Lobster ragout – Table

Lobster ragout - Table
Fingerling potatoes, onion, bisque sauce. $31
Table, Washington DC

Yay for lobster! This was delicious and beautifully cooked. Some people hate having to extract their seafood from shells, but I think it’s part of the experience and actually very fun. The lobster bisque sauce was super yummy and I thought the plating was simple and classy.

Alla Romana pizza – Etto

Alla Romana pizza - Etto
Capers, olives, onion, anchovy, mozzarella. $17
Etto, Washington DC

Mmm, this was delicious! I usually don’t like a lot of char on my pizza crusts, but this wasn’t bitter in the least. The toppings were also wonderful and tasted great. It must be good if I can eat the entire pizza by myself in one sitting. Perfect!

Chili cheese fries – Red Devon Grill

Chili cheese fries - Red Devon Grill
French fries topped with chili and nacho cheese. $5.50
Red Devon Grill, Mount Vernon VA

Omg, there were the perfect chili cheese fries! They were drenched in the nuclear yellow nacho sauce and a healthy helping of chili. It made me sick and I couldn’t begin to finish them (which means that they were made just right, lol)! Gotta appreciate horrible American junk food. 🙂
