Who's singing the Frozen song?
I refuse to see that movie.
you'd think I'd rather see a movie than actually be frozen. But no. I got frozen. My friend, Tori, heard me complaining about all my injuries (shit falls apart when you get older, y'all!), and offered to hook me up with a trial for Icebox Cryotherapy. Basically, they freeze you with gasified liquid nitrogen. It looked like I was standing in a cylinder of dry ice – but it's not as dangerous.
In Tori's words: "You know how when you bang your thumb, blood rushes to it and it gets really hot because your body is trying to fix it? Basically same body response when you do cryo. Your body thinks you're freezing to death, so it sends signals all over and sees what's 'broken' or hurt and focuses on it." Sounds great, right?! It really is great for recovery; in fact, many professional athletes have been using if for years!
Recovery aside, Cryotherapy has multiple other benefits:
- Increased circulation
- Reduction in pain & inflammation
- Assists in a quicker surgical recovery
- Aids in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis and osteoarthritis
- Boost immune system
- Decreased fatigue
- Tighter skin (cellulite, say what?!)
- Increased libido (woot!)
- Weight loss assistance
So was it that bad? It was 3 minutes at negative 130 degrees Celsius (-266 Fahrenheit). It wasn't a cake walk… but honestly, I didn't ever think I'd never make it out alive. I had gloves and booties on (I have Raynaud's, which the owner made sure she looked out for). The parts that hurt the worst were my legs (which are sore and injured) and my nipples (apparently common), but I recovered right after. Your core temp doesn't actually change, so you don't freeze to death.
After wards, my body felt SO relaxed, I slept like a little baby that night, and hit a couple PRs in the gym the next day. I'd like to do it a few more times for my injuries, but it definitely helped with the general soreness and recovery! If you're in Atlanta or have a facility in your city, I definitely recommend it!

I did run into two situations were I wasn't able to get the menus to appear the way I needed. So I made a few changes to the code.Maybe other's would benifit.
The first was I couldn't get the images in a horizontal menu to be flush against each other. To fix it I removed the space in line 380 of legacy.php I changed cellspacing from 1 to 0.
The second problem was the vertical legacy menu inserted the menu text link under the image. To fix it on line 144 of helper.php I changed mosShowVIMenu to mosShowVIMenuMMI.

