President Obama followed his meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday by treating him to lunch at Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, Va., the pool reports... DEVELOPING...

Mentioned to our server the other night that we'd loved our last meal at Ray's the Steaks, East River. Apparently some of the popular items on the RTS-ER menu will soon be available on the Classics' bar menu, notably the chili half-smokes, and the smoked fried chicken. Here, here!

I'm surprised (nay, amazed) somebody hadn't already posted on this, as Hell-Burger Too has been up and running for at least a week. Three of us stumbled upon it last Friday. We didn't try the game nor turkey burger, but our "classic" Hell-burgers were as good as ever, and the new veggie option was a much-welcomed hit. Also new is a (slightly) smaller 1/3 lbs. burger option. Table service is another nice change of pace.

Tom Sietsema has the scoop, though he buries the lede under news of Tourondel's plans for the "Carmine's style" Casa Nonna (yawn). As a big fan of the Manhattan branch of BLT Burger (menu), I'm looking forward to another competitor in DC's burgeoning burger-war. -Owen

I know I'm not alone in saying this: the ice cream at 2 Amys is - bar none - the best I've ever had. I'd kill for a scoop of their stracciatella right now. But one flavor I haven't seen in a while is their mint chocolate chip. If you haven't tried it, trust me: it will change the way you look at ice-cream forever. Has anyone seen it on the menu recently? -Owen

Eater (via Metrocurian) posted today that "Good Stuff Eatery" (god-awful name) is the brain-child of a Top Chef, Season 4 alumnus. I haven't been following this season closely. Is this guy anything to get excited about? Cheers, Owen

DCist today noted, "Corduroy has reopened in its new Shaw location on 9th Street NW." [Free Ride] Corduroy's answering machine still says they'll be opening in "early April." Is there any news, or did DCist simply jump the gun? -Owen

I'm almost positive I've had a pork skin banh mi at the aforementioned Song Que (Eden Center). If memory serves me right, it was an acquired taste I'd yet to acquire.

A couple friends and I checked this place over on Friday night. Short review: cool atmosphere, good value but we left unimpressed by the food. The three of us did the "All You Can Eat The Meat" special for $15.99, as I'd read this Yelp thread that indicated it might be an "everybody or nobody" policy on the All You Can Eat BBQ. We never figured out if that was actually the case as our waitress was very attentive, but spoke no English - and best err on the side of caution. The BBQ special included 2 types of beef (thin sliced, and tips) + some extremely fatty pork. The beef was ok but didn't wow anybody at the table. The pork on the other hand just seemed to render down to some crispy fat & a sliver of meat. It all was decent enough when dipped into one of the sauces (a sriracha-type sauce, a sweeter fish-based sauce and the third seemed to be sesame oil with a heap of salt) but overall, the meats all seemed to lack seasoning. The kimchi was great though - more fermented than some of the other Annandale spots. There was a decent variety of panchan (the usual standards) but a couple less than some of the other places I've tried in the neighborhood. The staff were attentive and friendly, but despite the bargain price, I don't think I'll be returning. Cheers, Owen

They were right on the SE corner yesterday and seemed to be getting good traffic. I tried the bulgogi, and - while I wasn't blown away - it made for a nice change of pace. The free sample of chicken teriyaki seemed like a decent rendition of the standard, food-court variety. The kimchi was better than I expected, as I like a bit of crunch in mine. Only complaint: I think they'd be wise cut back the portion size and price by 20%. I had trouble finishing mine, and $6.75 (while cheap for the amount of food) is a touch steep for a "street meat". Cheers, Owen
