  1. I went with a group of seven on opening night, and I agree that the food is as good as ever. The lamb tibs remains one of my favorite dishes in DC.
  2. Not the best scenario from a takeout perspective, given the difficulty of parking in Adams Morgan, but just happy that they're not gone for good!
  3. Thanks Joel. I came across another one of your posts recently (quoted at the bottom) that turned on a light bulb for me to help me understand the coffee science behind my taste preferences. And your post above illuminates the point even further. You're probably right that I used to think there was a "right" way to roast coffee and I'm now realizing personal taste plays a bigger role than I thought. Do you think the issue of personal taste makes it more difficult for serious but amateur drinkers to talk about coffee in a forum like this? As a coffee lover, I'd love to see more discussion about the flavor of different coffees and roasters.
  4. Got takeout at Zenebech on Friday and it was as delicious as when I first had it almost 10 years ago. It will be sorely missed! Will be following closely to see if/where they open up a new location.
  5. Grace Street Coffee website I just visited here for the first time to pick up a bag of beans to brew at home. To my taste, the beans were a little over-roasted (I prefer Counter Culture, for reference), but I'd say it was about on par with other local roasters in the area. I was inspired to try them after seeing Blue Bottle was planning to open up a shop nearby. Interested to see how they do in DC.
  6. I just a spent a night on a business trip in Richmond and wanted to leave two quick recommendations: the Quirk Hotel for an excellent and hip hotel stay, and The Lab by Alchemy for excellent coffee with a knowledgeable barista. They use a rotating variety of roasters; it was Philadelphia's Reanimator when I was there. I'm not recommending you go out of your way for Pearl Raw Bar. We had a nice dinner in their outdoor space, but the bites of everyone's fish I tried were variously too sweetly sauced or subobtimally cooked. And when we ordered two oyster samplers, the waitress left without identifying which varieties were which--a service mistake anywhere, but particularly regrettable at a raw bar.
  7. Hi, I'm Jeff, and I joined the forum when the guy in front of me got the last chicken at Pollo Rico and I had to wait 20 minutes for a fresh batch (still worth it). My special interests are coffee and beer (but I'm not a psychopath?) and as a new parent, I'm most interested to learn about good takeout in Arlington. Current rotation: Pollo Rico, Bangkok 54, Taqueria El Poblano, Delhi Club, Ravi Kabob, Peter Chang, and Pete's Apizza.