Restaurants Everyone Loves Except You
Well Washington/ Baltimore lets join Philly, Boston and MSP in copying the Manhattan topic for our restaurant scene. Mine I must sadly say is The Helmand which has deteriorated after many years of enjoying the wonderful Afghan food. But do not despair it has been replaced by Ayubi in Glen Burnie which for a much lower price delivers true to Afghan taste, flavorful dishes.
re: poochiechow
I don't think it's a case of bad luck - I've been to all three locations and the food has never wow'd me. Mine would be Grace's Mandarian at the National Harbor. Everyone raved about the food before I visited - SUPREMELY disappointed. The ambiance was nice, but the food did not live up to everyone's reviews.
re: poochiechow
I have had good luck at Busboys and Poets with entree salads. Nothing super creative, but nice when you want that sort of thing. But I have never had anything else.
Mine would be 2941, the food is good, but really hasn't wowed me, especially for the price. I just don't love the new chef. But other people seem to think its just amazing.
re: ktmoomau
I thought the same thing about 2941. It's a beautiful restaurant but I wasn't impressed, even with the bread which they're so well known for. I thought it was okay, but not worth the money, and expected so much more.
re: chowser
As a note I am talking about the current chef, I didn't eat there under Krinn, and loved loved Scott Bryan. I think the bread was noted mostly under the Krinn era.
re: ktmoomau
I heard the recipes and techniques were passed on and reviews I've read have said they were just as good. I haven't eaten there under the old chef, only under the new.
re: chowser
Yeah, I didn't think the bread was incredible, I just assumed they weren't getting the same bread. I wish Scott Bryan (the temp chef in between) would have stayed there, he was great. Why oh why did he have to go back to New York.
I was at Aybui Kabob about two weeks ago, noted how similar the menu was to the Helmand, mentioned that it seemed similar to nice guy behind counter, and was told that they have one of their old cooks. I meant to write a review: I though the kabobs were sort of meh, but Afghan dishes were solid. Must check it out again.
There are several places on my list, however my most recent disappointment, despite the raves, is Mi Viejo Pueblito.
re: baltoellen
Ooh, Mi Viejo Pueblito is on my short list to visit. What was off about it?
re: Dennis S
blue duck tavern
re: Dennis S
By all means: Go! I don't remember what was off since I honestly do not remember my meal. I just remember a general meh feeling, and thinking that it was a lot of food for a good price. MVP and baltoellen may just not be a match. These things happen.
re: baltoellen
Please be specific. I have found the antojitos to be uniformly excellent, which of MVP's antojitos mexicanos disappointed you, in what ways, and which local Mexican restaurants offer better antojitos. My experience is that the antojitos mexicanos are better than any restaurant in metro Balt-Wash, and I will reiterate that I find them superior to those at Dona Raquel in south Florida as they offer a much wider antojito variety. The salsa at MVP are the best I have tasted locally, DR's in spFla may get the nod on their avocado verde but MVP's red chipotle is very similar to DR. I have had chicken quarters both con mole poblano as well as salsa verde, and both are the best. I don't recall that DR even offers pollo con mole poblano. My sole disappointment there has been that they didn't sauce the chile relleno, so they aren't perfect ion my book and I would that they sauce their chiles rellenos.
re: elgringoviejo
I asked for their other salsas, was given a slightly confused look and was never given anything else. I would have asked again, but didn't see the waitress for the next 20 minutes.
The sopes were good, but served along with the enormous entrees, so the onslaught of food (albeit a good one) was a little too much to handle.
The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, but not very good at all aside from that. Anyone else have a bad service experience? If not, have you been speaking Spanish?
re: gregb
Tal vez sea una ventaja a hablar Espanol y no cabe duda que yo lo hablo alla.
The proprietors have done a done job IMO recreating a typical Poblana-style fonda along the lines of Puebla's Fonda de Santa Clara. The senora of the restaurant bends over backwards to assist English-speaking patrons but as MVP has gotten busier she has had to spend more time in the kitchen. The servers are doing their level best to serve English-speaking patrons, and I would urge patrons to bear with them. The best way to enjoy MVP's salsa is to order different antojitos. My experience in the Republic is that salsas are usually paired with dishes, and MVP is accustomed to operating in this fashion. One Antojito that I almost always order there isa memela bandera, a maize-based antojito served with red and green salsas as well as sour cream, hence the term bandera (flag) which represents the Republic's national colors. , and which costs a mere two dollars and fifty cents or so. MVP serves a wide and delicious array of food, with antojitos mexicanos the equal of any I have been served in the USA, and a waitstaff that striving hard to meet its customers' needs.
re: Transplanted Texan
Have you had the hanger steak at Rays? I think it's the best in town.
re: Elyssa
Hanger steak, in my opinion, is overrated. For whatever reason these days, people seem to be on the hangar steak bandwagon, but it's just a tough piece of meat with very little fat. Yes, it has a more "beefy" taste than other cuts, but I feel like this obsession with hangar steak in general is overdone.
(and yes ive had it at Ray's)
my $0.02
re: MarcDC
"Hanger steak" my eye. It's another way of getting the food snobs to eat cheap tough meat.
I do like Rays other food though, and also the Inn, though completely different approaches.
re: a1234
That's been happening for centuries though. Look at offal....it's the odds and ends of an animal. When cooked right those "cheap cuts of meat" are sometimes the best around---it's actually an art form. I don't think it has anything to do with food snobs. In fact turning your nose up to a tougher, cheaper cut of meats is kind of the definition of snobbish.
re: Elyssa
yeah! My mom can turn the best cut of beef into shoe leather. if someone can take an unloved piece and treat it with care - I'm all over that.
re: MarcDC
I don't know if it's a bandwagon, as much of a personal taste. Some people want a filet because they don't want to give their jaw too much of a work out and want a soft piece of meat. Other's like a tougher, more meaty steak...therefore the hanger steak is perfect.
I personally prefer both---I just love a good piece of steak.
I like the hanger because as you said it tends to have a beefier taste. But also when cooked right (like at Ray's) it's a thing of pure beauty---juicy, meaty, tender in certain spots. Delicious! Mix that with the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes it's the world's perfect meal.
re: MarcDC
If it's overcooked then it's tough, but done right (rare to med-rare) it's actually very tender and flavorful.
re: Transplanted Texan
Exactly. You can have a flavorful tender cut or a flavorful tough cut. If you only wanted flavor, you could chew on a bone. Save tough meat for the dog, who will appreciate it more.
re: a1234
I never thought of it that way, in my experience you could have lots of flavor with a slightly tougher, slightly fattier cut, or you could have tender cuts of slightly less flavorful lean beef, but you can't have both. That is why some people like ribeye and hangar steaks for the flavor and others like filet mignon for the tenderness. My grandfather was a cattleman and he said this is why filets generally are dressed up with flavorful sauces or wrapped in bacon to prepare. The filets/tenderloins are short on fatty flavor and need a little extra help to excel.
