  1. This thread has gone from proper server etiquette to You Got Served.
  2. True indeed. I am a fan of the Bethesda location. My poison? A classic veggie with guac and enough hot sauce to burn my face off.
  3. Are there any noteworthy brunch spots in VA Beotch?
  4. Obelisk. I was supposed to go for my birthday but it fell through.
  5. Zora - Your story reminds me of the one and only time - a couple of years ago - that I tried to make peach jam. Instead, I ended up with one burnt All Clad pot and twelve jars of "smokey" peach chutney.
  6. Sierra is a little too hoppy for me. Magic Hat #9, on the other hand, is right up my alley (it's one of my favorites!). It's a little fruity, but also has a slighty hoppy bite. p.s. If hops are your thing and you like the Sierra, then I suggest trying Magic Hat Blind Faith.
  7. I just unwound at the wined down happy hour and all I can say is 'shame on me' for not checking it out sooner! Those truffled fries have the potential to cause some serious problems in the department of girlish figure maintainence, though. Naughty, but totally worth it.
  8. I have done that before and the wine was fine once it thawed. Then again, I'm more of a wino than a wine expert, so I could be wrong. p.s. Semi-slushy wine is good for wine spritzers when it's really hot outside. I speak from experience. *hiccup
  9. Actually, I was joking. We might need a thread split though.
  10. Me too! I've also found that banging the chef works wonders if you're trying to get special treatment.
  11. This is all very nice, but is it Metro accesible? I feel like having ice cream for dinner.
  12. I keep it really real, considering that I don't drive. I see that as being more of an issue for many citydwellers than a Park Avenue mentality, religion or politics.
  13. There are only a handful of reasons that I ever leave the district: Steak dinner at Peter's Inn, brunch at Four & Twenty Blackbirds, mojitos of death at Gua Rapo, anything at Eve, beer drinking and making fun of hipsters at Brewer's Art, pho (duh) at Pho 75, eggs benedict at Blue Moon Cafe or grocery shopping at Wegmans (even though I think that Fairfax is the eighth circle of hell and it makes me itch).
  14. I dunno. Any time that I've walked past it - which is, like, every single day - it's been dead. It's unfortunate! I was looking forward to a decent, low-key place in the neighborhood that would be able to deliver the goods when I was craving anything that is a step up from a dive-bar grilled cheese.
  15. Big ups! You are not the norm though, unfortunately. Many of us have been conditioned to associate plastic utensils with trashcans. One conservation organization that I worked with for many years did not even provide plastic utensils, foam plates or paper cups for coffee to its employees. Then again, they were running dishwashers on 5 floors every single night, which can be considered just as socially irresponsible as creating a lot of waste.
  16. I am a mustard packet packrat. I bring my own plate and utensils to work from home, and simply wash them after I use them. I keep them in my desk along with the stockpile of brown mustard packets that I have swiped from catered meetings. Using washable utensils is a habit that is easily adopted if you're looking to reduce your eco footprint. I also have a tree in my office and I hug it every day, in case you were wondering.
  17. So far, I've got reservations at: DC Coast and Corduroy for lunch, as well as Viridian for dinner. If I can find time during that week, I'd also like to try Rasika.
  18. I have three words for you: PLASTIC CHEESE NACHOS. Did I enjoy them? They are the only reason that I attend sporting events (unless it's hockey season). I have found that at RFK, the higher up you go, the better the food is.
  19. A home remedy for my too-much-champers-last-night hangover: Eggs scrambled with lots of hot sauce, cheddar cheese and turkey sausage on whole grain toast. Also, iced coffee and a peach!
  20. This is better than writing "for a good time, call..." messages on the bathroom wall at Chief Ike's. Here are a few new additions to the shitty tipper database: 1. demanda's stupid exboyfriends (all of them!) 2. demanda's old boss 3. demanda's psycho exhousemate
