  1. that's what i was getting at. we are taking about erik bruner yang's (very tasty) dish, when tim ma is an incredibly talented and creative chef. he doesn't need his buddies recipes, in my opinion, i hope that's a compliment as i love tim and joey's restaurants.
  2. major props to business owners that buck the status quo (and get free publicity for doing it), and not to get too geoff tracy and all but... come on. giving extra attention to restaurants who have a no-tip policy? is mcdonalds in the dining guide now? having no idea what operators pay their staff in addition to tip income, and assuming that we all pay minimum wage with no tips to back of house, and only server pay plus tips to bartenders? do we know how much these no-tip folks pay their staff vs those of us who pay hourly plus tip share, and what their staff actually takes home? as a consumer, what's the difference, assuming one has the super advanced mathematical skills to calculate a percentage instead of having an operator tack it on (and maybe/probably taking a cut of that brilliant "service fee" for their operating expenses/yacht fuel)? yes, raise the federal minimum wage significantly, retaining the current stipulation that tipped workers have to make AT LEAST that with hourly and tips, or the operator makes it up. this would help low paid members of the entire customer service industry, not just low income workers in restaurants owned by schmucks. those of us who ALREADY pay a decent wage to our tipped workers won't bat an eye at this, because we hold onto our beloved staff by paying more than we're required to already.
  3. we've tried the new "yummy kabob" (gallows & 495, in the old "photoria" building behind 7-11) a couple times and were pleased. beats the other kabob options in the immediate area.
  4. countdown to copying brooks' recipe begins
  5. Not your asshole kid's Four Loko 07/03/15 - "It's Not Your Father's Root Beer - But Whose Is It?" by Don Russell on philly.com
  6. While it's a pain to pull up to, matchbox has a pretty strong takeout game with dedicated heat-lamped station. elephant jumps travels well and is an easy grab. in a pinch the 24 hour cafeteria has a healthy and pretty tasty thing of farrow, beans and veggies in a cup in the grab and go cooler when you first walk in.
  7. They don't have beer here but when i can, one for my partner in business and matrimony who just popped out our little dude
  8. i still believe merriopolis can support a couple expensive and worth it restaurants. not everybody in nova wants to schlep to dc to pay too much for a meal.
  9. seriously, i wish this guy or someone would open something of this caliber in merrifield, falls church or annandale.
  10. We had a fantastic meal at villa mozart after finding out about it on this thread, thanks! Favorites i don't think were mentioned: Green Pig Sea Pearl