I have never spent a lot of time thinking about it, or researching it, tho, so I will welcome others thoughts on this.
re: monkeyrotica
monkey: if you're ever in SF there's a place that usu. has Os a Moelle on the appetizer menu - nice grilled chunks served on large croutons. wow.
re: Transplanted Texan
I feel like I am taking my life in my hands saying this - as I have pointed it out before and received some spirited commentary - Rays the Steaks is mediocre
re: Fracis
Interesting. I would say that Rays serves a rather good steak at a very good price in an expensive neighborhood. And the sides are pretty good too. And occasionally Rays will serve a steak that is very good. I like it better than Ruths or Mortons and when you look at the whole transaction, Rays looks pretty darned good. It is easy to sneer at Rays but the reason Rays is so popular is that they do a steak better than most places do, and at a better price.
re: Fracis
Doing a steak well isn't rocket science- get a fresh, good cut of meat from a decent butcher (or have someone in house who knows how to carve a cow); a hot oven that you can control the heat and a few common spices and a chef that knows when a steak is done and that is it. That takes me to my issue with Ray's, and that is that Landrum has a different definition of doneness than the rest of the world. Yea, I know like getting your hair cut it it is easier to keep it longer (rarer steaks) than to cut it too short (overcook) but come on- medium rare is medium rare (pink in the middle but done all the way through) not a bloody, tough mess of a rare steak.
re: ClevelandDave
Ray's menu goes to great lengths to explain EXACTLY how they cook steaks. If you're not happy with the doneness, order according to the terms clearly outlined by Ray's.
I just don't get this arguement.
re: monavano
Because it is confusing. The world has one standard, Rays has another. So if you always order something medium, and you get rare, you are upset. If you order according to the chart you might feel you won't be getting what you want.
I just don't get why Ray's doesn't just do what their customers want within reason (and this seems reasonable).
re: ClevelandDave
But it's totally within your power to order to your liking. The last time I went, my DH and I took his parents. His dad is very predictable with steak-he likes filet mignon, medium. NOT med rare-medium.
We looked at the menu and spoke with our server to communicate his desires, and he was extremely pleased.
I understand your wish to have standardized language, but unless you're from out of town, or never read about Ray's, you know how they roll.
re: monavano
Well, no you really wouldn't unless you were a regular, IMHO. It just seems uncharictaristically arrogant to go out of your way not to meet your customer's expectations, whatever they are.
re: ClevelandDave
Have you discussed or attempted to discuss with with the owner, Michael Landrum? Or, have you discussed this with a manager to give your input?
Where you aware of the way steaks are cooked at Ray's before you went?
Arrogant? Never a word I'd associate with any Ray's establishment.
re: ClevelandDave
ClevelandDave, I feel your pain, but you are wrong. Medium Rare has never been pink, it has always been red in the middle. If you want Rays to make you a steak that is pink in the middle, order it "pink in the middle" or Medium, but don't say Medium Rare because that means Red, but warm, in the middle.
To quote you, "but come on- medium rare is medium rare (pink in the middle but done all the way through", again, medium rare is not pink, and it is most definitely not done all the way through.
re: Ziv
With all due respect, while there are many more experienced people on this board, in virtually all my experience in going to steakhouses and preparing them myself for others, Ray's is out of the norm, and medium rare is pink with a slight hint of red in the middle. See: http://bbq.about.com/od/steaks/ss/aa1....
Even if you don't accept that, Ray's is being stubborn (maybe arrogant isn't the right word), creates an unnecessary confusing situation, does not meet the expectations of clients and is doing something quite different than others. I rarely complain and it is very unusual for me to send a steak back. I've had to do that twice at Ray's, both for the same reason.
Doing something different than others is good when you are exceeding the expectations of your customers, but not when you aren't giving them what they expect.
By the way, I did mention it to the waiter and they said that is what our standard is. I'll have to remember that next time. My point is that I shouldn't have to.
re: ClevelandDave
Well, I'll argue that the text on that page is incorrect, since we quoted other pages that had a different description.
The PICTURE on that page, however, is correct. Notice it shows red all the way through.
re: Ziv
I'd also note this posting by a regular chowser (Ellen 4441). I happen to think that the burgers are a lot more closely done to what customers expectations are than the steaks, particularly the thicker cuts:
I visited DC from AC, and my burger was way undercooked, and I prefer a softer type roll......
For what it's worth ......
re: ClevelandDave
re: DanielK
Daniel, I think you nailed it, so I went to the default source for confirmation and even Wiki thinks medium-rare is warm, red center. But I have to admit that most experts don't use the old doneness description anymore, they use the temp instead.
re: DanielK
Ya these are much more the universal standards for steak that I use.
re: Elyssa
My universal standard is the question "What does medium mean here?" Then if it's not right, I can blame the waiter, not the kitchen. ;)
re: MikeR
Seconded. Perhaps Dave has stumbled on a few places that all happen to consistently cook steaks to his definition, but in my experience definitions of doneness vary hugely from restaurant to restaurant and even chef to chef, so if you're not asking "what does X mean to whoever is cooking today?" then you're just gambling.
(FWIW, my definitions of doneness are closer to Ray's than to Dave's.)
re: ClevelandDave
re: monavano
My wife orders her burgers and steaks medium-well all the time. I don't think she's ever had it done the way she likes it. Mind you, she's the type that's always looking for something to complain about. :-)
re: ClevelandDave
But you were talking earlier about medium-rare not being to your liking, i.e. red not pink in the middle, and now you fess up to ordering good beef cooked til its grey? And it is Ray's fault? Argghhh! And I actually gave a damn, thinking that the use of thermometers, and an increased USDA presence, might have changed what medium-rare was expected to be...
Medium-well? There is so little of the great aspects of the steak left after medium that it begs the question, why order steak if you are going to cook it so much that it is tougher and nearly flavorless?
(1) The Tasting Room at Restaurant Eve. And no, it's not because I'm not 'sophisticated' enough. I love Komi and CityZen and many other fine dining experiences in DC and elsewhere around the globe.
(2) 2Amys. Apparently my mistake here has been to focus on the pizza and not the other dishes. That said, the pizza has not wowed me and the ambiance is that of Romper Room. I expect Barney to show up any minute. (Yes, I know, I'm mixing children's shows and eras.)
re: foodtrip
Thank you. Restaurant Eve is good but their prices are ridiculous ($17 for green beans) and the hostess' disdain for the walk-in customer is more than I can stand.

