The Changing Face of Restaurants in DC

[Vandyhoo]

The Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU will be discussing the changing face of restaurants in DC -- today at noon.

I hope some of our local egullet experts will call in with their opinions.

You can prolly submit questions online too. If they're good questions, you'll beat all the fools on the phone; they often print out e-mail and read aloud on these shows...

It's kinda boring so far.. I submitted a q, but am tuning out..

[morela]

Yeah, snakehead fish might be more interesting...

Honestly, look at them pushing those books on the website...

Kinda gross.

Well.....IS there a changing face of restaurants in DC?

Edited for Point of Order: The website says nothing about DC-specific face-changery as the topic of discussion.

Well, according to the folks on the show, the growth of ethnic restaurants in the DC area represents the changing face of restaurants here; at least that's what I got from half-listening. What headline news! Come on, IMO, that's been the strength of DC-area restaurants for at least 10-15 years. Leaving the DC area for awhile made me miss the abundance of Vietnamese, Korean, and Salvadorean in the area. Philly still has nothing like it. But is this a new thing? I think not. Guess it depends on what "new" is...

Longer than that even.

I didn't bother tuning in. Who were the guests?

Did Tom skip his chat yesterday? It's not archived and the persnickety stupid Post website isn't letting the weekly schedule load.

He did his chat yesterday. And, I just tried the Post website -- I had no problem getting the schedule up. Maybe you just ran into one of its recurring glitches.
