Spaceman Spiff Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I was at the Organic Butcher in McLean getting some burger meat a couple weeks ago and the guy asked me if I wanted a pound of 100% Kobe beef from Japan. I asked how much, he said 100 bucks. I just laughed. ...but I was secretly tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Awesome, love this thread already! I hope it doesn't just have to be the DMV area. Who knows you guys might end up on a business trip in Lexington someday and need a place to eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Skins Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Had the best key lime pie of my life the other day at a southern restaurant outside Boston in Somerville called Southern Kin. The main courses weren't that great but the desserts were all handmade pies that were all incredible http://southernkincookhouse.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of pastry, mustard, mushrooms, savory crepe and the actual beef, it's his signature dish for a very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Earlier this month i went to Toronto to visit / meet my in-laws. (I had met my mother in law, but no one else.) So, as I am gwai-lo, a week of authentic chinese food was something they all enjoyed watching me eat. Most of it was delicious,, some stuff, well, thanks anyway. My brother in law kept insisting that they order things i would eat.. figuring I would only eat meat. Took a while to convince him that I would eat what he ate,, and i think he definitely took me to the ends of some of these menus to see what sort of faces he could get out of me. But, his delight in watching me eat these things gave us a good point to become friends.. he's a good guy. This is me and the family enjoying dim sum for lunch But, the highlight of the week was a 16 lb lobster .. the restaurant brings this monster out and sets it on the turntable in the middle of the table, and everyone gets their pictures taken with it for some reason, then off it goes to the kitchen and in about 5 minutes they start hauling out dishes and laying them on the turntable.. they cook it six different ways and man, is it good. I'd recommend these places, but damn if i can pronounce any of them. Almost every restaurant we went into, i was the only gwai-lo. I did a lot of smiling and nodding and eating. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Had a pretty good lunch at The Carving Room in DC a couple of weeks back. They're at 300 Massachusetts Ave. NW, kind of stuck between Chinatown to the west and NOMA to the east, though there's lots of development happening in that area. I had a sandwich that was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives": Pastrami Poblano on Ciabatta: Crispy pastrami, oven roasted poblamo pepper, provolone, fried egg, chipotle mayo and cilantro on a fresh ciabatta bun. The thought of a fried egg on a sandwich or burger never really appealed to me. But it really worked on this sandwich - the warm yolk counterbalanced the pep of the poblano pepper and chipotle mayo. The pastrami was just right. They had a decent list of locally brewed beers on tap, and their burgers looked really good. As appetizers, they do "cigars." They take thin spring roll wrappers, fill them with chorizo or spiced beef, roll them into cigar shape, lightly fry them, then serve them with dipping sauces. http://carvingroom.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Bang I hope you got to try other places in Toronto as well. It has some of the best rearauraunts I have ever eaten at in any city. One of my favorite places to eat since I moved here are the Tibetan and Nepalese restaurants. I always get Momos with a cup of Butter Milk Tea: Momos are steamed or fried dumplings, stuffed with meat and onions, served with a vinegar based hot sauce. Paired with Butter Milk Tea, which is salty but milky in taste, it is a great meal in the cold weather up here. 1 hour ago, Dan T. said: Had a pretty good lunch at The Carving Room in DC a couple of weeks back.

I used to live right down the block. Their Honey Harissa wings are amazing. A bit pricey but totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like good food and to share the experience with others. I've thought about blogging (cigars, food) but can't figure out how to monetize it, and I don't have time to be a hobbiest blogger. As for the foie gras, that was my first time...but wow was it amazing, like a rich, meaty butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, if I'm shelling out money for anything CLOSE to that, it better be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