re: foodtrip
I think you'd enjoy 2 Amys more if you thought of it as a place to go broke eating pizza soup in an authentic nursery atmosphere.
re: monkeyrotica
LOL! Monkey, I always enjoy your humor. You have perfectly summarized the 2 Amys experience.
Cakelove. I am so sorry but the cupcakes are just boring as hell and overpriced. I have tried them at different temperatures and such. ick.
re: rHairing
i do not think anyone likes cakelove after reading several comments on this board.
re: rHairing
I don't love any place that specializes in cupcakes. I just don't get that food trend no matter how they dress it up or dress it down. Too big, too small, too gooey, too dry, too moist, too messy, too sweet, too expensive. Give me a $6 slice of a nice dense chocolate cake any time and I can make three desserts out of it. ;)
re: rHairing
I think the dislike for Cakelove is pretty universal. I think it coasted along because it was the only game in town. But now that there are places like Baked and Wired and Georgetown Cupcake etc there is no reason to go there.

Amen to this, I thought I was the only one. I almost feel like there might be something wrong with me because EVERYONE else couldn't stop talking about how much they loved it. But Cakeloves cakes are dry, bland and their frosting would best be served as a mortar for tile bricking.
If I want decent cupcakes I would go to Red Velvet (good) or Georgetown Cupcakes (better)

