    It's a block away from Metro Center? That's good! But that's bad. But that's good! (somebody let me know when we're going, 'k?)

    I'll have to see - I might be able to just come in to work earlier instead of staying later to get what needs to be done done.

    What can I say? Thanks for repeatedly bashing me over the head with the rock I've been living under. Edit to add: I think the spirit of my point is still valid though if, in the same category as Andres got his nod, Tom Colicchio got a nomination for Craft.

    A nudge to the top to point out that, per Twitter, they've passed their electrical inspection at the new location. Inching closer......

    Is Andres actually cooking in any of his kitchens? I was under the impression that he wasn't, and if he's not, I don't know that he necessarily deserves to be so high on the list.

    So apparently I'm going to need to be working Tuesday night (even though it wasn't on my schedule originally, argh), so unless I can convince my boss otherwise, I'm regrettably going to have to sit this one out.

    I think I've just now come out of my carb coma from that night. Pretty much everything was excellent, and the mussels in particular were absolutely to die for. Probably my favorite preparation of mussels I've had in the DC area. I also loved the addition of the sea salt to the creme caramel, but I agree with DanielK's criticism: it wasn't distributed terribly evenly, and some bites were much less salty than others. Without a doubt, I will be back, preferably with friends in tow.

    Heading up to Hartford for business in a few weeks. Anybody have anything else to add?

    Friend just tweeted that it was announced at the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board meeting that Ceviche is going to be shuttered. Judging from some of the reports here, I'm not sure I should be terribly torn up.

    Without knowing anything about the individuals involved, is there a particular reason why this was a partnership that was doomed to fail?

    Sietsema apparently Tweeted yesterday that Morales is gone from Jackie's (with appropriate credit to TIm Carman for the heads-up).

    If you live closer to Arlington, sure. However, since the poster who was asking lives in Montgomery County, Silver Spring would (presumably) be a less hellacious trek than Arlington would be.

    Because they serve the Hell-Burger at the bar.
  14. fuzzy510
    Anxiously awaiting the menu (not that it matters, I'm there anyway).

    Actually, I don't know why i haven't asked this, and I apologize if it's been asked: if you've already gone to (and thoroughly enjoyed everything about) Ray's the Classics, is there any reason to make the (for me) inconvenient trip to Ray's the Steaks?

    3/2 sounds fantastic to me.

    I don't think Dean would have said anything at all had Don not criticized him in the first place.

    You're making a mountain out of a molehill here, Don. It's hardly as if these restaurants are saying that this is the best or most efficient way to donate to the Haiti relief efforts. And for the record, if I'm going to make an effort to go to Dino, which I can't afford to do on a regular basis, I appreciate Dean sending me an e-mail to let me know that if I choose to dine there during a certain timeframe, my money going in part to a worthy cause.

    I believe you're right about Franklin's doing growlers. DuClaw Brewing Company also, I'm certain, does growlers.

    Count me in for Mi La Cay, for certain.

    The menu is definitely hit-or-miss, but I feel like when they hit, they're really good. Some of my favorites are the eggplant fries, the Roma flatbread, and the pulled pork sliders. I actually really liked the sliders, which made the genius decision of adding smoked gouda to the sandwich to add the smokiness lost by the fact that they don't have the facilities to smoke the pork shoulder.

    Tried to do some cleaning (to no avail) and stumbled across my receipt from a trip to CommonWealth a few months ago with a friend of mine who was getting married soon, and realized I hadn't posted anything about it here (particularly damning when you consider I consulted this site often when trying to figure out where to take him). Now, I must admit, I don't remember a whole hell of a lot about the different details of the meal, given that we were drinking quite a bit (not even counting the shots of Scotch our waiter was sending our way once he found out my friend was getting hitched), but what I do remember: -The pork pies had a lovely flaky crust to them that I thoroughly enjoyed -I loved the Scotch eggs, which is saying something, because I hate Scotch eggs -My duck confit risotto was just weird. Didn't work at all for me, and I ate maybe 1/3 of it. -The pork belly sliders were fantastic. I would go back and make a meal out of those little buggers alone. -Uh, they serve booze. Lots and lots of booze. All in all, a great time was had, and I thoroughly enjoyed most everything we had (and this is even before downing lots of booze - we paced ourselves, thank you very much). Being ridiculously convenient to get to as well, I think CommonWealth will become a frequent part of my rotation (or whatever semblance of a rotation I have). (Also, I apparently like writing in parentheses)

    After having eaten a few more times at the location in College Park, I'd like to retract anything good I had to say about this place. It seems after the folks from corporate headquarters left the place once they had helped it open, anything resembling quality control has gone out the window. Meats are dry, items are either bland or too salty, and worst of all, tonight I received a pickle that tasted sour in the worst sense possible. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP A PICKLE?!?!?! I refuse, however, to say anything bad about free soft-serve ice cream.

    So, who's going to organize the DR.com get-together once Hollywood East reopens? I'm still embarrassed to admit that I've never been.

    You know Rocks, generally you're not supposed to wait until three weeks into the new year to do an In/Out list.
