Breast and wing. 2 piece (white) $6
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, Washington DC
This chicken was pretty tasty. The large breast was a bit dry in parts, but I really liked the flavor of the coating and it was fried relatively well. It was a little greasy, but not overly so.
Modern sculpture, G St & 9th St.
2 eggs, 2 slices smoked turkey, feta cheese. $7.45
Point Chaud Cafe & Crepes, Washington DC
The filling of this crepe was kinda dry and the ingredients didn’t taste of good quality. I liked the crepe itself though.
National World War II Memorial, “California”.
8 oz. $5.25
Hill Country Barbecue, Washington DC
Omg, this was the cheesiest, most oozy, rich and delicious mac and cheese I’ve had in a long time! I almost want to say that it was TOO rich to finish but it tasted so good that I couldn’t stop myself. I mean, the cheese was still molten even after walking back to the office – good lord! And this is why I work out, people! LOL
Washington Monument.
Lamb and seasoned rice, gyro meat, chicken curry. $8.95
Afghan Kabob House, Arlington VA
This was pretty good. The gyro meat was too dry for my taste but maybe some people like it like that. I thought the lamb and chicken were tasty though.
Courthouse Metro escalator.
Veal, Paris mushrooms, pearl onions, steamed potatoes. $28
Monsieur Benjamin, San Francisco CA
This dish lacked the warmth and comfort that comes with good French food. Don’t get me wrong, it tasted fine, it was beautifully plated, and the technique was there but it didn’t draw any emotion from my while I ate. Sad…
Driving on the 101.
8 oz. $3.75
Hill Country Barbecue, Washington DC
It’s not often that you find a yummy cucumber salad for lunch takeaway. This had a great balance of sweet and vinegar. Mmm…
US Department of The Treasury.
Belgian waffle, buttered pecans, maple-chicken jus. $15
ChurchKey, Washington DC
This was pretty good even though the fried chicken weren’t whole pieces complete with bones. They were still very flavorful, tender, and fried well. The waffle was tasty too and the buttered pecans were a great addition.
Lincoln Memorial.
Lunch combo with Indian butter chicken, chana masala, and salad. $8.59
Nook, Washington DC
I liked the flavors of the chicken makhani, and I liked that they used chicken thighs. They have so much more flavor than breasts. The garbanzo beans were also tasty too, and I opted for the spinach salad to fool myself that I was eating an entirely healthy meal. 🙂
Spinach salad.
Ronald Reagan Building atrium.
Egg yolk, pissaladiere lavash. $16.50
Monsieur Benjamin, San Francisco CA
This dish was good, but lifeless. I liked the lavash bread. It was super thin and crispy and it had a flavor and texture that I haven’t had with lavash bread. It was new and interesting. I also like the treatment of the yolk in the tartare. They were fun and novel, but the dish fell flat overall. It was trying to be too fancy and it lost its soul.
Bernal Heights Park.
Dynamite: tempura calamari, spicy scallop, spicy lump crab, habanero tobiko, soy bean paper. Happy hour $7
Spider: tempura soft shell crab, spicy napa cabbage, asparagus, habanero tobiko. Happy hour $6
The Hamilton, Washington DC
Thank goodness The Hamilton was able to restore my confidence in DC’s ability to serve sushi worth eating after my horrible experience at Asia Nine! These rolls were fun and delicious, and you can’t beat their happy hour prices!
Dancing Manhattan: Dancing Pines bourbon, Dolin Vermouth Rouge, splash of Angostura bitters, bourbon soaked cherry. $13
The Concert For Valor. We couldn’t get very close to the stage, but there were screens everywhere and everyone had a great time!
California roll, baked salmon roll, nigiri of tuna, salmon, yellow tail, eel, and shrimp. Served with house salad and miso soup. $16
Asia Nine, Washington DC
This sushi was GROSS! The nigiri were dry and definitely NOT fresh. The sushi rice on the rolls were also dry and flavorless. At least you could hide the horribleness with the baked salmon roll since it was hot. This was my first experience with sushi in DC and it traumatized me! And the service and food timing was horrible. One guy didn’t receive his roll until we got our check. Really, that’s acceptable service?!
House salad and miso soup.
Federal Triangle Flowers, Stephen Robin.
White wine and garlic broth. $11.50
Logan Tavern, Washington DC
These mussels were a mess! They were gritty and the actual mussel flesh were SO tiny. The herbs and other ingredients were also too large to navigate through to easily eat anything. And the broth was bland and boring.
Watermelon Basil Slush: shaved ice, vodka, watermelon, basil, sparkling wine. $8
Sweet but not very refreshing. Definitely not worth the calories.
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Best part of this meal! That’s sad…