re: rHairing
I ate a piece of cake at Cakelove just a week ago. I even let it reach room temperature before eating (why do they serve cold cakes???) but it was less than mediocre. Not worth $7....I wish I had spent it on a bowl of pho:)
Rasika. Maybe I ordered wrong but every single item other than the black cod was totally forgettable. Everybody else falls over themselves to praise this place, so it's probably worth a return trip but my meal there was just not up to par.

re: woodleyparkhound
And your comment made ME smile! Many years ago, long before places like Victoria's Gastropub, we recommended Tersiguel's in Ellicott City to a co-worker. That co-worker and her spouse were SO unhappy with their meal that they came home and made sandwiches for dinner. Apparently they felt the food was inedible. As you say Woodleyparkhound, to each his own.

re: woodleyparkhound
I'm inclined to agree here. The first time I went, we had the black cod and the fish curry. The cod was unremarkable and the fish in the curry was as dry as the sahara. However, after finally getting around to giving it a second chance, we really enjoyed the green chicken and lamb gosht. I do think it's over-priced, and perhaps over-rated, but there are some excellent dishes to be found there, as well as some to be avoided.
re: reiflame
agree, reiflame. The "black cod" was nice sablefish, but nothing special. Everything else was forgettable. Except the silly Pier One decor and the odd height chairs and banquettes. It felt like it was done on the cheap.
I've been a couple of times because others wanted to go. Friends who had lived in India described it as a place for those who want to eat Indian food because it trendy but are really afraid of Indian food.
Very good meal, but not anywhere near being worth $125pp.

I am going to get SLAMMED for this, but here goes: L'Auberge Chez Francois.
I hosted someone's b'day party there about 14 years ago, when I was vegetarian. I ordered some dish with mushrooms in it and it was soooo very salty, it might as well have been pickled. I have never been there since and will not ever go again.
OK, let it fly.
re: VirginiaCook
I agree with you. I went there once and thought the atmosphere rather kitschy. Food was okay, and I've had better in mom and pop places in France and Belgium, certainly not up to my expectations.

I think there are quite a few people who agree with you. I do, even as a meat eater. It wasn't bad but I don't think it compares to L'Auberge Provencal.

equinox-- had an utterly forgettable meal with poor service albeit during restaurant week a few years ago and I gave feedback to the management. They offered to send me a gift cert to return and enjoy a better meal. I never received the cert and when I contacted the restaurant I was accused of trying to scam them for a free meal-- Was told that the cert was sent and that was that. Never returned.
Zaytinya. I seriously cannot wrap my head around why people would pay so much money for such a small amount of mediocre food. People keep telling me it's great for happy hour or cocktails with friends/co-workers, but then I start trying to wrap my head around paying so much for drinks on top of paying so much for mediocre food, and I just give up. I know, I know, YMMV.

I'm inclined to partially agree with you, but only out of hatred for small plates places. That said, by the standards of small plates places, Zaytina actually gives you a fairly large serving of most things, and the prices are quite good for the neighborhood, though one needs to take into consideration that everything in Chinatown is generally over-priced and over-rated, with the exception of the American Art museum.

A little off topic, but if you want excellent Tuscan style italian on the Hill, just head few blocks north to Toscana Cafe by union station.

