    I walked by there about an hour ago and the line was wrapped around the corner on to 19th street. Never seen it that bad before.

    It is quite a view. I used to work at 101 Constitution and a bunch of us would go up there to eat lunch.

    I think their pizzas are hit or miss and I would much rather hit up 2 Amy's for that. I have found Sette's salads and pastas to be pretty good. One funny thing is that if you order wine by the glass, you will notice that the glasses have a visible "pour to" line on them.

    Grilled some hanger steaks(with Bilrus' dry rub) and chicken breasts tonight. The steaks turned out great, but I'm sure an overnight sit in the fridge with the dry rub would only have enhanced the flavor. Also on the grill was red and orange peppers, portobellos & zucchinis. To drink: Domaine de Pouy and a 1999 Domaine Saint Benoit Chateauneuf du Pape La Truffiere

    I was wondering what are peoples favorite spots to buy fresh fish and seafood?

    Is that paprika rub store bought or did you make it yourself? I am grilling some hanger steaks tonight and was thinking of doing a dry rub for them.

    I called yesterday about this and the hostess said that they will know what the schedule is on Monday.

    Heading up to B-more on Sat and am going to dinner at Pazo. Anyone been recently and can recommend some good tapas?

    I agree the crab was quite tasty and the risotto was a little bland.

    I think so, but Lobster and McDonalds are two words that don't belong in the same sentance

    Had a nice softshell over corn risotto at CF Folks for lunch today. Not a bad deal for $11.50.

    That reminds me of a couple of years ago when BK & McDonalds were offering Lobster Rolls in Maine

    Have you seen the PV Rose anywhere locally?

    Tosca was very nice last year for RW. Wouldn't it be great if there was a week for wine discounts instead of food?

    Anyone tried the Domaine Lucien Albrecht Cremant D'Alsace, a sparkler, which is one of Calvert Woodley's wines of the week. Looks interesting to me.

    Yes, the dought was in the open cooler at Wegman's much like it is a Trader Joe's. It was kept in the fridge at home too. Couple of possible contributing factors I forgot to mention before-- 1) The dough was partially frozen at Wegmans and 2) It was about a 40 minute drive back to Bethesda from the Wegmans near Dulles.

    Chef, Interesting issue regarding pizza dough...... Posted this on the general forum but thought I would ask you too. Thanks.

    I believe the grape in question is Trebbiano (also known as Ugni Blanc). I read somewhere that it is Italy's most commonly planted white grape

    I bought some pizza dough at Wegmans yesterday to make tonight. To my dismay, when I got home from work the dough had expanded to three times its original size(so much so that it couldn't be used). I have bought dough many times at Vace before and this has never happend. Anyone had this happen to them or know what caused this?

    Was the chicken back on the menu yet?

    Wanted to share a great salad recipe that is really simple, yet delicious. We peeled and seeded 2 cucumbers and chopped them roughly, then half of a vidalia onion chopped, a cup of grape tomatoes halved, a half cup of kalamata olives and a half cup of chopped radishes. Topped it all with a half cup of crumbled feta and a dash of oil based italian salad dressing. It was all the best parts of a Greek salad. I never think of making a salad wihtout lettuce, but I will from now on. It went great with the lemon garlic rotisserie chicken from Wegman's and some steamed veggies.

    Anyone ever been to the Bethesda Farmers Market. It is on Tuesday afternoons. My girlfriend was thinking of swinging by there next week since school will be over. It is worth going to?
