  1. Coming out of my long hibernation to chime in here: if you are a fan of the Memphis original, the chicken absolutely translates here. And if you're not familiar, you should go. Gus's fried chicken is one of the last things I want to eat before I die.
  2. I have also seen ramen ordered, but I am unsure whether this is public knowledge, or an industry thing. Also, one key correction - Kingfisher has NO drafts, it's just cans. But Simul is right, it's a pretty great list. It is my coworkers' and my go-to after-work spot. If there's a better way to unwind than beer-and-shot combos, 80s action movies on the TV, and free popcorn, I don't know what it is.
  3. Family is in town from Arkansas. Looking for something for Friday night. Her parents are not the most adventurous diners in the world, but there's no reason to resign ourselves to the nearest TGI Chilibee's. Thanks in advance! --- [NB - I changed the title and tagged the thread. Rocks]
  4. I hope it's for a whole chicken, because $25 for a half chicken with waffles is ridiculous and unjustifiable. I also hope it's for a half chicken, because while $25 for a whole chicken is at least understandable, serving a whole chicken as what can be gleaned as a personal entree from the menu is just as ridiculous and unjustifiable.
  5. It's worth noting that the Loudoun and Capitol Hill Matchboxes have two different lamb sandwiches, and if you thought the one you had at Loudoun was overpriced, I hope (or not? not really sure) that's accounting for the fact that the one in Loudoun is $4 cheaper ($12 vs. $16 on Capitol Hill)
  6. Well, off to Wegmans, then! Thanks for the help, all!
  7. Anybody else familiar with these? I fell in love a couple years ago, and I recently developed a serious craving. Zweigle's sells them direct online, but the shipping is prohibitively expensive ($60 to ship three pounds of sausages?!?! Nooooooo thank you!). Does anybody know of a shop in the area that carries Zweigle's white hots?
  8. I'd question how appealing the menu is, frankly. It feels like upscale TGI Friday's schlock to me - $12 footlong hot dog, anyone? And walking by on Thursday night (when they looked open - maybe it was just friends and family?), I was more than a little disheartened to see not one, but two frozen margarita machines sitting behind the bar. I could obviously be quite wrong, but the first comparison I drew walking by was Rosa Mexicano, down to the tableside guacamole. Except that Rosa Mexicano at least tries to stay within the realm of Mexican food, whereas AG Kitchen seems to be all over the place. Latin cuisine! Y'know, Cuban, or Brazilian, or Mexican, or Spanish! Or a Juicy Lucy? Sorry to sound so cynical, but in a region with such great Latin cuisine, I just have no desire to ever step foot in a place hawking Latin food for gringos.
  9. It's not usually a problem - the Fillmore lines go the opposite way down the block, towards Fenton.
  10. This is still a gratuity. Literally the only difference between this and the system that we currently operate under is that if I suck as a server, you're allowed to express that by docking my tip. Meanwhile, since it's an "administrative charge," and not actually a gratuity, that means that the restaurant can legally take part of it for themselves even though they're implying that it's really a gratuity. How is this better than the current setup, exactly?
  11. This news is not at all surprising to me, or any number of friends who also worked for the group in the last few years. "Could Matchbox Become The Next Cheesecake Factory?" by Nevin Martell on washingtonpost.com
  12. And even then, I can't see myself running back too many times for three pieces of fried chicken and a biscuit with a total price tag of about $30. I really enjoyed it when I went for the first time. And despite working very close by, I haven't been back.
  13. And in the same building as the Scion location in Silver Spring. (I assume - I haven't been to either, but the addresses are the same).
