  1. I love great food. I will travel far and wide for it. However, I have a dilemma in my own neighborhood. Two of my favorite restaurants are The General Store and the Sub Urban Trading company and I frequent them often, but I always leave with a bad feeling. A feeling that I was not welcomed or invited. A feeling like I would feel if I went over to a friend's house whose mom was a terrific cook and fed me a great meal, but scowled as she served it and made me feel like I wasn't invited (even though I was) and intruding in her space . It seems to me that if you do not want to serve people with a smile then why bother opening a restaurant?

    It's getting bad. I often drive by The General Store and chills go up my spine and I think "thank god I'm not hungry so I don't have to go in there." Today at Sub Urban Trading Company, I was treated rudely by one of the staff and it is impossible to tell the owner because she is just as rude as the employee and doesn't care. It's a shame, I love the food at both places, but I am not emotionally strong enough to go to them any more because the rest of my day gets ruined. I guess I will just have to go back to Popeye's for my fried chicken -- at least the staff there is friendly.

  2. Great cupcakes around DC

    baked and wired - g'town - big, dense and sugary frosting

    The General Store- silver spring - light w sugary buttercream frost and a hint of sea salt

    Sub Urban trading company-Kensington- light, not too sweet has both cream cheese and buttercream frost

    fancy cakes by Leslie-Bethesda - moist, sweet and very unique toppings including edible glitter that sparkles when you eat them outside

    buzz- haven't been much but know there is some real talent in that kitchen
