope, cranberry, turkey, and arrugula?  [/quote]