For me it's Zaytinya. I just don't get what all the hype is about. It's my least favorite Jose Andreas restaurants. I find the food decent but not great. I've had good dishes before but nothing that blew me out of the water.
I think the place is waaaay too loud. In that area of town there are about 10 other restaurants I would choose besides Zaytinya...but people seem to loooove it.
701 9th St NW, Washington, DC 20001
re: Elyssa
My brother and I had a great RW meal at Zaytinya. I was expecting to leave hungry but that was not the case. Of course, the fact that we got a third RW lunch to share might have helped. 8<D Still, we liked the food a lot (love the yogurt and apricot dessert) and the pita was outstanding.
More recently we had another good lunch at Jaleo, which I think has held up very well over the years. Back in the day several other tapas spots opened up soon after Jaleo and none were as good (and we tried a bunch of them).
I'll throw out BLT Steak, which most people seem to like. I got treated to dinner there for my birthday recently, and while the food was good, the prices were so ridiculous that I cannot ever see eating there on my own dime. The swordfish was very nice, but for $36 with no sides? As Warner Wolf used to say (Ok, I'm old), "Come on!!!" And people say DC Coast is overpriced.
What's funny about this thread is that the whole premise is inherently flawed, since the responses prove there's really no place that "everyone loves." There's always a seething undercurrent of negativity, but as discussed on another thread, when the posts about a place are uniformly positive, naysayers often don't bother jumping in. So this thread is a nice way to bring out the contrarians.

Zatinya fills a much-needed niche downtown, i.e., providing a place for people to wait in line while going deaf. We can't all make it out to 2 Amys or Lauriol Plaza.
re: monkeyrotica
Most restaurants in DC are overly loud. If you don't want to wait in line, be sensible and make a reservation, which is something you have to do at most popular restaurants in DC if you don't want to wait in line...assuming they even take reservations.
re: The Big Crunch
This was originally posted in 2010 when I'm fairly certain Zaytinya wasn't accepting reservations. There was a time when you couldn't make one in the earlier days of the restaurant.
Open City -- Absolutely tasteless and bland.

The lamb burger is pretty tasty. However, I do think they generally over-char their burgers, which makes them taste far more like burnt char, and the fries are nothing special.
re: Snd485
Agreed about Oyamel. I really wanted to like the place, but nothing about it was likeable. The food was not nearly as good as I had expected and the tables are way too tightly packed -- designed to maximize the number of diners, while totally ignorning diners' comfort. I was constantly being jostled by the wait staff as they attempted to maneuver through the way too narrow spaces.
re: Snd485
Agree. I only went once and it was terrible in terms of service and mediocre in terms of food. I feel the same way about the Chinatown Jaleo. Way too rushed, and sloppy sloppy sloppy.
re: Snd485
I love the food at Oyamel, but the noise and clueless/shabby service are serious, serious drawbacks. In this economy? Feh.
For me, that would be the much-lauded Charleston. I only ate there once, but that was enough for my money. The sauces were unpleasantly sticky, and an app billed as "wilted" spinach salad was nothing more than a pile of unseasoned, cooked (not wilted) spinach. And Chef Wolfe was right there at the passe, waving things on.
The service was a bit oppressive as well. I hate the feeling of being watched as much as I hate the feeling of being ignored.
re: theminx
I have to agree. We went there for the first time for our anniversary last year and I found the place really stuffy and the service snobby. The food was good but not outstanding and certainly not enough to counter the ambiance. Based on the reputation, I was looking for something really special and was very disappointed.
re: yummyseeker
Definitely overhyped
Have to sadly agree about the Helmand.The last two times I was there it was kind of dissapointing. Sad because it used to be one of my faves. There wasn't the usual subtle dinstinction of flavors in the entrees. They just kind of seemed thrown together. Plus the beef on one their regular specials was just way to tough and stringy. Combine that with the price hike and it makes me not really miss the place.

SO with you on G&M.
My nominations are Cafe Atlantico (Latin dim sum) and Addies. I had the Latin brunch tasting menu. Half the dishes consisted of pureed malanga. Blah. Also, why call it dim sum? The place is owned by a Spaniard--just call it tapas.
At Addies, the food was okay but the wait was bad and the service worse. Would not go back.

