porcupine Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Not to mention 'where'! Anybody have any candidates to put forth? How about Jan 10 at Dino? Dean has made a very nice offer of giving us the early-bird menu at $20/person, and at any time of the evening if we want to go on a Tuesday. I haven't said anything yet because I'm not free 'til the 10th. If you're interested, stay tuned; I'll make another announcement on this thread sometime early in the new year. Notes and disclaimers: the $20 early bird menu will not include drinks, tax and tip; check out http://dino-dc.com/menu/dino_sera.pdf for the menu. This will be an informal event in the spirit of $20 Tuesdays, open to all, no preregistration required and no prepayment accepted. Dean has asked, however, that if we accept this offer we give him a preliminary headcount one day in advance so the kitchen doesn't get slammed (a very reasonable request). The restaurant can accomodate 20 in the private dining room upstairs (if I understood Dean's message correctly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Gastreaux Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It was a good dinner at Bombay Curry Company yesterday evening. Just the three of us, mdt, crackers and I. We started off with Bhel Puri, which is a spicey cold dish of puffed rice, spices with mint chutney and Shammi Kabab which are little spiced ground beef and lentil patties with a yogurt sauce. Both were really good. crackers had the vegetarian thali which is a combination of salad, two vegetables of the day, lentils, cucumber raita, rice, and Naan. Looked good, we'll have to wait for crackers to chime in with her impression. mdt had the rogan josh which is a traditional lamb curry. I tasted a bit and it was really good ( a few pieces of gristle in the meat though) I had the butter chicken which is chunks of tandoori chicken in a curried tomato sauce. The pieces of chicken were all white meat and the curry sauce was excellent. For sides, we had an order of the kadai chole, hot and spicy chick peas in tomato sauce and the saag paneer which is curried spinach with Indian cottage cheese. With a half dozen Kingfishers thrown in, the tab came to about $30/each. I wish would could get more attendance at these Tuesday/Thursday things. TemptAsian would be a great venue for one because it is very difficult to spend more than about $15/each as they have no beer or wine to ruin the budget.

jm chen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I wish would could get more attendance at these Tuesday/Thursday things. Have something conveniently located on the Red Line in DC and I'll be there. Well, I did miss El Chalan, but barring any unexpected schedule shifts, that won't repeat. I do want to explore the cheaper side of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing crawled off the plate. Hint: if you don't want to share your meal with mdt or JG, be sure to order the vegetarian combo - they won't even look at it, much less ask for a taste.
