[Passover 2002–2005]

Chametz avoidance is easy. I could probably go for months without Chametz.

It's always the Kityanot that get me.

Edit: Also, am I the only one who will eat Treyf but not Chametz and Kityanot during passover?

[Passover 2002–2005]

What should I do with my leftover boxes of Matzo.

I bet even the homeless wouldn't want them.

[Passover 2002–2005]

So who else is having a tradational last night of passover Pizza?

[Cholent]

When I was at Brandeis I lived with a guy in a group house who always made the best Cholent every shabbos for all of us (he was observant, I was not). He would put Kishke in there, along with onion soup powder, plus the usual meat, beans, barley, etc.

I have to ask him what else there was.

Chag Semach everyone, and L'Shana Haba B'Yerushalim.

[The chain restaurant topic]

That said, we have a couple of locally owned chain-esque restaurant groups here in the DC area that I am happy to eat at -- the Great American Restaurants group and the Clyde's group. What are the opinions on places like that?

And of course Five Guys -- DC's answer to In-N-Out.

[Ginger Reef / Ginger Cove]

I've had a few lunches in the upstairs restaurant, and I've always enjoyed myself. The seafood fritters appetizer and the lamb roti (?) are both excelllent.

Haven't tried downstairs yet though.

[eGullet Outing at Full Kee, Chinatown]

Long time lurker, first time poster.

If you go to Full Kee, do get the dumpling soup, and one of the Casseroles, preferably the Oyster Casserole.

Also, it can't really accomodate large groups, but if you haven't had them yet and get a chance, go two doors down to Li Ho Foods and get the Singapore Noodles.

PS. Can lurkers come too? ;)
