Au Pied de Couchon in Georgetown (that was more like the 90s). So fun to go there in the middle of the night!

I miss Cashion's.


Red Sage...

I was randomly thinking of their mushroom-goat cheese enchiladas the other day.

Hibiscus Cafe! Loved it. They also had Fish Wings and Tings. I think the same people opened a restaurant in Brixton UK.


Yes, that’s it! Loved it. Great food and funky vibe.

I would add Palena and Pesce to the list. Also Komi, although that might have been a little later than 2000.


Palena and Komi as fresh college grads? Y’all must have funds
