DanielK Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Time? Shall we say 12:15 so Dan can get there after his meeting? Go ahead and do noon. I'm less than 10 minutes away, so even if I'm a few minutes late, you can save me a seat and order. I have to be on the road NLT 1:15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I am doubtful for this week as I am in the middle of Budgets! OK - so let's do this Thursday. At this point, I believe we have DanielK, JPW, Porcupine, Al Dente, eroica38, bookluvingbabe, and deangold. I'm assuming that Rachel is out this time around given the week long class. I'll try to get there reasonably early to secure a table and ensure that Porcupine and I have a sufficient quantity of jerky to sustain us.

deangold Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Whoo-hoo! so that'll be, what, three orders? Is that for you alone or you and Amit?= both. What about the rest of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookluvingbabe Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Half day of school on Thursday and I need to pick up the little guy at 12:15. Next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcanuck Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I figure that three orders will be enough for Porcupine and I. Plus maybe an extra take out order for munching on at home. So we'll meet at noon tomorrow. Daniel - let us know if there's anything you want us to order before you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrik Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 May I take Al Dente's place? My brain is foggy, and a little Sichuan food is necessary to clear things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcanuck Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 May I take Al Dente's place? My brain is foggy, and a little Sichuan food is necessary to clear things up. Absolutely!! The more the merrier! +1, not mrP, if that's ok. Amit, better get us a big table... Of course that's OK. However, I don't think a bigger table is going to be necessary. Someone scheduled me for a meeting from 11:45-12:30 today and I can't get out of it. So right now, we have: porcupine +1 perrik DanielK deangold JPW eroica38 On for 12pm today. Sorry about bailing at the last minute. I'll see some of you later tonite at DCCK. Definitely will NOT miss that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Wow, they were certainly on today. We started with stuff that was hot, and went all the way through really REALLY f*cking hot. When I ordered, and she recognized me, and said "ma la?", she really took my "Yes!" to heart. But, most importantly, we worked our way through 4 apps and 3 mains, and while all of them had heat to some degree, they came with 7 completely different flavor profiles. Whoever was at the wok today deserves a medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I had basically taken Joe's out of the rotation following a few meals of indifferent food and indifferent service. But today's lunch mark Joe's return to top form. I don't recall a better meal there and the service was really friendly and good. The spicy and tasty tofu was especially good as were the spicy radish and spicy tofu small plates. The dry Sichuan spicy beef was very crispy and flavorful and incendiary hot.

deangold Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 This is a strong statement coming from you. Is this the best Szechuan meal you've had in the area? I would put it up with the best meals I have had a Sichuan Pavillion but in a different mode. The food at Joe's has a strong comfort food mode while the food at SP is more subtle and refined {or as subtle and refined as a meal as incendiary hot as SP and, today, Joe's can be}. Whereas the last year or so our Rockville chinese decision was always defined as SP or A&J, not the question is going to have three answers. Today was just one data point, but it was strong enough to the good to change my rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
