    Last night: Chicken and Andouille Etouffee

    Years ago I use to date a girl who lived at the Cameron Station complex and Dancing Peppers was on our list of old standbys for a cheap night out...nothing fancy but does the trick.

    I never really read Washingtonian, but I picked up the Cheap Eats edition and thought it was pretty solid. I like that he not only spotlighted what we all consider traditional cheap eats, taco trucks, ethnic store fronts etc., but also mentioned high end restaurants with cheap eats, such as Galileo Grill and the lunch deal at Restaurant Eve. I also liked the little neighborhood spotlights, like Little Ethiopia and Little Mexico.

    I think more attention should be paid to the area's agriculture production. From the Blue ridge, to the Virginia wine country, to the eastern Shore to the Cheasapeake Bay, we seem to be in a pretty diverse area of the country and more articles should be written about the area's farmers/artisan producers etc.

    well that sucks...one of my favorite restaurants The only silver lining is I work 3 blocks from Johnny's Half Shell...still sucky news for the Hill.

    He should find a small store front and open the Galileo Grill as a stand alone sandwich spot, pork butt sandwiches every day!

    A wide selection of sausage, thick cut bacon, various hams, smoked hocks, slabs of backfat, trotters, ribs, chops, etc. and I noticed this weekend that they were selling little buckets of sausage casings. The large butcher counter has all sorts of meat (pig, sheep, baby cow, adult cow, assorted little furry animals), a lot of lamb going on right now including kidneys, and sells cooked hot dogs, half smokes, kielbasa (starting at a $1). The lady with the buckets of greens hasn't made an appearance yet. And KeithA if you want to make a day of it, you should also think about stopping in at Montemartre for brunch/lunch.

    My one and only Hooters experience was down in North Myrtle Beach because I HAD to watch the DC United game I was missing while visiting the folks...and Hooters was the only bar nearby that had ESPN2...My waitress said in a lovely southern twang, "I've worked here since this place opened and you are the first person to sit down and watch a soccer game." I suspect I was also the last.

    Although at times hit or miss...The wings at the Capitol Lounge when they are "on" are the closest to your Upstate NY variety that I have found in DC. Lots of sauce, plenty of blue cheese for dipping, piles of stained napkins afterwards, a night spent trying to dislodge that strand of wing stuck between your teeth, and your tummy will remind you about the previous nights gluttony in the morning. when they are "off", they are dried, shriveled and sauceless. Of course this may have all changed now that they have a new "executive chef." He recently butchered taco night by making it sloppy joe night and they were pretty shitty sloppy joes. And it should always be Frank's

    A plate of three for $3.95...they were actually pretty nasty. The kicker is, they have a new "executive chef" at the lounge and he felt it was beneath him to run the 25 cent taco deal they have had at the Lounge on Wednesday nights for years. Personally the only reason I go to the Lounge of Wednesday nights is for the 25 cent tacos!

    I have found the morphing of the trite mini-burger...the trite mini-sloppy joe. And where can you find this temple of triteness? The Capitol Lounge, half price all night on Wednesdays.

    Shout out to Brett Anderson, formerly of the City Paper, now the Times Picayune, for Newspaper Writing Restaurants/Chefs

    A diamond in the rough...or just rough? Deli City Restuarnt is the sort of Washington -- institution? -- we lament that the city doesn't have. Where the locals are local, the grime is grimey, the grease is greasy, and ever after the tables have been wiped clean they are still a little sticky. The napkins are paper. The cutlery plastic. The fine china paper. Sit on down peruse the faded menu...try the NY Style Pastrami, two slices of white supermarket bread stuffed with piles of glistening meat. That's it.

    Balmy in DC in March...going to see the Degas, Sickert, Lautrec show at the Philips Collection in Dupont Circle...need a civilized spot for brunch. The courtyard at Tabard Inn was the perfect spot this past weekend. Brunch started with a couple mimosas and plate of fresh doughnuts, still quivering from their time in the deep fat fryer, surrounding a pot of vanilla cream. Next we slurped down a half dozen oysters, fresh and briney. The menu has about 15 different entrees ranging from the breakfast end, eggs benny, waffles, pancakes, to the more lunchy quiche, gumbo, crab cakes. Most entrees run in the $10-$15 range. The Tabard Inn doesn't get much play on this board, but brunch outdoors when it's 70 degrees out. One quickly forgets that they are sitting in the middle of Dupont Circle. Quiche Eggs Benny

    Shame they are going to be closing down the upstairs, the upstairs Blue Room space was one of the better small spaces in DC for listening to dance music. First Red now Blue Room...

    The fresh lime soda is a excellent refreshing drink. Did you by chance have any coconuts from a road side stand. Guy with a machete chops of the top, you drink the milk, then they smash it open and scoop out the meat inside for you to chomp on. delicious.

    So two of the booby prize winners were sitting at MDT's table....In fact directly to his left and right...I smell a fix...worst than the 1919 Black Sox Scandal if you ask me. I want a refund!

    so is Slater's Lane between National Airport and Old Town or past Old Town near where we have the DR picnic... remember I've been in Virgina more times in the past month than I have in the past year...and I've only been in Virgina three times in the past month

    For all of us non-Alexandria types, where is this place located. Their website doesn't seem to list the location.

    I'm still baffled why this such a difficult concept to grasp by the general public. Perhaps when people call for a reservation and the restaurant is full Ray's should politely say: I'm sorry, reservations that night between 7 and 9pm are full. However I have a table available from 6pm to 7:30pm which you can have, but please be aware there is a reservation at that table for 7:30pm. Otherwise I can see what is available on another night. If people don't like this policy them let them eat (cheese) cake (factory).
