It has been a long time since he was active here, but @Mark Sommelier contributed quite a bit in the early days of eGullet, especially to the DC conversations.  This does not even begin to get into his contributions to the DC dining scene itself.  I never knew or met him, but appreciated his presence here.

I met him once, after he had left Citronelle. Very nice guy. 

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus. -Elizabeth Bangs, writer