Paper Moon Diner and Blue Moon Diner in Baltimore. It's been a while since I last ate at Paper Moon, but each time the service was awful, food overpriced and so-so. The kitschy atmosphere isn't enough to keep you coming back. Blue Moon was such a disappointment. People rave about the food, but it was just..breakfast? Nothing about it justified the one hour wait for a table- not the 'experience,' food and certainly not the apathetic service. Diff'rent Strokes I guess. :)

Say what you will, but their short ribs are awesome. I guess you have to expect some variance at that end of the spectrum.
Here's another one (watch out for the flying plates from all those that like the place): Bucks Fishing and Camping. The smokefish tasted like it was right out of a vaccum pack and the meat was mediocre; the atmosphere, while it has the potential to be charming, was blah; the place did not seem clean; the service was uncomfortable. Instead of warm and fuzzy I felt uncomfortable and uneasy.
I cannot stand a restaurant where they've crammed so much on a small two-top table that I have to fear every second one of us is going to knock over the water glass, pepper shaker, candle, multiple plates, or whatever. And when this gets magnified with multiple large menus, it drives me insane. This is the case at Heritage India in Dupont and also, to my dismay, Dino.

Even the detractors of Ray's Hell Burger (who will tell you that Central's burger tastes better, for instance) agree that it's a good burger for the money, assuming you actually want a large burger.
Four Sisters is a great family friendly Vietnamese restaurant. If you have (or are) a picky eater there's little to be afraid of there, and that's its strength. Certainly there is more "authentic" Vietnamese cooking elsewhere, but the food is tasty, you can usually get questions answered in reasonably understandable English, and the environment won't scare anyone away.
While it's certainly valid not to "love" either of those places, I wouldn't put either in the category of "everyone loves it but you."

re: siamesechin
Annabel Lee's. My friends LOVE it, it gets great reviews, and the menu looks so creative and exciting-- it's just that everything I've eaten there (except some nachos once) has tasted bad. Also Vaccaro's-- the stuff looks pretty, it just doesn't taste good.
Okay, my first post got deleted for being "unfair," so I'll try again. I do not like the food at Ben's Chili Bowl at all. Perhaps I should have tried the regular chili, but thought the stuff that went on the half-smokes tasted metallic, like it had come out of a can. The fries were also greasy, soggy, nothing special. At least it was cheap...
Ben's Chili Bowl
1213 U St NW, Washington, DC 20009
re: kathleen440
Ben's is one of those local landmarks that's been around so long they don't even have to try to be good. Every town has them; they've all seen better days, yet people continue to go to them just so they can say they went. And yes, the chili comes out of a can. I have to disagree on it being cheap, though. I'd hardly call $8 (plus tip) cheap for a hotdog.
re: monkeyrotica
I put Ben's in the Vienna Inn school of landmark dive, tho Ben's street is cooler now, they both use canned chili and their dogs aren't that great.
Vienna Inn does serve a nice cold brew, so I have to give the nod to Vienna Inn...
re: Ziv
Ben's is famous for staying open all thru the DC riots in the '60s where blocks and blocks around it burned. Served everyone from street people to police officers and all in between and became sort of a nerve center for the community which gradually rebuilt around it. It's a great *place* with so-so food.
re: flavrmeistr
Seems the last time I was there they were extending the menu slightly.
IIRC, the chef/owner is a CIA grad, but possibly related to the previous owners (transfer took place about 10 years ago?). Even with a culinary background he wanted to run THAT place and not mess with something that had a good following.
Unless I was sold a massive bill of goods.
re: Dennis S
I dunno. I was in there a year ago and the chilidog was every bit as nasty as I remember from 30 years ago. More like a Vienna sausage in flavor and texture than a hotdog. It was the first time I ever saw kids in there, though.
re: flavrmeistr
I've always thought of it as a local family place.
And no, I didn't say they were making the food better. Even though the guy is a CIA grad, he specifically didn't want to change anything. If it ain't broke...
re: Dennis S
OK, as if it matters...
The original owner's son is a CIA grad, and the son came back to work at Vienna Inn, presumably to pay off his "college loan" given by his parents. That was at least 8-10 years ago, probably more. The father passed away, and the CIA grad ran the business for a short time thereafter.
During the time that the son was there, there were a few menu changes that put other things on the map besides chili dogs. The changes were generally met with Dennis S's sentiment, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". So while there are remnants of menu items that are better than chili dogs (I particularly like their turkey club, which is quite good in the "diner" sense, if not upscale or gourmet sense), those efforts were not embraced by the clientele. The son eventually sold the business to a local (people call him Marty) business man, and the food generally remains true to its longstanding form, including the chili dogs.
On the plus side, Marty's brother, Brian, has seen fit to put up a couple of decent (Starr Hill) beers on tap, so it is now a little more that a "pitcher of Bud Light" kind of place for beer.
The CIA grad/son of owner is now, I have heard, the owner and proprietor of a Bed and Breakfast in New England.
re: SoxFan1
back story is always interesting.
re: SoxFan1
Thanks for the detailed info. I was sure of the story about 8-10 years ago, but with time and other things I was slightly wondering if I'd made some of it up.
I did notice the better beers last time I was there - about a month ago.
re: Dennis S
Nothing wrong with a pitcher of Bud kind of place. They're a dying breed around here. I admire them for hanging tough, historically-nasty chili dogs and all. I always liked their bean soup and hot brisket sandwiches. I'm guessing there aren't as many brawls in the parking lot, but there are probably more entertainment options in Vienna these days
Belga Cafe is a head-scratcher -- why is it so popular? Four Sisters pales in comparison to truly authentic Huong Viet. Song Que has amazing selection of banh mi, but Nhu Lan is superior in taste. Good Stuff Eatery and Elevation Burger are charming, but I still prefer Ray's and Five Guys (though Ray's is far and away the best). Good Stuff is messy and fries leave much to be desired. Love that Elevation features grass-fed, organic meat - but it's a puny, flavorless burger. Oyamel and Jaleo are disappointing - though just the right scene and price for swanky happy hour. Firefly is disappointing for brunch; you'll want to eat another meal just to off-set it. And cupcakes in general.

