i'd be up for the press club event. the q & a should be interesting...
or maybe not...
from Stratton Davis at the press club:
"There is extremely limited space available for this dinner. I am almost
sold out. We do not know if Anthony Bourdain or any of his staff will be
on hand to help out with cooking. He will be in attendance for the
reception, dinner and book signing. Executive Chef Jim Swenson will be
developing a menu with Mr. Bourdain to serve that evening. We will have
a wine specialist on hand to present and answer questions about the
wine. Non-members are more than welcome to come to the dinners. Please
call today if you are interested."

True, I did learn that at Darden....
However, a good strategy is to come into the market with lower prices, gain market share then let them creep up. This is what Kuna did on U St. Now they have me hooked as a regular.
well, i didn't attend darden, but i actually dislike this strategy. i always feel abused when a restaurant starts low and creeps up. it's a transparent marketing ploy, and it kind of makes me feel like they're trying to put one over on their customers.
and i concur - this place is wonderful. i'm mildly addicted, ordering takeout when time doesn't permit casual dining on the rooftop. and as mentioned above, the servers are wonderful, treating you as if you were a guest in their home. larry plans to offer cooking class this winter - sign their guestbook to get details.
i'm thinking an e-gullet outing may be in order...

i would head straight for the slanted door. i agree that the the ambiance is more depot like than the old location (after all, it is in the ferry building now), but i had the most fabulous meal last visit. and my brother ate there three times in two days and loved every bite (he's a former chef). and there's a great cheese shop in the ferry building, while your there.
some think it's touristy, but i also really like boulevard. sit at the counter and watch the show as the line cooksdo their thing. zuni cafe, however, i wasn't impressed with.
Postrio was tastey, if you like wolfgang puck, though the service was a bit too casual for the prices.
wish i was going...

Another question I have regards the editor of the DC section. She is a lawyer named Olga Boikess. I don't recall seeing her name anywhere in foodie circles but please correct me as I am a relative newbie here and may have missed postings.
she's the ethics czar at the NIH.

I have not heard from you by WEDNESDAY you will not be included on the final list. I need all payments by FRIDAY at the absolute latest, unless you have email med. Also, your Paypal email is confirmation that I got your email.
sorry - i'm new at this and a little confused. are we awaiting instructions on how to pay via paypal? i.e. will you be providing a link specific to this event?
thanks,
giuinha

The Worst Hamburger in DC DelMarVa
in D.C. & DelMarVa: Dining
Posted
i nominate hamburger mary's for one of the suckiest burgers in dc. overcooked, cold, cheese not even melted on the cheeseberger. the even managed to screw up a veggie burger my friend ordered. for a place with hamburger in the name, you'd think they could at least cook one to temp!
