Here is a link to Fritz Hahn's recent piece on Happy Hours. "For Days You Skipped Lunch". The resturants and bars mentioned are linked, which is kinda nice.
Unbelievable that Whole Foods will package some of mealiest, white-hued watermelon into a quart container and try to charge you $7. It's peak production season and this region produces.
Are you joking? It makes me want to steal from the vitamin aisle.

"In September, Don Rockwell, at that time eGullet’s moderator for the D.C. and DelMarVa forum, wrote a sneak preview of the hotly anticipated CityZen. Rockwell mentioned, offhandedly, that he was a “cheap fuck” for not valet-parking his car."
How was it burned? You mean the bacon? The bread isn't usually toasted is it? I thought it was a pretty outstanding sandwich when I had it. To make a sandwich too much better at home wouldn't cost that much less...and you'd still have to buy the whole loaf of bread.
Hey, no more .
Me -
Sour Cream & Onion Pringles (1/3 Menos de Grasa que los Pringles Regulares) and Black Cherry Powerade Option from Rite Aid. Something is terribly wrong. I'm melting.
Tapas are also very good at Taberna del Alabardero. I was there a few nights ago again. The tapas still stand strong, although they aren't much better than Jaleo's and cost slightly more per plate (unless you get there for half price tapas between 3 and 5 p.m. weekdays, I think). The wine by the glass and the sangria were outstanding values (and not many over $10 a glass).
I don't recommend it. I found the food to be sloppy and overpriced. And the sangria (a signature drink) to be unlawful-- made with the worst wine and served from a pre-made vat that wasn't chilled enough. I think I went there to watch telvision, to be honest.
I'm very suspicious of possessed looking bears. Like that Children's Hospital, molesting bear logo and that Corduroy from the children's story. Can't trust bears.
Okay.
I didn't make to this event last night, but I'm a huge beef tartare fan (I was just graced with the beef tartare at City Zen -- my birthday gift).
But is this caption right?
Why does it look like overcooked sweetbreads or something?
My one experience there was terrible. Even the ceasar salad sucked. And not that this has anything to do with food, but the AC was broken and we were still encouraged by management to dine in. It was a big mistake- the bartender a was big fat grump because it was so damn hot. My view is tainted, but generally speaking, the place lacks any soul whatsoever.
