    Dunno where you are in the suburbs but the strawberries have been STUNNING at the Courthouse metro market on saturday mornings.

    I wish we could go, but with family in town and preparing to sell our houses and move I don't think it can happen

    yah, but Tom Bulleit will be there, and the dude is a legend within the bourbon community- even worse, Bulleit Bourbon is now owned by Seagram.

    bourbon tonight to meet the bulleit distiller.

    The only positive about this is that I'd love to have that overpriced phone book already programmed into my GPS I could care less about the ratings, but as a phone book it's great!

    I've been drinking a bunch of tawny port lately- generally the older the better. Those rich chocolate plum notes are amazing.

    OK, I think we get it- offering a comp'd dessert isn't the same as offering a menu from which to choose and they shouldn't have done that, but come on, nearly 2 pages of what I'd consider to be a pretty miniscule complaint in the grand scheme of things? Hopefully they've learned their lesson and won't do it again, but I'd hardly call this a mark of continual poor service...now if this had been in a Bebbo thread I wouldn't have been surprised...

    Rumor is that Mr. Bullet of Bulleit Bourbon is going to be at Bourbon in Adams Morgan on 5/30 around 9 or so pm...be there or be square.

    Do you have a budget in mind? I'm from San Diego originally and can direct you to whatever you have a taste for. PM me if I miss your repost.

    on a whim im drinking my way out from the cubs blowing a 4 run lead in the 9th to the mets.

    Could be, couldn't be. Who knows how much they are paying for it...(jake might, but google just isn't an effective tool for this). In any event, if it's driving your customer base away you should probably stop it, but it sounds like such a minor thing in the grand scheme of a new place.

    it might be the least expensive but it might be a large source of profit based on markup...that said I don't think it would really bother me if a waiter tried to push prosecco. Not my favorite sparkling in the world, but I'll drink it.

    I ate lunch at Central yesterday after jury duty. I used all my money DC gave me, but that didn't get me through the meal. Or to my first drink Anyways- The food was excellent as it consistently has been, but just a note on it- I ate at the bar and the bar appeared to be in disarray from when I sat at 1:30 or so until 2:45 when I left- service was certainly slowing down and no one was paying attention to the clenliness of the bar area. Stools were in every which direction, I noticed 3-4 napkins from previous diners on the floor, bottles were kind of all over the place on the bar. It just seemed like everyone was heavily focused on bussing the restaurant side and no one was paying any attention to the bar. This didn't make it a bad experience, but it was just something worth noting to me at least.

    Well we ate there last night and I've got to say, I went in with pretty low expectations just based on the new menu, but I was pleasantly surprised- I think we ordered just right though. Started with the goat cheese wellington (ours wasn't soggy as the previous posters was) but rather tangy and rich, a cute take on this dish. Oysters rockafeller- a good traditional dish, tastes good, simple Meatballs- not quite Dino's saltimbocca, but still very good and again simple Devil Eggs- great, again simple classic preparation Crabcake- didn't get to taste it but looked mighty good Little stuffed tomatoes- tasty, excruciatingly hot strawberry shortcake- looked good, but my girlfriend pretty much kept this one to herself

    I'd also call over to arrowwine- they tend to have among the best prices that I've found.

    I'd look at two sparkling wines if I wanted something with a hint of sweetness- prosecco (sure, it's not champagne, it's from Italy, but it's good and very reasonably priced) and I'd also look at blanc de blancs (sparkling chardonay grapes). Neither of these are pink, but both can be made that way with an addition of casis. Otherwise, for a pink sparkling you want a sparkling rose.

    Do you remember which episode? They threw a bunch of odd ones in for each episode. (Going back to ordering a log on the internet).
  23. jpschust
    Are you there with Bill?
  24. jpschust

  25. jpschust
    I think that's fair and I think we're in agreement
