Spacebar, Falls Church, VA

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Don

I stopped by Spacebar last night and had a #11, House Tuna Salad ($8.50) with Provolone and Swiss on Rye, and it was good – they grill the tuna salad on the flattop before doing anything else, so it’s a variation on … Continue reading →

(See the June 21, 2011 Review here.) Confession time. A few years ago, I had called Pupatella the new king of pizza in the DC area, having wrested that (unofficial, but correct) award away from Comet Ping Pong, which had … Continue reading →

After a painful visit to the Apple Store, I stopped in for a light meal at Fuego. It was hot out, so I wanted something light and quenching, ordering a La Constancia Suprema, a 4.5% ABV American-styled lager from El … Continue reading →

Moby Dick, McLean

Posted on June 20, 2014 by Don

I’ve been going to the McLean Moby Dick for over twenty years, and it took until long after their expansions (there are now seventeen DC-area locations) for it to show any signs of wear, but for the past few years, … Continue reading →

MoMo’s Nepalese Food, Springfield

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Don

I had several things here the other evening, among them Lamb Choila ($7.99) which was one of the oddest plates of food I’ve had in awhile. It’s possible they’d forgotten this dish, and rushed to prepare it, but what I got was … Continue reading →

(See the June 10, 2011, Review here.) I stopped into Virtue Feed & Grain yesterday for the first time since the divorce with Eat Good Food Group, and was surprised to see how much the menu has contracted. I only … Continue reading →

Sweet Rice, Falls Church

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Don

Kudos to Sweet Rice for delivering last week right after we got pounded with 6-8 inches of snow. They not only delivered, they delivered ahead of schedule, and the food was hot and *good*. Wild Pork ($10.95) and Gang Gai ($10.95) were both as good … Continue reading →
