    Even so, you're clearly very talented. Best of luck at CityZen.
  2. ulterior epicure
    Excellent. Having worked under Haazs (and Kaysen), you've surely got a lot of great things to share with the dining public at CityZen. I look forward to seeing your menus, and hopefully tasting your desserts.

    Del Ray, Del Ray, Del Ray... that's in Virginia, right? Recalculating, recalculating, recalculating... Does the metro run out there? I'm a sucker for ice cream.

    Just about choked on my own spittle. Oh, Don, I thought you knew me better than that. The last thing I want to do is eat where THOSE people eat. Honestly, I'm just getting a little rusty on my D.C. power scenes and needed a refresher. I have conjured in my mind scads of places that fit the example I'm looking to make, but no particular names or specific dining rooms are surfacing. I mean, I suppose the Monocle is a bit divey. And the Capitol Hill Club is only for members of one side of the aisle. The Round Robin is almost perfect, except it's way too much bar and not enough restaurant. The problem is, the current administration is making those clubby places out of date in a way that they never were before.

    No, less bangle, more cigar.
  6. ulterior epicure
    Yes, I was thinking more of the clubby, old-guard types, like the Bombay Club and The Palm. Any others?

    This is going to be a very odd query, but I was wondering if the members of this board could help me come up with some usual suspect restaurants where one might find power-brokering politicians and their kind.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. My business trip was permanently postponed. However, I did help out a couple of colleagues who did end up going. They managed to escape the National Harbor and had lunch at Hank's in Alexandria and lunch (or was it early dinner?) at Central Michel Richard. D.C. is begging me to return. So many places I need to eat there!

    #12, easy on the mayo, heavy on the avocado.

    Oh, yes, I know full well the value of Potbelly. Between Chipotle and Jimmy Johns, Potbelly fueled me through many a late-night cram session in college.

    Your enthusiasm brings tears to my eyes. And Don, always the reliable source, thanks for those suggestions.
  12. ulterior epicure
    Help me dust this thread off. Say you're trapped at the National Harbor for about 48 hours with no foreseeable sign of escape, where would you eat?

    I might have A.D.D. compared to the rest of you. I was seated with a direct eye line into a kitchen. Without trying to be rude, I'm sure I was mesmerized by one of the cooks tossing and twirling those fluffy pitas more than I should have. As I said above (somewhere?), when you're sitting in a dark room and there's a bright source of light, it's hard NOT to gaze toward it, especially if there's activity going on, however mind-numbing it might be.

    I can give you three of the ingredients. 1. Medjool dates. 2. VERY HIGH-QUALITY EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. 3. Sea salt. Don Rocks will have to supply the rest.

    Ouch. Dry escolar. That's not an easy achievement. I'm nodding with some familiarity.
