The Inn At Little Washington - With 2001 National James Beard Award Winner Patrick O'Connell
mtureck replied to brr's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
That's strange....the truffled popcorn has been included in the tasting menus for as long as I can remember. Wonder if charging for it is a new thing, or if someone screwed up. Bad either way.- 145 replies

Market Lunch - Terrific Breakfast and Lunch inside of Eastern Market, Open since 1978
mtureck replied to Kev29's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
The Brick with bacon is still my favorite breakfast sandwich of all time, and I also love the buckwheat pancakes and the crab cakes. I find it neither overpriced nor overrated.- 8 replies

The Inn At Little Washington - With 2001 National James Beard Award Winner Patrick O'Connell
mtureck replied to brr's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
I loved the Inn back when it had a big prix fixe menu for around $120, and I still really liked it when the $160 tasting menu was the only option. I don't know how I'd feel about it now that it's up to $238.- 145 replies

Washington Post Restaurant Critic Tom Sietsema's Top 10 List of Favorite Restaurants, Fall 2018
mtureck replied to Marty L.'s topic in News and Media
And Del Mar is #1. Obviously more of a "places I'm really liking right now" as opposed to a real ten best list. And I've been to a grand total of zero of the ten. Impressive.- 7 replies

Bub and Pop's - Mae and Irv Wagner's Philadelphia-Inspired Sandwiches on 18th and M Street Downtown
mtureck replied to squidsdc's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
They are a bit pricey, but I'm a pretty big eater, and I find that the half sandwiches (which tend to be around $10) are more than enough for lunch.- 44 replies

Bub and Pop's - Mae and Irv Wagner's Philadelphia-Inspired Sandwiches on 18th and M Street Downtown
mtureck replied to squidsdc's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Reading about the closing of Taylor Gourmet reminded me that I hadn't been there for some time because Bub and Pop's was close, and so much better. Which, in turn, reminded me that I hadn't been to Bub and Pop's in some some time either. I remedied that today, and it's still fantastic, at least based on the Italian Hoagie. I wish they used plain lettuce instead of arugula, but other than that it's pretty much a perfect sandwich. Keep in mind that I never do take out there, as all their sandwiches tend to be pretty messy, and turn into a soggy, but delicious, mess during the five minutes it takes to get back to my office. A few obvious tourists, gaping at at the Guy Fieri pictures, is about the only change from the last time I was there. Lucky to have this place.- 44 replies

Well, I did wait in line for hummus, and it gets a solid "meh" from me. I went with the #5...chicken shawarma, pickled onions, herb tahini and za'tar. The chicken was terrible...nothing shawarma-ish about it, just chunks of low quality, barely seasoned chicken. As for the hummus itself...it was fine. Nothing in any way exceptional about it. I'd put the pita a little above average, but again, nothing to write home about. I imagine this place caters more to vegetarian tastes, so maybe that's the way to go here.
