indian city grill in fairfax. same chef. really great food -
saranac is better, but both are sweetened with corn syrup.
-
wegmans has it as well.
-
I make regular trips back to acadia parish and I've only ever seen in people's home, along with rice, never in restuarants.
-
boudin actually is the sausage, it's made from rice, pork and pork liver(hopefully more pork than rice), green onions and spice. it's put into a casing. boudin balls are just the same thing minus the casing and deep fried.
-
speaking as a cajun, this statement isn't quite accurate. while it's not uncommon to see the 2 mixed, most people eat their gumbo with rice.
-
went there this past weekend and they had signs up for a grand opening for a third location at 7050 Sping Garden Drive in Springfield.
-
regardless of the reasons why someone chose not to consume something, knowingly serving them whatever they choose not to eat and not telling them is a total dick move.
-
is there any reason to believe this will be any better an experience than bebo was/is? It's not like the original galileo had a stellar service record either.
-
they tend to be generally safe because they're used for the fasting days, which means no animal products of any kind. Ethiopian has always been one of the safest things for vegan friends because of that.
-
most Ethiopian vegetarian offerings are vegan. http://www.vegdc.com/ also has a full listing

regarding the parking, does everyone just park in the giant parking lot? Has anyone ever had any trouble with ticketing/being towed?

takoyaki is pretty constant and good. oden (sp) is seasonal and very good, root vegetable stew. I tend to get one of the set meals usually kakuni or tonkatsu sets which come with rice and 3-4 small side dishes of various things most of which I have no clue what i'm eating but enjoy nonetheless. The staff are all very nice and will make recommendations based on how busy they are and what you tell them your taste is.

it's not pumpkin in the sense of cloves and nutmeg. It's a completely different and incredible flavor. There are also cornmeal cookies with pepita that are great too.

The omakase I had at Sushi Ko back in May wasn't like you described at all, it was multiple courses, some from the kitchen and some from the sushi bar, and in my case was excellent.
-
because most people become vegetarian (and vegan especially) because of moral/ethical reasons and not because they dislike the taste of meat. So why wouldn't they want something that tastes like something they enjoy without the moral issues attached to it? Some people amazing things with fake meat. Locally Vegetable Garden and Yuan Fu do very well. In NYC you've got places like Kate's Joint, Red Bamboo and Vegetarians Paradise 2.

super h mart has it. it's over on the far wall with all the dairy.
-
the menu isn't just similar it's identical to minerva. is it the same people?
-
that's in the chat too if you want to read between more lines. either way it's closing it's doors in crystal city and donna is taking over the space at some point before october if what tom provided is correct.
-
uh, oyamel closing, getting replaced by bebo by donna. it's in tom's chat if you read between the lines.

A Taste of Burma, Burmese in Sterling
xdcx replied to Demvtr's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
This replaced Big Mango Thai sometime within the last few months and most of the interior is a hold over from that. The location is horrible. It's not visible from the street and unless you know there's something back there you won't find it. I went there for lunch about a week ago and it was really good. It's not as good as Myanmar but the service was faster and the menu is about as big. I had the Green Curry Beef and it was done nicely. -
The last couple of months the food has been below normal. We're there at least once a week for the last 2 years and there has definitely been something off with the kitchen. That said the last time we were there, which was early last week the food was back to normal. I'm hoping this continues.
-
the prices might have been a bit high, but I don't understand why you would assume there would be no charge. I've never been to a mexican restuarant that didn't charge extra for guac. Most do charge extra for sour cream, especially if it's ordered extra.
-
le matin de paris also does them in annandale with vanilla or green tea ice cream in addition to the ice and fruit.
-
if anyone in your party is vegetarian, do not take them to rio grande. The only thing that is vegetarian is the vegetable fajitas. Even the things where meat isn't an ingredient like cheese enchiladas, chile rellenos, rice and beans all are either cooked with stock or lard.
