    Because you're not supposed to put ketchup on a po boy? Kind of like the $1000 Coors Lights at Little Miss Whiskey's...

    Funny you should mention this. At the game Tuesday evening my father and I noticed an 'old school' style hot dog vendor in our section. By this I mean a vendor who has the dogs in hot water and adds them to the bun individually per sale and hands to you in wax paper with however many mustard, relish and ketchup packets you'd like (the alternative being foil wrapped dogs put together in the kitchen and sold that way). Haven't seen that in ages, nice touch. There probably aren't too many hot dog/pretzel/ice cream/peanut guys in the aisles because the profit level is low and everyone wants to sell (and buy) beer. You see more food in the aisles after beer sales end in the 8th.

    Sorry, but it has to be done...

    I go to about 20 games a season and rarely eat in the Park. Maybe the occasional hot dog, nachos or Frito pie from Hard Times. Try to eat somewhere before games and concentrate on baseball and beer. Tonight I'll be slurping down ramen at Toki a couple hours before first pitch

    Shame the Skyline in the food court never really caught on. When was that... early 90s? 80s?

    Gilly's in Rockville now has wi-fi. Ask for the password at the counter. http://www.gillyscbfw.com/

    Also, moving 5 blocks west of 14th does nothing for your cool factor these days.

    Don't want to steer this into a tangent, but South Capitol Street might as well be Hadrian's Wall these days with the amount of seperation between the Near SE/Navy Yard neighborhood and Southwest. Near SE with the two parks, Nats Park, Metro, new housing, DOT, Justin's, etc is pretty much its own little world for residents, workers and Nats fans. Very few cross S Capitol into SW, if anything they migrate to Barracks Row in SE for restaurants, bars and shopping. bookluvingbabe alluded to the resident/worker "SW" pet peeve - even major media outlets make the mistake of labelling Nats Park as "Southwest". Tangental rant over, maybe I'll hit Lot 38 tomorrow on a chilly morning before the Nats exhibition

    Or they're just doing things that guys in Portland and Austin have done for years - which kind of sums up the food truck scene

    Well it does take Blumenthal 6 hours to make chips... http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/chefs/heston-blumenthal/triple-cooked-chips-recipe

    So were the peas in the pie or just alongside?

    The couch. People really don't like them bragging about that couch.

    I might shell out $250 for some Roundball Rock

    I'm not anti-pea, really. I don't often like them in or near dishes - but I appreciate them as a seasonal veggie. One thing that's kind of interesting is that because of America's Irishness - and the popularity of Irish bars here - a lot of British food is assumed to be Irish. Mushy peas are about as English as queue minding and stiff upper lips. Fish and chips, often served with a side of mushy peas, are more English than Irish - but like many dishes made their way over to Ireland. Pretty sure that cottage and shepherds pies orginated in Britain before showing up in Ireland. A lot of traditional Irish food didn't really travel with the diaspora and make it to the table of our current Irish-American pubs. Things like champ, boxties, colcannon, coddle, etc. Though you can find those dishes at some American bars and restaurants. Irish bacon and cabbage still persists, or course -- with help from our Jewish friends and the delicious corned beef brisket which they lended to the Irish in NYC when rasher bacon was not available. P.S. * note to fire departments * Also not Irish... bagpipes What were we talking about again?

    I don't order Shepherd's Pie in the US because it's almost always made with peas (and sometimes corn) - which is just wrong. The best versions I've had have been from moms' kitchens in England. And from this delicious prepared food market/restaurant in London -- http://www.villandry.com/locations/great_portland_street/takeaway_cakecounter/. Since we tend to use ground beef and not lamb here, it's actually Cottage Pie that's prepared at a lot of pubs and restaurants. Yes, I'm kind of snobby when it comes to casual British food.

    From the Post - free doughnuts later this morning (Thurs 2/21)

    I think Bluejacket will be an instant destination - within the city and people coming in from out of town to visit. Gordon Biersch will be a popular with local office dwellers at lunch and families before games (they're probably going to be up and running by opening day). Bluejacket is going to be on a different level - a nationally important brewery and bar (hopefully open in May/June). Nice thing is that it's going to be big, so getting a beer before a game should be feasable.

    Here's a more comprehensive list, that drink does indeed include whiskey... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/going-out-guide/wp/2013/02/05/inside-barmini-jose-andress-cocktail-lab-next-to-minibar/ Have to say, I like how comprehensive the menu is and it includes a lot of the classics I love. Old Pal? Yes, please.
