Heather Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Dude: where were you in '92? If you say "not born yet" I will come through the screen and slap you. I still see tags on the east side of the red line. My favorite was in the 15 Minutes Club.Kids these days -- I no longer go to restaurants that don't have an owner-authored child-rearing manifesto (manifestos are very TP, no?) on each table and find my dining pleasure much enhanced.Some of us don't need owner-authored manifestos, thankyouverymuch, but manifestos are very Tk Pk. I look forward to reading this one.I drove by today and it didn't look like anything was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Dance Party references Disco Dan, not vice versa. Ahh. And I was in elementary school in '92 and in Rhode Island to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPW Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Lovely meal last night before heading over to see Bottle Shock. Started with a yummy chicken liver pate and followed it up with the whole roasted rockfish - simple and very tasty. Sides were braised wild greens, mac/cheese and grilled corn on the cob - all were quite good with the corn being particularly flavorful. Drank the 2006 David Noyes Pinot, which I'd never heard of - well priced and quite delicious. The space is really very beautiful and an incredibly welcome addition to the Bethesda dining scene. Bravo Eli and Jared!So, how was the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmboy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 So, how was the movie? Slow at times but I liked it and the hottie (Aussie Rachael Hunter) who plays "Sam" is alone worth the price of admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 While picking up some take-out from Madras Palace in Gaitherburg, Gubeen noticed that Saagar is having its grand opening tonight, replacing Bombay Dhaba in the shopping center that faces Rt 124. Their otherwise content-free website indicates that the opening will be in the form of a free dinner buffet from 6:30 to 10pm. We'll probably stop by to check it out...does anybody know anything about Chef Shekhar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillvalley Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Al-it seems only appropriate that you tell us what you are up to tonight. Oh wait-now you're married. Never mind If you think about it, especially after a drink or two, if Al hadn't started On A Whim on eG who knows if we would have needed our own playground which led to the creation of dr.com. Think about how much more productive we would all be at work. Or how thin we would be and how much more money we would have in our bank accounts. But the last five years wouldn't have been nearly as much fun or tasted as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Has it really been five years since Al & I went to Matchbox? Here's to you, Mr. Dente. I'm happy to have made your acquaintance. These boards have led to some fine friendships. Cheers, y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I forgot about the anniversary! Hmmm, what did I do last night-- chicken kabobs at home and The Wire on DVD. That thread did set off a whacky chain of events in a way. Heather and I sat at the bar at Matchbox, scarfed down some good pizza, drank a few beers (and maybe some shots of fruit infused vodka?) and then went to RFD for a nightcap(s). It was great meeting another like-minded eG'er. Many more of these meetings took place over the years including lunch with Stretch, Chinese with HillValley, a HUGE pig pickin on a tennis court in NC, Chinese New Year with the NY and NJ crowd in Jersey, various run-ins with DR himself (including a sordid evening at Palena ), a Minibar run with Vengroff, an even more sordid (for me anyway) evening at Marcel's with Wabeck and Slater, some vaguely-remembered evenings at BdC, and others too numerous to mention. I used to get around back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericandblueboy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Definitely under the weather but still had work to do all day. So I went to Banh Mi DC/Pho 75 this moring. At Banh Mi DC I picked up a combo sandwich, 2 spring rolls, 1 chicken filled pastry and 1 pork filled pastry. Then I walked over to Pho 75 for a bowl of brisket and well done flank pho. I ate two spring rolls before the pho even came out, then I slurped down a bowl of pho. Thus fortified, I went home to work. Right after noon, I ate the sandwich. Not very good (not enough pate but nice pickled veggies). For dinner I had the pastries. They're kind of like croissant pasties. I'm still stuffed but not feeling much better though.
