if that's the case, it's actually illegal unless the federal government is the one doing it, and even then it's only legal in certain circumstances.

shoppers food warehouse actually does a really good and consistent apple fritter. Actually most of their donuts are decent for what they are.

If you get the egg where it still has a soft yolk it makes all the difference. I get it maybe 1/2 of the time, but when I do, it's great. -
weekly lunch stop. the exploding egg special is one of the best things I've ever eaten.

one negative one that's displayed. 6 positive and 1 negative that are "filtered"

this seems like a pretty clear example of this

i was there a couple of weeks ago. way easier to deal with than regular hellburger. Burger was the same as I had at the original but way less stress about where to sit and a much calmer area. because it had been a while I got a regular hellburger but my wife got the turkey burger and she loved it.

really great peaches and cream and blueberry lavender popsicles today at the shop.

The Bread Ovens at Quail Creek Farm
xdcx replied to CrescentFresh's topic in Farms and Farmers' Markets
they've pull out of the burke famers market. From what we were told the fairfax county health department hassled them for not having their products individually wrapped up. Since they couldn't do that, they pulled out of the market rather than face a fine. -
sausage flavor would overpower the shrimp. Shrimp, crab, oyster would be traditional. Make a stock from the shrimp peels and you'd have a great gumbo.
-
this is pretty much dead on. you need a smoked sausage. Andouille isn't generally used in Acadiana, I can't speak for NOLA though. I bring my smoked sausage back in a cooler when visiting family so I can't really give you any tips on where to get it here. Take your time with the roux. It will easily take 40-50 mins of constant stirring. You'll want to use something wooden and flat if you can, to scrape the bottom of the pot so it all cooks the same. What kind of gumbo are you planning on making? Chicken and sausage?

Went twice this past weekend. had hot chocolate with peppers, watermelon, rose and creamy mint. All very good and very similar to what's being offered at the Dairy Godmother. Had a great breakfast at the Pancake Pantry. I've never had buckwheat pancakes like that. I don't think there was any wheat in them. They were very dark and served with honey instead of syrup. Went to a great meat and 3 called southern bred in east nashville. amazingly tender chicken fried steak, great mashed potatoes, new orleans corn pudding and fried green tomatoes.

Breeze, Bakery and Cafe on Hummer Road in Annandale

yup -
this strongly seconded.

Did you cast dispersions on a restaurant that you haven't been to? If your beef is people being able to challenge each other, then fair enough and I'd agree with that. If it's that people here are above talking shit for the sake of it, then that's not the case.
-
yeah that never happens here
-
They're really good and have a rotating selection of flavors. The Dairy Godmother in Del Ray has something similar now too.

Hot Breads, an India-Based Franchise Operation
xdcx replied to ol_ironstomach's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
there are ones in chantilly, herndon and alexandria as well. -
you completely missed the point and rather than addressing my question you go off on an unrelated tangent. Now if you want to talk about perceived value and cost, we certainly can, but that'd kind of mean you'd have to cause you to get off your high horse and actually talk about it rather than just spit out snarky bullshit. I'd just really like to know why a $15 pizza is so over priced and why you think it is? From where I sit, $15 for an entree in this area isn't that much and don't really understand why just because we're talking about pizza it's something that only the richest amongst us can afford.
-
I haven't seen anyone on this site talk about the prices of salads at rustico, any of NRG for that matter or GAR. In fact I can't think of any places in that general price range with entree salads under $14-15. I don't see people complaining about the prices of the sandwiches at central. So what makes pizza so different? How do you determine the value of a meal? What makes that pizza not worth $15?
-
the problem here is painting all pizza with the same brush. The pizza I had at Orso wasn't comfort food at all. I wouldn't put it on the same level as take out pizza or even what someone could make at home. Why do people think that $15 for pizza is outrageous but $15 for a salad or a sandwich or xyz isn't? I just don't understand why because it's pizza there is somehow automatically an arbitrary value assigned to it.
-
they've translated a lot of it. the last page of the menu has a lot of things and there's now an entire separate menu for the set dinners that has been translated as well, you just have to ask for it.
-
the thing I've always liked about ray's is that it strives to serve as many people as possible and to do that it means that they need to be as efficient and turn as many tables over as possible. While I can understand not wanting to be rushed out the door before you're finished eating, you can't offer first come first serve seating in half the restaurant and have people linger, it just doesn't work. I've never been there any time after 5 where there wasn't a wait and a long line of people waiting for tables. I've been one of those people and I'm always really happy when I finally get my table.

because kogi's tacos are actually really tasty and it would have been nice if someone here made something similar? http://kogibbq.com/
