How does 7 pm sound??

I am flexible as well

7 works for me.

I might bring the "food disposal units". I warned them that they would have to eat what was ordered, rather than something they picked out, and both are making noises about being up for it. We shall see...

I'm still up in the air but the winds are blowing in that direction. If I can't make it, I'll call synaesthesia. Otherwise: If I'm not there by 7, I should arrive shortly; I have an errand to run and don't know how long it will take.

I'm a maybe; can't commit 'til Thursday morning.
So for Bob's Shabu Shabu on Thursday, May 31 we so far have

You know what’s missing from this thread? A compendium of $20 Tuesday restaurants. I’ve scanned through pages 17-37; however, I initially focused on $20 Tuesdays that I attended... I’ve overlooked several places.

Here’s my list, arranged by state. I’ve listed the restaurant, cuisine, address and phone number.

DC

Dino, Rustic Italian, 3435 Connecticut Avenue NW, Cleveland Park, 202-686-2966

Hitching Post, American classics and soul food, 200 Upshur St. NW, 202-726-1511

Spices, Asian Fusion, 3333A Connecticut Avenue, NW, Cleveland Park, 202-686-3833

Oohs and Aahs, soul food, 1005 U St. NW, U Street Corridor, 202-667-7142

Etete, Ethiopian, 1942 9th Street NW, U Street Corridor, 202-232-7600

Birreria Paradiso,??, 3282 M Street NW, Georgetown, 202-337-1245

[i'll post MD and VA later this week.]

Help me fill in the blanks. PM me with any additions or corrections; it will be much easier to have edits collected in one place. I’ll then update the list, post it, and update it every four-six weeks.

New $20 Dollar Tuesday Post: JOE"S NOODLE HOUSE on TUESDAY AUGUST 21st

In case it is not "hot" enough for you...or the summer has you "numb" with the heat, it's time for a DR get together! I am organizing a summer return to Joe's Noodle House on Tuesday August 21st at 7 PM. Joe's has a amazing array of both spicy and non spicy dishes. The best way to experience the food is with a large group so that everyone can share!

Joe's is about 4 blocks from the Twinbrook metro. The station is on Chapman between Bouic and Halpine. Exit on the West side of the station, and turn North on Chapman. Make a left on Halpine, go 1 block to a right on Rockville Pike, and walk 2.5 blocks to Joe's on the right. Joe's is in the same shopping center as On the Border, in the back around the corner (facing North).

I can pick up and return a group to the metro station.

Please PM or leave a post if you would like to come. I will make a reservation and as always please bring cash!

UPCOMING $20 TUESDAYS:

Anyone who wants to join is always welcome! Post here or PM me for updates.

After a quiet summer, event-wise, Labor Day approaches, and it's time to start up the $20 Tuesday thread again! We have one on the docket so far, but looking in the archives, in the Spring we cancelled 3 events that need owners to restart: Tiffin, Addis Ababa, and Da Rae Won. Any volunteers? All you need to do is propose a date, and (if necessary) make a reservation. The topic (and my mailbox) take care of the rest!

Joe's Noodle House, Rockville, Tuesday August 21st, 7pm

Home of "extra spicy" AND "numbing". Bring on the endorphins!

I'm not sure if I can go. It's planning too far ahead, but might I suggest a Lighthouse Tofu smackdown the same night with a visit to the one in Rockville? Annandale is SO far.

I'm with you Jamie - it's way too far ahead for me to think about it yet, but I'd go to Rockville that night.

For those attending Joe's Noodle House on Tuesday the 21st (there is 7 of us as of today). I will pick up Metro Riders from the TWINBROOK metro station at 6:45 PM. I will be in a silver Hyundai Sonata outside in the pickup area. Joe's is only .8 mile away, an easy walk on what is supposed to be a nice day. Let me know if you want my cell phone (via PM) for additional coordination. The reservation at 7 PM is under the name of Scott.

See ya there!

EDITED to add TWINBROOK not White Flint

You sure you don't mean TWINBROOK Metro? Twinbrook is 0.5 miles from Joe's; White Flint is closer to 1.5 miles.

Eight of us journeyed to the burbs for a delightful dinner ($17 dollars each) at Joe's Noodle House. Thanks to all who attended!

A08 Cucumber Salad (really more like sweet pickles

A09 Spicy Sweet and Sour Cabbage (nice pickled cabbage)

A20 Jelly Fish Salad (very good, first time I have had this)

A28 Salt & Crispy Squid (very fresh and mild)

A41 Fried Baby Smelt & Peanuts (highly addictive)

W01 Wonton w/ Red Hot Sauce (2 orders crowd favorite)

A52 Szechuan Beef Jerky (not as hot as I have had before, but nevertheless nice)

MAIN COURSES

F22 Yu-Shiang Pork- Home Style

T20 Triple Pepper Chicken Dry Sautee (somewhat tame tonight)

F32 Spicy and Tasty Fried Tofu (hottest dish of the night)

H20 Fish Fillet & Soft Bean Curd in Szechuan Sauce (not as hot, according to others, very nice taste)

F26 Tender Shrimp Sautéed w/ Edamame Beans (somewhat overshadowed by the spicy dishes we ordered, I really like the subtle flavors of this dish)

H14 Tibetan Style Lamb w / Cumin (very good, a bit more moist then when i have ordered this in the past)

T21 Home Made Bacon with Leek (what is there not to like, this plate was almost liked clean)
