How about the Villa Gourmet Deli? It's not exactly in a strip mall, but that place, next to good ol' Trader Joe's, a Jenny Craig, The (ghettismo) Honey Baked Ham, some golf store, a rundown Iranian book store, a liquor store, maybe even a day care... It has all the characteristics of Rockville Pike, in fact it's even on 355 ( aka Wisconsin Ave. in Bethesda)... It's one of the saddest shopping centers I've ever seen and across the street, fur coat shops, to mark the official border of Chevy Chase (20815). Anyway, I did this thing where I went to the gym (worked up a big hunger) and got carry out from Moby Dick's (next to Stromboli's) and then got the extras at the Villa Gourmet Deli. The place is cheap!! Dolma is some of the best I've had...and they do have beer and wine, in case you get thirsty. Does anyone know this place? Good takeout, I swear, and it's more than dolma. I miss Scmaldi's, though, or whatever it was called over by pathetic G.C. Murphy, now 2 Amy's vacant cement back yard.

Cakewench, your avatar looks a little like ventworms! I love this thread too. 'Sucks' has been reiterated in my vocabualry. There are many levels of suckiness. If it sucks, sucks, sucks it best not cost a lot!! Sucks my wallet. SUCKS

Hi Mr. Kliman! Thanks again for letting me be smug. I'll just stick to singing servers and drunkenness if it's brunch on P Street. Embarrassment of Riches

So, you're saying if we smoke a lot of pot, we'll eat a lot of donuts... and save the pinch-hitting business of the bakery? Where do you get your Homer Simpson logic?

As much as cherry blossoms seem nice, I like more the anti-social runner/fisher types... My vacation starts soon! Taking some spring break with MCPS this year!

Dude, if you're running, you're out of the car, right?

I talked to a person who appeared to be the owner and some painters a couple of weeks ago at the lunch hour. It's supposed to be a tapas place (International, not just Italian)... The said they hope to open sometime in mid April (couple of weeks, I guess...)

You mean those hand-decorated elephants with the long eyelashes might be under $2? Oye Dios Mio. Hey - - Does anyone to go on a boozey picnic with me in the park this afternoon? It seems like a nice day. Maybe that park over by National Airport...

Or we could just go to Nam-Viet Pho-79 at 11:30 when they open, have pho, drop a twenty, get back $12 and change after tip...and then go buy the donuts.

I thought Normandie Farms was a really OLD crowd, though(?) Not so anymore? Really, people in past have steered away due to cob web effects...

Bruno is their friend. http://www.kraftfoods.fr/kraft/page?siteid...Ref=414&Mid=414

Oh...Hibiscus Cafe--that was the one under the bridge in Georgetown, right? I loved that place--went there for a fabulous 22nd birthday. When/why did they close? filed for Chapter 11

what's the gym?

Taught at HU, you say? Syllabus Spring Semester 2004 Socio-Gastronomics 101 Aunt Jemima vs. NW Doughboy In my opinion, another great column this week... Week of April 2: "Black and White and Red All Over"

All I'll say is Scott Scheggs. Find Scott Scheggs.

Actually I was wrong about the source. Even worse. It's Apes News, not Men's Health... Bye Bye!

I think Men's Health might be same publishers as Cosmo and Maxim... There's no mention of that in this oh so viable MSNBC story. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4363829/ Pizza has no carbs either.

Don't think they take resis... But in Dupont, check out Johnny's Half Shell or Pesce for goodness without pretension

You can do that (normally) by searching via Entertainment Page, but currently that portion of website is unavailable. The Bush Administration is partially responsible for this. Actually it works again...

"Scotch egg A hard-cooked egg that is coated with sausage, dipped into beaten egg, rolled in bread crumbs and deep-fried. Scotch eggs are halved or quartered lengthwise and may be served hot or cold, usually as an appetizer." Thanks, my friend. I could use one of these guys; sounds scrumptious!

Tell me more about Scotch eggs. Never heard of those. Can I eat them at night time?

Pho ever a fan. This week it's: "Pho Nominal"

So now I can have an amazing dinner at Nectar and stay there all night without worrying about stupid cornflakes... Can I bring backgammon? Hear Baller

There's a 320 post prerequisite for this culinary intelligence. I'm bo'ed gimme my stove.
