    Excellent time to be in NOLA for Tales.

    Am I misreading (or is it a typo) that they put mayo on the sandwich?

    I haven't been to Big Buns since I worked in Ballston, and that was long enough ago that my lunch was Big Buns or Pupatella TRUCK. Big Buns only won when the truck wasn't there. It's only about 10 minutes drive from where I work now (7 Corners), so I'll give it a shot some day. My money is still on Mi Cuba.

    8/4 is too soon. I agree with avoiding Labor Day weekend. 10/20 is fine with me, but I think any later than that and we risk non-picnic weather. I think we should either coalesce around that date, or book now for something in the Spring.

    I think October 13th is perfect.

    I will chime in that the July date is too soon, we have traditionally done Sunday to allow our industry peeps to attend, and from a weather perspective, IMO September would be preferable to August.

    It was on Monday. Note that while doors officially open at 5:30p, they have been opening doors at 5p.

    Yesterday, the US Women's Soccer team scored 13 goals against Thailand in their opening match at the World Cup. In the last four World Cup tournaments, the US Men's team has scored a COMBINED total of 12 goals.

    How did that happen? Here's the AP story: https://www.apnews.com/4a426c72c23d483b95b45776cfbd01cd

    FYI - click through from the Eater story to the AP wire story - the damning details are there.

    Click Seems to me like they had a number of chances to make this right, including settling, and going to court is a mistake. Even if they win, the publicity is going to suck.

    Seventeen years in business hardly seems like a failed concept.

    In Rockville, we've been going to Urban Hot Pot and Hot Pot Legend. Riverside fell behind them in quality, IMO.

    Washingtonian reporting that Landrum is closing RTS.

    DC Spurs normally watches matches at the Irish Channel. Knowing how packed it will be tomorrow, the MoCo annex will be at Caddies in Bethesda. If anyone wants to join us to watch the final tomorrow, drop me a line or just show up!

    We landed up at Bastille, and it was perfect. She was able to order a nice salad with grilled salmon, and the only substitution she needed was to remove the croutons.
  18. DanielK
    I'm sure you're just trolling me at this point, since there's absolutely nothing on that menu that she can order.

    The Tavern is just the kind of restaurant that should work - until you carefully read the menu. Meats are almost all marinated. Side veggies are sauteed in onions, garlic, shallots, etc. Even salads have ingredients she has to ask not to be included. We could probably make it work, but it's *work*. Mexican is almost uniformly out, again because of marinated meats and onions in everything. I threw Rustico and Bastille by her, and will see what she says.
  20. DanielK
    They marinate all of their meats, too.
  21. DanielK
    I don't think so, because rubs/sauces are likely to have garlic, and the sides are all out.

    Taking a cousin to lunch tomorrow. She has a mid-afternoon flight out of DCA, so need something in Arlington/Alexandria/etc. - maybe within 10-15 minute drive from the airport? She has some odd medical dietary restrictions that are similar to a low-FODMAP diet. So she can have plain grilled/seasoned proteins and vegetables, but nothing marinated, no garlic/onions, no starches. For that reason, she has to avoid a lot of "ethnic" foods. She eats at a lot of steak/burger places when she eats out, or orders a salad; last night we had Greek at Kellari Taverna, and that was perfect. I'd love to take her to Jaleo, but I don't think she can navigate that menu. I know there's a Ted's Montana, Good Stuff, Legal, and McCormick & Schmick's right there, but was hoping for something more interesting. Any good ideas?

    Too bad invites to the soft opening won't include airplane tickets...
  24. DanielK
    Geez, add another 3 years to the clock on when you can get a table. 🤣

    Unless the Spurs do something Spursy and give away their 9 goal differential on Sunday. Given that we didn't have a stadium for more than half the season, barely had Kane for half the season, and didn't touch the last 2 transfer windows, I'm pretty satisfied with CL next season and CL semis this season. As banged up as we are, and without Kane, I don't see us getting through Ajax tomorrow, though I'll be over the moon if we do.
