  1. What about in DC? We generally order from Mr. Chens in Woodley Park but it hasn't been as good in recent years. Jennifer
  2. Hey There, Going to be spending a couple of says in Savannah over the holidays. Anyone been lately and have some recs for some delicious meals? Jennifer
  3. So my husband and I are going to NOLA for our 5th wedding anniversary. We have been told that to do it up right we should go to Commanders. Think this is good advice? I am allergic to shellfish, (no I can't just down a bunch of drugs before hand and yes, I know that it is a "sin" to miss the shellfish in LA,.... whatever), but we really want to taste some cajun food and be dazzled. What say you all?
  4. In case someone backs out, I would love to come. Jennifer
  5. Best meal of my life was at Komi last year. Also the most expensive meal of my life. I would love to go back, but it is definitely a special occasion place. My husband and I still talk about the goat.
  6. Anyone have any recent meals to add? My husband and I are going to be there later this year and we haven't been since 2006. Thanks in advance! Jennifer
  7. Coco Beach So my husband and I are going to Nationals Spring Training in March and we would love some recs for good places to eat while we are there. We are staying in Coco Beach and would love to know of a great place in the area. Anyone?
  8. I had the meal of a lifetime at Komi last Friday. It was also the most expensive meal that I have ever had in my life. I am having a hard time coming up with the vocabulary to talk about what happened to me at that restaurant. The service was off the chain awesome. The wine pairings were spot on, delicious and thought provoking. The goat made me want to raise them, roast them and eat them at home. The cheese course was the single most stinky thing I have ever put in my mouth and can still taste it. I wish I were rich and I would go once a week and sit in that table in the window like we did last week. Love love love it.
  9. That is the great thing about freedom. You can go where you want, think what you want to think and as long as your decisions don't harm me, we are cool.
  10. <---has a Michigan accent. I for one will no longer be eating at Zaytinya. And I was a semi-regular there. You lost a great customer ass-hat.
  11. I took a Central Virgin to lunch today and I forced her to order the fried chicken. I have made another person into a Central fan today. The chicken was perfectly done and the sauce on the side makes a perfect dipping sauce. I love to dip I realized today. I think dip is my favorite food next to bagels and cream cheese.
  12. oh my Jesus, I had the burger last week and I now declare it to be the best burger in washington dc. There, I said it. I have tried all of them and this one was done perfectly, juicy, loved the relish and just perfect bun. Please have one immediately.
  13. I just wish that the entree version at Central was served with more than just the one cracker it comes with. I always have to ask for extra bread to smear it on. I can't get down with just eating fork fulls of it.
  14. The zoo bar is among my favorite dives in DC. First, you can smoke and drink outside on the patio. Second, you are a mere stumble from vace to get a slice to soak up the booze in your gullet and finally there are always the same 5 or so old men there drinking and holding court. Love it. Bad thing is that it is kind of pricey for a "dive bar".
  15. The fried chicken at Central will make you cry. The fried chicken at Madam's Organ will make you weep.
  16. We were in Disney for the 2008 Epcot Food and Wine Festival and the best place that we ate while there was the California Grill at the Contemporary. The sushi was very very good and you can't beat the view. we are planning on going back in May. Joe H mentioned the Flying Fish way up top. we ate there too and were less than impressed. For the money, the California Grill was much better.
  17. can you add your recipie for the bourbon glazed sweet potatoes? I am looking for something special to bring to our dinner this year and that is the dish that I am in charge of.
  18. to me for working my rear off doing voter protection work in VA yesterday. oh and to President Obama. He's cool, too
  19. my my, so pretentious. I guess I eat there because unlike most of the places I dine at in DC which have the patented "DC Service" I get 1/4 the additute and 3X better service. And honestly? I think the food there is pretty good. Yeah, I could go to the other place, where I can't get a reservation and I have to wait all GD night to be served and have a really really good meal. But at the Capital Grill I can get a reservation, have a wonderful drink at the bar and have a nice evening without driving to VA and waiting for the honor to eat there.
  20. you are right about that. As a cancer survivor myself, I remember that many of the foods that I wanted then I can't even touch now. Kind of like that bad gin experience you had in undergrad, I can't eat kale or feta cheese anymore. eek. and urp. But my friend on the other hand says everything tastes the same right now and he wants something that is real flavorful. I have never made Indian food, but the chili idea is a good one.
