    Joe's Seafood and Prime Steaks is large enough. Woodward Table, also. Bobby Van's is right there also.

    Wow, what a crazy blast from the past.

    Every time I went there, there were more tuxedoes leaning against the wall than customers in the restaurant.

    Just as an aside, when I worked at the Watergate Hotel starting in 1984, the famous door that had been taped open by the "burglars", was just a random door in the parking garage with no plaque or identifying sign. It always seemed very strange to me.

    I remember watching as much of it as I could. Only the OJ trial eclipsed it at the time.

    Yikes, that sounds horrible. What kind of landlord does this stuff?

    I took a film class in college and we were told to watch Psycho several times. One thing that we immediately noticed was how long the shots were.

    For entertainment look at Popular Cruising on YouTube. The guy's voice is hysterical.

    Welsh Rarebit (sometimes pronounced Rabbit in the US) has always meant to me Cheddar cheese and beer. With the proliferation recently of so many craft and European beers available these day, I believe the third ingredient is butter. Add crunchy toasted bread and Voilá,

    Hi, How many are you cooking for?

    The chicken was very good, served in 2 services, it overpowered the Viognier we has chosen for it so we moved on to the Charlopin Gevrey Chambertin, which was a much better match. The breast meat required a steak knife because it was so firm. It was removed from the bladder at table, the leg course brought back from the kitchen at right moment. Dessert was a 1945 Pedro Ximenez that was out of this world. After dinner we walked to the bar at Le Crillon. This was during my rum and coke phase. I was offer a 1929 rhum J.M. for "only" 500€, I explained that since I wanted rum and coke, that was probably excessive.

    I've been of voting age for 48 years. I was a college student during the Vietnam War and remember the divisions in this country- hippies vs. hardhats. I've never seen a political landscape so completely divided with demagoguery on one side and smear campaigns for everything.

    Mine was Le Bristol in Paris under Chef Eric Frechon. I've been 4 times. The second time, the maître d' and sommelier remembered me despite 2 years having passed. I was floored. My last visit with a friend in Paris was a blow-out dinner. The appetizers (entrées in French) started at 80€, same as the mains. For a middle course we ordered the Poulet de Bresse en Vessie- Bresse chicken cooked in a pigs bladder- for 300€, mainly because I wanted to taste what a $400 chicken taste like. Impeccable service and beautiful room are part of the magic. The food was flawless. With wine it was very expensive but very satisfying. I'm sure I'll return at some point. The restaurant moves outdoors to the hotel's courtyard in the summer months.

    Ace Beverage, of course. In my experience, Suze in an acquired taste.

    Interesting. Manseng both Petit and Gros are fairly obscure even in France. It makes really delicious dessert wine. Extremely aromatic.

    I had a marvelous lunch there a few weeks ago. Steak Tartare was very good. I had the clam dish, fried belly clams and steamers with cornbread. I really like it, but had trouble finishing it. There service was outstanding and it was nice to see Jenn Knowles.

    The bread at Central from Panorama in Alexandria is called "Palladin Loaf". It was originally made by Mark Furstenberg at the original Marvelous Market, now it is made by Loic at Panorama.

    Beanie-Weenie is one of my favorite things to cook. I always add to the beans Vidalia onion, bacon and bratwurst or spicy sausage. Plus , of course, shredded sharp Cheddar.

    Cherry Heering goes really well with chocolate cake.
