    I'm out. Don't know if I am in the 50 or not. Thanks for being patient.

    johnb, do you have a link handy to the New Zealand lamb bit?

    Please keep me on as a maybe. Sorry, I should have figured out where this is before I answered. Pretty tough to get there in time after work. I will firm up plans next week.

    Is there a closer metro station than East Falls Church?

    their marrow was meh. fine, but nothing special. I had a stuffed quail dish that was superb though. This was a couple years ago, it's not on the menu any more. I love the look of the place. Get a table by the kitchen if watching is your thing.

    Asahi in Laurel is AYCE at lunch. I think it's well worth the 11 bucks or so. Also has a hot buffet with some 6 or so dishes, and banchan and miso soup.

    I'm interested

    Any more thoughts on this? When I see Luray and Frederick on the DC board, my blood boils a little bit. And I don't even like Baltimore.

    Ugh. This type of shit makes me so angry.

    I have heard good things for years but haven't managed to make it in there. I will do my best to rectify that.

    Note, I went to my local HT not arlington, which is Fulton MD or whatever they are calling that area now

    Last out the door, first to post. The DR event here tonight was great. I was especially a fan of all things vegetable. The fried green tomato on the tomato appetizer plate was my favorite bite of the night. I'll let others get into the details; I'm off to find fatback for lardo. Thanks to chef and to Goodeats for arranging all of this, and nice to meet some posters.

    My lucky little sister just returned from a summer in Europe, and brought back a load of pate/rillettes/etc from that region. She loved the wines and wants to find some to have with the edibles. A brief peek at the internet told me to stop looking and ask here for locally available suggestions. Thanks!

    I will look and report back, thank you

    Trying to make Chicago style dogs for a fantasy football draft. Can't locate this key ingredient. Anyone seen them anywhere? Note: I am looking for hot dog buns, not poppy seeds.

    Interesting topic, but I would like to know how it could possibly be "unfair" to existing restaurants?
  20. Toogs
    Yeah who knew 2 lbs of peppers would be so much.

    csa is great this year. Additionally, the market is awesome now, as they bring in fruit and the veg range is wider. I could happily just shop there as my produce market even if I wasn't in the CSA.

    Ugh, on both ends of my trip, planes trains and automobiles (and relatives) kept me out of the restaurants. I did have fantastic steamers at The Rusty Scupper in Freeport (sorry Leleboo--I go back once or twice a year so your suggestions WILL be used!)

    Semi-inspired by Alton Brown's recent taco episode and definitely inspired by the abundance of tomatoes and peppers from CSA, it's taco night. Edit: I made his very easy salsa recipe, and it's really quite good. Just the right heat level, and that's with discarding all of the seeds. And I used random peppers from CSA rather than the red pepper. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/salsa-recipe/index.html

    Pork deckle? I just learned something

    I love Willi's wine bar for something laid back. Great bone marrow.
