the food. I want someone to jump in here, because there’s the off chance that I was hallucinating... We ordered a sausage pan pie. What we received was beyond the pale. Imagine, if you will, a pie with an intermediate layer...

around hoping to find something locally interesting. Not finding anything, we parked to stop in a little coffee shop on the main strip – getting out of the car, I noticed folks parked next to us heading up the street &...

I had a couple great aunts who used to bring their own tea bags. I think it’s terribly rude. The purpose of a restaurant is to make money by providing food and drink services. By bringing your own tea, you are taking away...

perspective on Cold Stone. Although, I hope the original poster does ask about other ice cream options on another board. As silly as this might sound, in one sense, Cold Stone does promote a sense of seeking out better food and...

that they’re closed, now, but then FoodJunkie said that he saw them open just a week or two ago. I haven’t been by in about two weeks, but the last time I looked they were closed on a normally busy lunchtime and their...

. Also, I find Panjshir in Falls Church a poor substitute. All the vegetables are mushy sweet. I have yet to try Faryab in Bethesda, Bamiyan in Herndon, or the Helmand in Baltimore, but until I do, I’m afraid the local...

If you get a zojirushi you can also cook other things in it!! oatmeal, etc. - and there’s a timer for when you want the food finished that’s really convenient. i love the no-brainer element too. but i had other...

It could have been the lambrusco. We tried a bottle of it last week because it was featured in a recent review of Delfina. It was bubbly and fruity but fairly dry and we thought it went great with our food (which we loved). The...

I’m not absolutely certain, but I don’t think that there is such a thing as “Chinese ramen” in the sense that you could go to a Chinese restaurant and find a dish called ramen on the menu. Ramen (not the...

pile of lettuce leaves for wrapping. By this point in the meal I had accumulated a big pile of spent paper napkins from all these eaten out of hand dishes and wiping drips off the table. I was getting a little tired of having to...

How did everyone’s Valentine’s dinners/desserts turn out? Would love to hear about what worked, didn’t work, etc. Our plans to go out had to be postponed due to getting some painful canker sores...no point in...

I think we should all be aware that when these low cost chains run their “specials,” as customers, we are not getting streamlined wait service and should tip on service, not a % of the check. I mean, today in the...

I don’t think I do have any recipes, but I just got an ice cream recipe book through inter-library loan (there’s somebody in western MD wondering why they can’t check this book out of their local...

Just wanted to chime in here—got a durian shake from my local vietnamese place and it was disgusting in smell and nothing much to speak of in the taste department. smell and taste are so linked i found it very difficult to...

there frequently and have eaten dinner there many times (I used to live a few blocks away also). It called “Salute”, Italian – quite good and draws a large business crowd. Funny thing is when it first opened a...
