  1. James Beard puts his seal of approval on that one.
  2. I've believe the BIG chef club has even been known to go on bicycle rides together. Can anyone confirm this?
  3. Actually, I bet a lot of people have their own pretend or observed V-Day, which means maybe it won't be as bad as you think. Like when everyone thinks the traffic will be really bad so they pick some alternative route, but then it turns out that a lot of people are picking the alternative route as well... Bistro du Coin is for non-lovers, but it may be for lovers if they open a Clarendon store.
  4. Nooshi/Spices? City Lights of China?
  5. These kids just don't get it. When I was little they fed me Shakey's Pizza or popped McCain Ellio's in the oven (if ever). I was just barely aware that school lunch pizza wasn't very good.
  6. The bread puddin' and the tiramisu are even better!
  7. Authentic. Doesn't that usually mean there's a picture of an old person or a fat lady wearing an apron on the box?
  8. You could do pizza at Sette, which is at the corner of Conn. Ave. and R Street in Dupont...

    tacos

    To me it sounds like the place has gone catering-style (if they haven't always been). I think Sutton Place (or current establishment) sells their packaged sorbets... Nonetheless, the sorbet I ate was nice and rich, without being being too icy and I liked it very much. It was almost gooey, but not in a ghetto emulsifier way.

    tacos

    Yum! Don't miss the $3.95 fish tacos (Beer battered fried mahi mahi w/ Mexican slaw & crema pico de gallo on soft corn tortilla) at Taqueria el Poblano in DelRay (Right next to the busty and brillaint cheese place!). The most delicious thing I've had in the $4-20 range in quite sometime. And for dessert, even though it might not be on the menu all the time, ask for the chocolate sorbet (made by Simplicity) with the tequila and lime zest. Sounds gross, but it's like eating a box of truffles half-naked on the playa or something without getting fat or thirsty. Not bad. (edited for tequila spelling)
  11. Bet Ted has something to do with that. Maybe it's for when he comes to visit...
  12. What...it was cold that night, and I was tired. ← Archibald's: Last stop on the Bi-Polar Express.
  13. That was at McCormick and Schmick's in another city, and the lady put it in there herself. She put an unpackaged condom in clam chowder and tried to get rich...
  14. Oh yes, I meant Archibalds. How could I mangle that? The Archbishop patrons would get free cashews and hot chocolate, and of course, a complimentary Bible.
  15. That certainly does reflect one popular vision of manhood, gustatory or otherwise! ← Reminds me a lot of that place Archbishop's or whatever it's called over on K Street...
  16. This is my least favorite part because it makes my salivary glands water in the bad way... If the drink's any good, shouldn't Sambuca just be a secret ingredient like Krusty's Non Narkotik Kough Syrup is in a Flaming Moe? Ick.
  17. You boys and your chemistry sets... So, what's in the Rockwell Mocktail? Do you still have blue cocktails? P. Diddy's Lemony Lick? George W's Wagon-Wrecker?
  18. Thanks for the report stretch. I'm really hungry for psychotropic substances, particularly those that go well with fish.
  19. The bad people usually get cashews instead of hot chocolate.
  20. Sometimes Michael even wears a black Grand Marnier polo shirt in the dinning room, under his apron. Cry wolf about that everyone... All that product placement a Ray's; the Remy-Martin people are livid. I mean, even though Ray's doesn't have liquor for sale, let's get really up in arms about his favoritism of that cognac. God, Ray. I'm telling Tom.
  21. What about too much comping? After factoring that tip, you'll always spend more money if you're a conscious human being. If you're a "food writer" too. And what do you do then when your beginning to feel like a fattie, you vowed not to be out long or eat too that much that night...and POW WOW. Mo' food, mo' booze. You're eatin' my friend, and you're tipping 49%... In my case, though, not so much to worry about. The hot chocolate at Ray's is a nice touch. Why not for everyone? Maybe he ran out.
  22. Well, I ain't that poster child...
