    That would give me the feeling of peeing on people's head. Did you have the same feeling?

    It is true, making traditional `Turkish Doner` is very labor intensive. Layering all the thin slices of beef and lamb takes time. There are also layers of fat added to give more flavor. I also find it interesting why she would not use oily meat.

    Hi All, I organized a beer dinner with Right Proper Brewery and Uprising Muffin Company, on March 25th Wednesday at 7.00pm. The event will be held here at Fishnet-Shaw. This is a unique event because 3 local businesses, we are in the same building as neighbors, are collaborating. I will cook the food, beers are from Right Proper and dessert course will be a creation muffin from Uprising Muffin. Cost is $45 and we take reservations at 202 350 4 350 with a credit card. I attached the planned menu but it will depend on the market. As for the beers, Nathan(head brewer) can not be specific up until few days before the event because of their high turn over of the beers. It will be a fun and one of a kind event considering all the local businesses. I hope to see some of you. Thanks, Ferhat

    I adore people who named those dishes such as `imam bayildi, hunker begendi`. I honestly did not pay attention after seeing the store bought baby carrots and broccoli. Using pine nuts is also not a common thing in this dish. Can Y. should contribute with his hilarious writing skills and humor to the naming of Turkish dishes.

    I think it could have been easy 3 stars but that is excellent given the size of that restaurant and their kitchen. Big Congrats to Chef Ogawa and Can!! BTW, his name is Can, when pronounced sounds almost identical to John, except you got to cut it vey short in the mouth.

    Might be early 2001. Right before I started at Corduroy. I was walking by and thought it looked like a nice place to work at. Stepped in to see if they were hiring and saw the waitstaff mopping, brooming and dusting. In their eyes I could feel the frustration. The person who was ordering everybody with a loud and strict voice gave me an application paper. I'm glad never returned it back.

    I haven`t seen a decline. I`ve been going there almost every other week since last year. The pizzas are still in top 5 for me in DC area.

    When Koji was behind the counter at SushiKo, that was my go to place. Kaz is also great.I have been there many times. Last time I was at Sushi Taro(almost 2 years ago), while it was very very good, I felt that I had to take a second loan on my house. Sushi Capitol deserves all the stars given by Todd Kliman. Fish is top notch quality. Given that Can Y. is running this place (btw, he might be the nicest person I`ve ever met) there is no other sushi restaurant I know of in DC area that can be comparable in overall experience. Today my lunch included agedashi tofu, chicken kara age, grilled yellowtail jaw(this is awesome) and some nigiri(eel was the best, octopus and toro were the rest). Yes, the place is small and barebones but when the food is great who cares about the rest.

    Joe, I understand your frustration but your situations are very rare coincidence. I had a party of 4, cancelled FishNook yesterday with the excuse being `there is a Caps game and the concert on the mall`. FishNook seats only 4 people and I have to bring in all my produce and seafood on Monday because the menu is completely different than the restaurant`s. Did these people not know about the game or the concert before hand? They made the reservation almost 4 weeks ago. I was too naive to trust them and did not ask for a credit card. How is that fair to me? I was not able to fill the seats tonight. I learned my lesson, just too late. Btw, you should try Melisse next time right across from Rustic Canyon.

    now you should make some so I can come and order a plate!

    I have them both. Blendtec is for home use and vitamix is for the restaurants. I find the blendtec a little flimsy for its container(but still strong enough to handle all the tasks). It has multiple programmed 1 touch buttons which are actually really good and makes sense. I have not had a single problem. Vitamix is all manual speed control and no programmed buttons(they have different models). I enjoy this and find it very useful for making soups and sauces. Also the container feels very strong(saying like `bring it on!!`) I am happy with both without a question. I think it is all preference.
