The washingtonpost.com comments section is filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents, fools, and idiots. You have those who spend two hours writing "clever" limericks which might be at home in a weekly limerick competition. Intelligent people, but intelligence flushed down a black hole. You have those who think logical discourse will work, and that people will remember what they type five minutes after they type it. Logical, well-informed people, whose arguments are largely gone forever, yet who somehow think they influenced the world. Ugh, this is as painful as anything.

Does anyone have the faintest idea what he's doing with this list? Surely he doesn't mean Ten Best, or even his Ten Favorites. At first I thought it was something like his top 10 most exciting openings of 2018, but nope, not that either. I'm a bit confused, not that it much matters. As for their merits, the only one from ##3-10 at which I had a great meal this year was Spoken English, FWIW. (My most recent meal at Hitmitsu was good, not great, and not quite worth the $$. But I've been wowed there in the past.) I haven't been to Three Blacksmiths or Centrolina. -
"Tom Sietsema Reviewed Eight DC-Area Caterers For Your Next Fancy Dinner Party" by Tom Sietsema on washingtonpost.com I enjoyed this feature in WaPo's magazine, although I agreed w/ the comment after the article that catered dinner for 8 is probably not a true test for a caterer, rather it's how well they can execute larger events. It's a nice fantasy piece, though, since not many people would spend 1K$ for a catered meal at home, most would probably host at a restaurant.- 2 replies

This article is so incoherent in its criticism that it doesn't warrant a coherent response...but I'll waste 2 minutes on one anyway. Let's start here: Just to make it tough, I'll stick to an area 1 square mile from my house in NE DC. Charcuterie: Red Apron Coffee: Peregrine, Sidamo, Vigilante (hopefully coming soon) Bread: Lyon Bakery, Batter Bowl Bakery, Frenchies Cheese: Righteous Cheese, Cowgirl Creamery (1.9 miles from my house...the horror!!!) Ice Cream: Pitango Gelato, Dolcezza, Trickling Springs Creamery Produce: Almaala Farms, Eastern Shore Organic, H St. Farmer's Market, Joi- 42 replies

Nevin Martell wrote an interesting article as the cover story of today's Washington Post Food Section. Having raised an adventurous eater, I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this piece, but it's not the piece itself I want to comment on - it's the fundamental tenet behind the piece. This sentence, in this forum, is going to be like Daniel in the Lion's Den screaming out, "Hey lions! I bet you can't hurt me!" as he pokes them with a stick. Nevertheless, here goes: "What's so great about being an adventurous eater?" The benefits of maintaining an open-mind on life in general are obv- 5 replies

I thought this was a good article in today's paper-http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bethany-beach-rolls-out-the-red-carpet-for-military-families/2013/09/05/2cecbab6-1648-11e3-be6e-dc6ae8a5b3a8_story.html# We're a military family, & I realize we're lucky & haven't had any major crisis, aside from numerous deployments. This story really brought it home to me, how many families are dealing w/ problems that although they signed up for service, they may not have realized they'd be facing...this story almost restores my faith in people.
