Hello All!
I'm Mike Bowers and am new to the board having read about it in last Sunday's Post. I'm looking forward to expanding my restaurant knowledge beyond Chowhound and the Washingtonian dining site.
I enjoy most cuisines and foods except sushi; that's probably a vestige of my southern upbringing and the result of marrying into a family of avid fishermen. My son, however, has overcome his dad's prejudices. I've also been known to enjoy a martini or two (Bluecoat if available), so I'm on the lookout for recommendations here.
Recently visited restaurants are Inox (for lunch where I very much enjoyed the Truffle Patty Melt and Frites), A La Lucia in Alexandria (where almost all the veal dishes are excellent), and Indochine in NYC (where in spite of various snarky comments about dated '80s glam, you can construct a hugely satisfactory meal from the appetizer menu).
Cheers,
Mike
