JPW Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Bronxville, NY: You guys did a wonderful job highlighting eateries in New York City. Now where can a tourist get the best eats in Washington DC? Tom Sietsema: It all depends on what you're looking for. Give me some perimeters. One perimeter is the ring road around Atlanta. Sorry, just feeling goofy today.

Kanishka Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm so glad Tom kind of lost his cool and pointed people towards his postcards. I was really getting sick of the "well if you'd just read my postcard from... " refrain. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMark Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Mark, posting to the Tom chat again? Sommelier is Superb: I know you're totally on board about the sommelier at Citronelle, but i just wanted to share briefly. Everyone always seems to complain about service there. And although the waiters can be a bit crusty, we were there a few weeks ago, drinking not particularly expensive wine. The sommelier really made our meal fun and memorable. He visited several times (it WAS saturday night) and ended up making menu suggestions, even brought out our cheese plate to us with a special addition. Awesome time - due mainly to him Tom Sietsema: You hear that, Mr. Slater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Washington, DC: Hi Tom!; PLEASE AT LEAST ANSWER QUESTION 1!; We're leaving for Ocho Rios in 3 days and we're trying to find out the "must not miss" dining experiences you or the chatters have had. I did my homework and didn't see any postcards, so PLEASE POST THIS!; Second, does DC have any 'raw food' scene? A friend who's coming to town is interested in trying this together. Thank you VERY much!;" Ya mon, go to Jamaica and maybe ya find a little mellow, now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monavano Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'd like to say "thanks" for a great chat today. Tom's comments were expanded, informative and fun. The kvetching was markedly lessened while the really useful information was flowing. It inspired me to get out of my own kitchen and try some of the restaurants discussed today.

My immediate -- and snarky -- reaction to that question: Go outside the beltway... you can find Horn & Horns, Old Country Buffets, and Cracker Barrels aplenty if you look hard enough.

Wow. (Plump Her? Hardly know her..) Do you think what the poster was looking for was a recommendation of places with chairs that can accommodate a tarmac-sized badonkadonk? That's actually a somewhat fair question because many places I know, especially bistro-style, are definitely designed for a (American) standard-issue bottom. But then again standard-issue size people are more comfortable everywhere. And I say this having just gotten off a transatlantic flight, mind ya.

MelGold Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'll admit it...the question made me think twice or three times. "What's a plumper?" Couldn't REALLY mean what I thought it meant, could it?! Perhaps someone should open a restaurant with troughs instead of plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banco Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Perhaps someone should open a restaurant with troughs instead of plates. "Saturday Night Live" did a skit on that topic years ago: "The Trough and Brew." Every hour or so it would close for a "15-minute hosedown." Given the direction some of these TGIF-like places are going, it's only a matter of time before life begins to imitate art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Rocks, not again: Washington, DC: Good Morning Tom, Wine tasters often carry their own spitoons into wineries in order to avoid becoming intoxicated while tasting through a producer's portfolio. Have you ever thought of doing a similar thing in restaurants to keep your weight in check? DR Tom Sietsema: Haven't you seen my little black tote?
