    If memory serves, the tater tots are a *$3* add-on at the Dupont Circle location.

    Anything worth purchasing this year other than La Casita? Anyone been to the Chiko or Hank's stands?

    Coquette would always be my first choice -- shorts & sandals probably ok, but call to be sure. Turkey & the Wolf is another excellent (and very different) option.

    The Sicilian meatballs (which are scrumptious) are a combination of beef and pork.

    Tom just won Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic! So, so well-deserved.

    Perfect? I dunno -- only 20 spectacular dishes out of 23 or so.

    Bad Saint hardly needs more kudos (the 28 or so seats are constantly filled), but a meal there this week confirmed that it's truly one of our gems. Genevieve Villamora is the perfect host/proprietor and Tom Cunanan's cooking is as soulful and delicious as just about anything in town. (An eggplant/squash/tofu dish was spectacular.) He's very worthy of representing D.C. as a James Beard finalist in Chicago next week.

    Not saying it's not good for the masterminds themselves (but cf. Mike Isabella)--but it rarely benefits the restaurants that were great in the first instance. That is to say, we the consumers tend to lose out.

    A very nice comeback story. I haven't been to K&K because I try to avoid the Wharf. I can attest, however, that the cheesesteak place in Union Market is really great. What worries me: He dreams of running “a bajillion restaurants.” Never a good idea.

    I was just at Cellar Door on Saturday morning--and I agree. (Don't miss the great bread, even if "only" as part of a tartine.) Mi Tocaya Antojeria was wonderful, too.

    Will you be on your own? If a party of one or two definitely sit at the bar. Anchovies. A well-done Norcia is a good idea -- as is the sausage/artichoke special pizza, if it's still on tomorrow night. The fava bean crostini, if it's still on menu tomorrow. The pio tosini legato prosciutto. There will be porchetta--get it if there are two or more of you. These three items tonight all sound good--but might not be on the list tomorrow: Sicilian style cara cara orange and anchovy salad/braised artichoke with minty green sauce and lightly aged pipe dreams goat cheese/gently pickled cucumbers with local honey comb and sheep ricotta. A combination of vanilla and blackberry chocolate chip ice cream.

    They were amazingly delicious last night. (Was that you at the bar at 8:00, Tweaked?) As were the "tortilla española with a few cute little chorizos," the artichoke braised with carrots, lemon, fennel, and pine nuts, and, as always, the pork cutlet panino.

    Closer than what? Mine last week was on the rare side of M-R--which was just right.

    Did anyone here realize that i Ricci even continued to exist? (No reviews here in a dozen years.) Apparently it's one of the very best places in D.C., just as it was in the 20th Century.

    The "shrimp toast" and the green bean dish are addictive.
