[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was Gymkhana in London
 
It was good, don't get me wrong. 2 Michelin star good? Highly questionable.  I just don't see how it was leagues above Rasika in DC.  Service was fine except for the missed drink order.  Food was tasty. But it wasn't mind warping. The portion was massive for the tasting menu.  We had to take away the main course, because we were both gut bustingly full by the time it came out. I have a dirty secret - we had to literally throw the food away because there was no fridge in the hotel room,  nor anyway to heat it up even if we did want it eat it.  Imagine that - having to throw away a large portion of Michelin starred meal in the trash!

I honestly just have had better meals in Rockville and and Falls Church than most of the Michelin places we have gone to.  Michelin starred restaurants like Tim Ho Wang back when they had a star....it was good but whatever. I don't really remember it 8 years later.   We've tried various other Michelin starred places over the years.  I honestly just cannot even remember the courses or any of the foods that have ever stuck in my brain from any Michelin meal ever. Meanwhile, I can still taste the chicken and rice dish with the most amazing broth ever that I had in Thailand for $1.75 per plate.  If I am ever in death row, that $1.75 meal will be my.last request.

I dunno who ever crowned Michelin as the experts on food. [/quote]

lol.  I’ve been to Gymkhana numerous times - definitely an awesome restaurant.  It’s not very typical for a Michelin 2 Star, but not because of the quality of the food.  It was a very comfortable 1 Star and it is impressive they got another star (last year).

Rasika is fine, but is no where close.  And no, you didn’t find a better meal in Rockville or Falls Church. You lost all credibility.  You just think it makes you seem sophisticated to complain about the tourists and the portions and put down a 2 star restaurant as beneath your elevated tastes.[/quote]

You sound like an idiot with too much money to spend.  Prob the same type who blows cash on a Porsche yet knows f**k all about driving. I bet Michelin starred chefs could splooge in your soup and you'd be convinced they're serving you gourmet crap because of the price you paid. [/quote]
