First time I went to Europe (three-week backpack in 1989), I ate at the Nice, France McDonald’s two consecutive meals. ”Royale with Cheese” (- John Travolta in “Pulp Fiction”)

Kiyomi, Sushi by Uchi, currently at The Square
DonRocks replied to DPop's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
I think by today’s standards in DC, it’s one-star quality (food only). That said, your “slapping shit together as fast as he can” comment is funny and describes the general scene perfectly (although I’d substitute “sushi” for the word you used). You also touched on one of my three criticisms about the food itself: I had one piece of nigiri explode in my hand because of the rice. I also think the entire meal has a very narrow palate amplitude. Finally, I found the sequence of maguro, chu-toro, and o-toro (really?) to be in descending order of quality. But there’s too much good here (like the $100 price) to be focusing on the bad. I’ve had numerous You’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me one-star meals in DC, and this wasn’t one of them. Still, yours is a legitimate point-of-view shared by another friend of mine who tried it (I never went to Nakazawa, but I’d be crestfallen if I paid $190 for this). -

Went there tonight … Michelin-star-quality sushi in the middle of a food court! Complete with a bad musician in the background, and free parking in the garage (you have to use the K Street entrance after 5PM). $100 for this omakase is a steal. Listen to DPop - he’s right. -
We need another emoji: ‘Thanks, I think?’

Beer Selection at Giant and Safeway

Remember when I always used to write things like, “Remember this post 20 years from now?” We’re two years away … … and nobody - nobody - has ever called me out on the Rhinoceros misspelling. -

This is an important point (FWIW, every Pupatella post I’ve written in the past couple of years would have been from South Arlington).

Call me clueless, but I didn’t realize until just today that the “RAD” in “RAD Burger” stood for Ruthie’s All-Day (*). PS: The lyrics in “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” aren’t “I get high! I get high! I get hiiiiigh”; they’re “I can’t hide! I can’t hide! I can’t hiiiiide!” How’s that for the ultimate Mondegreen? So, now your day is ruined also. 😛 (*) They’ll substitute cheddar for American if you ask.

I had it last night, and it was the wettest, soggiest pizza I’ve ever had (from anywhere, if memory serves me). The panzarotti, however, are consistently good.
