  1. I ate at the (only) McDonald's in Beijing when I studied in China in 1993. At the time (this may still be true; I'm not sure) it was the biggest McDonald's in the world. It had just opened the year before. I don't remember much about the food, but I do remember it was packed with mostly Chinese people (not many foreigners in China in 1993, even in Beijing). I didn't go for the food (I rarely ate at McDonald's at home and wasn't missing American food too much at that point) but more for the kitsch factor. I only went that one time. I think that was the only McDonald's in China at the time, but I remember seeing LOTS of KFCs throughout the country (don't think I ever ate at one). They also had Pizza Hut. As for eating fast food on vacation, our first stop after the airport on West Coast trips is In-N-Out if we can swing it.
  2. I was in BA in 2010, so I don't have much useful info at this point other than to highly recommend a trip to Iguazu Falls, which I thought was one of the most beautiful and impressive places I've ever been. You could probably do it in a (long) day, but it's about an hour flight. We stayed one night there and visited the Argentine side one day and the Brazilian side the other day. At the time U.S. citizens needed a visa to visit Brazil (not sure if that's changed), and we thought it was worth the hassle of getting the visa to see the Brazilian side as well as the Argentine side. We also needed a yellow fever vaccine for Brazil.

  4. There's one in Bethesda now. A friend says it's great, better than Frank Pepe's, but I don't necessarily trust him. Has anyone been?
  5. Yeah, I mistyped. I Googled recipes and saw that you steep them in the cream. I guess what I should have typed was, "Fascinating! I never knew that peach leaves have flavor."
  6. Fascinating! I never knew that eating peach leaves was a thing.

  8. I'm so happy for them and really hope they succeed in this location. Pacci's is the only restaurant within (sort of) walking distance from our house in Forest Glen. We haven't eaten there since before COVID (for no particular reason). I'm inspired to return!
