Leon Redbone
I always loved his style. If you're not familiar with him (he died yesterday), and you like jazz with an often comic twist, check him out.

I enjoyed the food, but it was a 10 on the obnoxious scale.

What a welcome story in this world of obscene income inequality. It's not just a gift to those students, it's a gift to our country. This is what a patriot looks like-- not some gun-toting, my-country-right-or-wrong, bible-thumping, close-minded, flag-waving, Lee-Greenwood-listening, American-exceptionalist, nationalist jackass.

Another poor rich white guy being oppressed by the godless liberal establishment.

There's no law. Geez.
I have passed this info along to some corporate folks who will contact that meat team about it.

That said, I think it's so awesome that he took the Nats fans' boos, and shoved them right up their asses.
At $45,000 per plate appearance, I think he can tolerate some hostility.

Losing money and making it up on volume is not a good long-term scenario.

Dry hot pot is a separate menu. I am going to go out on a limb, but the issue was probably a language barrier one.
Nope. The woman who took my order spoke English very well.

I dined here Saturday night with my daughter. Ordering was a confusing process. I asked about the dry hot pot, because of the raves above and was told the closest thing was lamb with cumin and got a warning about how spicy it was. I had something in the past from Joe's Noodle House with the same description and enjoyed the heat, so I ordered it. There was a lot of cumin, but no other heat. It tasted fine, maybe a little fatty, but I was disappointed by the lack of spiciness. I also ordered the spinach in chicken soup and they tried to talk me out of it because of the "black egg". After telling them I was familiar with century eggs, and insisting I wanted it, they allowed me to order it. This dish was enjoyable with the spinach just cooked enough in a rich yolk-colored broth. My daughter's lo mein was good enough that my daughter ate the vegetables in it.
I feel like I experienced some culinary discrimination (I'm not Asian), but the meal was enjoyable and the price was right. I was intrigued by a lot of items on the menu and would like to go back, but next time I'll go with a larger group so we can order more dishes.

Oh, and an update on the consequences. Ex-wife didn't call me, so I texted her this morning asking how my daughter slept last night. Yup, she got about 5 hours of sleep.

That's diabolical. My daughter would have jumped at that drink. It may not be much comfort, but at least this post has kept one child away from these drinks!
It IS diabolical! That label screams "kid's drink!"
I sent a complaint to Starbucks and got a reply saying that they'd address this with the store. WTF? What is the store going to do about it? This is a labeling issue.

At around 9 pm, I'm expecting an angry call from my ex-wife asking why our daughter can't get to sleep.
You have some idea where I'm going with this.
My 9 year-old and I dropped by Starbucks for a refreshing beverage after a salty 5 Guys burger. Looking through the cooler, she spots a Starbucks Strawberry Lemonade Refresher. Being the diligent father I am, I read the can looking for any possible caffeine. Nope, product looks clean, right?
It's a sparkling juice blend. Or maybe it's lemonade! Could be a flavored juice blend drink, I suppose. Anyway, it's made with coconut water and real fruit juice!
I turn the can to make doubly sure!
Ok, now it's a sparkling strawberry lemonade. I'm confused, but still no caffeine.
I triple check! Look at that whopping 25% fruit juice. That's good, right?
"Ok sweetie, drink up!"
I get home and just as I'm about to throw it in the recycling bin...
WTF Starbucks?
