We must be reading the paper head to head LOL

MIchael Landrum's comments on this site made it in today's Post --read it here

Speaking of reservations, I should make some too. My husband has been craving chef's butter chicken and is making a lot of noise about it.

Hungry Prof - do post about your dinner. Would love to read your comments. THe restaurant really does as great job with its regional curries. I have spend time in the kitchen with Chef Sudhir and he really is one of the best chefs in town.

Passage To India is the best Indian restaurant in the Washington DC area.

Stay tuned for your chance to verify in person,

Rocks.

Yep, I agree whole heartedly

Happy Birthday Hillvalley!! You really do an amazing job here. We are lucky to have you.

I agree -- thanks for posting this.

Also to my husband -- it is Valentine's Day dear. HINT HINT

I love Corduroy -- yum. Let me go back to the map and see.. thanks for the suggestion Paul.

Thanks so much -- this is very helpful

Hi folks!

I am meeting someone for lunch at 9th and N -- is there a place there, or close to there, that you would recommend that is good. Something reasonable ...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Very nice Don- what a fun read. Congrats

Right back at you, Don!  You and your website have helped me get through a tough time, and helped me look forward to better times in the new year!

I agree -- great work Don and thanks for everything

Hi all - just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and wonderful 2006.

Here's a nice article, written by Monica Bhide (!) on MSNBC.com regarding holiday "spirits" that highlights some of Master Thrasher's excellent libations.  Recipes included

Thanks for posting this - it was a really fun story to work on and the mixologists are all amazing!

I guess I am the only one posting here with my real name LOL

Welcome to our humble town Mongo and look forward to meeting you in person.

Sadness -- just saw the dates. I will be in sunny Arizona those dates. I guess I am not worthy (not ready) yet of meeting the great one.

Are they open for lunch? I cant seem to open the link to their website.

I have not seen it yet -- off to buy the issue now. Just want to send you my congrats as well. This is really wonderful.

COngratulations.

Happy THanksgiving everyone!! This place is wonderful and I am glad to be a part of it..!

Some friends and I had a lovely dinner at GB's tonite. The atmosphere was really nice and the food was quite good. I did not know exactly what to expect... I was expecting very heavy food. I was wrong -- we had some excellent crab cakes and a gentle smoked salmon salad. The cornbread -- someone must have sung to it -- it was superb.

A nice, fun place to visit and easy on the wallet too.. .. (we did not do appetizers/alcohol)

I am just not an apple pie kind of gal. I have been asked to bring one for thanksgiving.. where can I find a good one?? Help!

(DONT anyone ask me to make it... unless you are offering to come and make it for me )

Thanks folks.

Another great article Monica! My daughter has been involved with Lanette Doran and her "Flavors for Kids" program for more than two years. I'm just thrilled you got to talk with her and highlight such a terrific program. She has been a great inspiration and roll model for my 10-year old. Thanks for including her in the article!

Thanks Laura - I think that Lanette is doing some really wonderful work and I loved featuring her.

Thanks for you rkind words
