Charlie Trotters Foie Gras ice cream is delicious and unforgettable.

Thanks for the offer! However, we are just going out one night without the little guys and Ive decided, with the help of you DCers, to dine at Maestro. If anyone wants to join us please let me know so I can make the appropriate reservation. Also, if you have any further ideas of lunch and dinner ideas that you can bring 2 well behaved children to, please let me know - Im very interested... I cant wait to see D.C. again...I havent been there since I was 12 or something. I loved it!

For the most part, I agree with him...

If you get a babysitter for our 2 kids!

I dont thinl he said or implied that. LEYE is definately a HUGE force in Chicago - the food might not be on the high end except tru, Ambria and Everest but it is none the less a well oiled machine that packs them in...

its going to be this Friday at Charlie Trotters. I havent been out in so long and havent enjoyed anything in so long that i'm going nuts come Friday.

Ugh, now you steer me toward Citronelle when now I think Maestro...! I am thinking Maestro from the research Ive read about it and I think it matches the style that I prefer in upscale cuisine...altho the lab at galileo would have been pretty cool! Sorry, the ratings wasnt Gourmet, but the Epicurious standings...sorry...anyway... http://eat.epicurious.com/gourmet/restaurant_reviews/ PS...you're right anyway...it is Gourmet and Chez Panisse is on top..this is old!

Ive rec'd some pms recommending Maestro as a closer comparison to CT's cuisine...altho Gourmets 100 Best U.S. restaurants doesnt include Maestro but rather Citronelle , the Inn and Obelisk. Im torn between Citronelle and Maestro, Steve, where should I go? I want elegant, formal, high end cuisine with professional service...also if they have seared foie gras the better!

Its amazing isnt it?

Better not be Devil's Food Cake... Could be Angels Food Cake...

Unless you were taking pictures of that hot dog between your breasts that is indeed strange they were adamant of no photography... Where else have you eaten or taken food pics?

You need a better way to finish the song like the low "barbecue sauce" from the Chili's jingle... Just my opinion. The song is not complete yet in my book...

thx steve, citronelle it is... how is obelisk?

No dice. Damn. Get you get me in Steve?

keep taking pictures!

Im leaning toward Citronelle...

How hard is it to get into the Lab?

so how far is this place from the the city? also, how expensive is this place (dinner) really? thanks...

What is the highest rated restaurant in D.C.? Zagat or otherwise...? We are staying in the city - but havent gotten the Hotel figured out yet. And yes it will be Allison, myself and our 2 kids - altho the kids wont be joining us for our one night out alone...

Im boring... Williams Sonoma and sur la table. But I do them love them both!

We are also travelling to DC in June and would like a recommendation for a very nice dinner - something like a Charlie Trotters - the only restaurant Ive been recommended to is Galilieo...can anyone offer other insights.. Also, any eG DCers that want to meet up for lunch or Dinner...let me know! Your suggestions will influence our Dinner so thank you in advance!

Frontera Grill Veracruz Spicy Nut Mix...sweet and spicy peanut, pepitas and toasted corn...even has toasted fava and toasted garbanzo beans!

General Tso's Chicken and a Heineken

If you havent seen this commercial its well worth a look if you are a Matrix or Heineken fan...Its a perfect tie in (for the the exact shade of green )...It made me go out and buy a 6 pack! http://www.heineken.com/usa/ or for less time-consuming download... http://www.ifilm.com/?sctn=main&pg=movieclips&cch=10 BTW, for people that have seen the film, is Heineken placed in the movie at all?

We never got "Hostess" anything...just Little Debbie...
