We made our first visit today after the wait for breakfast at Ted's Bulletin was unfathomable. Boy did we wish we'd have just stayed in line... The drinks (bloody mary, though from a bottle, and a mimosa) were ok, and Brandon got the white bean soup which was pretty tasty. He went with the egg sandwich on ciabatta. The bread was nicely toasted, but the sausage was overcooked beyond comprehension and the apple slices that came as a side were pretty oxidized (when they showed up, I thought they were potatoes). The real trainwreck was the "shrimp and grits" (in quotes for a reason). $14 buys you five (20-25 count or so) shrimp, and about an ounce of crab meat hidden underneath a grit "croquette" (read: a ball of grits dropped into the fryer). The shrimp are swimming in some kind of cream sauce. As someone from the south, I find this variation on the classic dish to be a bit insulting (not to mention, the appetizer-sized portion for $14). Brunch was definitely a "meh" experience.

I'm new to the DC area by about a month or so, and was seriously considering joining a CSA last year in Atlanta. I'm living in the Kalorama/Dupont/Adams Morgan area, are there any that folks would recommend? Thanks! Chris
