Tallula, Clarendon

“What are you the mood for?” “Vegetables and fish.” Tallula it was, on a deserted Sunday night, and I didn’t recognize a soul at the restaurant. Yet, every single course, with one small exception, was a hit. My dining companion … Continue reading

SundeVich, Convention Center

I had lunch at SundeVich on Wednesday, and the sandwiches were wonderful – off the top of my head, the only pure sandwich shop I can think of that I might prefer is the Ballston Earl’s Sandwiches. Of course, Stachowski Market and Deli is … Continue reading

Chi Mc – Bon Chon Chicken’s Replacement in Annandale (And Just As Good)

The Annandale Bon Chon location is now called Chi Mc, and is almost *exactly* the same as Bon Chon was, with slightly better service and (I think) a few more options to choose from. Matt “took me”  me there for Father’s … Continue reading

Azur, Penn Quarter

Boy, I’ll tell you what – I think I might have had some of the best raw bar in DC yesterday at Azur, or if not, then perhaps at least the best uncooked meal. Happy hour is from 5-7 PM, … Continue reading

Masala Art, Tenleytown

I wish to recommend Masala Art’s $9.50 Indian Lunch Buffet. I’m generally not a fan of lunch buffets, Indian food sometimes being an exception due to its long-cooked nature, but even Indian buffets often contain cheap, poorly made dishes; not … Continue reading

New Orleans Cajun Seafood, Seven Corners, VA

I was heading down Route 50 from Arlington Landromat picking up my $1/pound Wash-and-Fold, and thinking I’d find some Pho. Instead, I turned right into what I believe is Willston Center (please PM me if I’m wrong), thinking I’d find something Latino … Continue reading

Le Diplomate, 14UP

Is this really the only thread we have for Le Diplomate? (Well, it’s still relevant – they are trying to hire (get this) a total of FORTY servers.) As I approached Le Diplomate from the south, two things struck me: 1) It … Continue reading

Woodward Table, McPherson Square, Downtown

Luckily for me, Woodward Table is right across H Street from Nantucket, so I could walk right on over with my new X-treme do (I look like a combination of Ivan Drago and a pencil eraser). It’s happy hour from 4-7, with draft … Continue reading

Gharer Khabar, Arlington, VA

It has been a long time since I’ve been in a full-service restaurant as inexpensive as Gharer Khabar. I phoned in an order (biryani, paratha, raita), and when I went to pick it up, the gentleman told me it was … Continue reading

TakEatEasy, Downtown

It’s ironic that because TakEatEasy *isn’t* in a gas station, it might have more trouble surviving than when its owners were at Fast Gourmet – the “cool” factor is gone, and it’s now going toe-to-toe with the likes of Malaysia … Continue reading
