They gave me cold food and coffee.
So gross, do they just defrost frozen food and serve you?
The place was packed, why do people like it ?
I was there visiting a friend.


Met a friend there last Friday for early breakfast and it was disgusting. So bad (pan egg scrambler) that I could not eat it. It was dry, flavorless and I crunched something that may have been shell.

The waitstaff asked if I wanted to take a to go box and told her it was inedible. Shortly later a manager came and apologized.


PP again. This was at Park Potomac.

Stop being dramatic and attention-seeking.

DH and I are both DOJ, and although concerned about many things, including whether or not we will still have jobs next week, we can go to a place like Founding Farmers for a meal without shaking with terror.

Because it is near my fried house.


I’d rather go to a fried house than Founding Farmers.



Better a fried house than that fried Jefferson donut thing.

There are lots of people here that don’t have a fed dependent job.

Not all of us on this forum are feds or contractors. I have been a SAHM for 30 years and my husband has worked in other fields than gov/contracting that span 4 different countries.

Yes. The majority of chain and even local restaurants do this now, probably since the . Very rarely is the food actually prepared and plated under the same roof. This has been more common in chain kitchens pre-covid and then boomed during and post covid.