Myanmar. For years I'd read so many positive reviews of this restaurant, beginning with Tyler Cowan's. We finally went there, about a year ago, and every thing we ordered was just ok (and I made sure to order that ginger salad that so many folks raved about - meh!). Even my iced tea had a peculiar taste (as tho' it had been made using stagnant pond water). I can't remember now what we ordered other than that ginger salad but we were underwhelmed. But, to each his own :)
I was sorry to see so many poor reviews of 2Amy's - but then I haven't been there in several years. However, back then, we'd go as soon as it opened and by the time we were through with our meal (and the pizzas were good then), the place was filled up, the kids were wound up, and the line went way down the block.

Not sure if everyone loves them except me, but a lot of people do and I just don't get it.
Travinia Italian Kitchen in Leesburg, VA.
Ordered carry-out twice and both times, felt like I was an afterthought to them. Hostess made me pay and pickup at the bar. One time, the bar was packed and took me 10 minutes to get out of there, despite my pizza sitting right there by the register (The pizza was just okay, and kinda small).
The other time, I got the impression I was bugging them, because it was before dinner hour and most everyone was prepping for dinner. The chicken parm sandwich was nothing to write home about.
I didn't get a friendly vibe at all both times getting carryout. So, I am really hesitant to try and dine-in there. They need to let the hostess handle the carryout orders or they should just not offer carryout at all.
My co-workers seem to like the place, but I think I will take a pass. Conversely, Firebirds Grill, which is two doors down, always makes me feel welcome and the food is really good. I do have to go to the bar to pick up, but the bartenders there treat you like the paying customer that you are, and are nice and never keep me waiting.

A Different World01.02.2010 in Uncategorized
Today we visited 10 of our school sponsored kids who have been placed in Ram Krishna Mission Boarding School. It was absolutely amazing! The kids looked so good, so happy and healthy and clean, that I almost did not recognize them. These girls, aged 6-13, were all born into the Kidderpore red light community of Calcutta. Their mothers were
trafficked as young girls into brothels, and are still working the streets, kept captive now by a complete lack of other options, and by the extreme stigma hanging like a cloud over the whole district.
When the children lived at home, they shared a tiny room in the brothel with their mothers – it was a dangerous situation in the extreme, as there is always the risk that a client would tire of the mother and reach for her young daughter instead. Our partner agency Apne Aap, which runs a prevention program in Kidderpore, eventually took these 10 girls into the night shelter because they were at especially high risk or had already been exploited. The Emancipation Network began paying for their schooling three years ago and this past spring, they were enrolled in the Boarding School.1 comment

Alvin Greene Indicted on Felony Obsenity Charges
**Written by Doug Powers
Alvin Greene is now officially ready to join Congress:
A grand jury on Friday indicted U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene on two charges, including a a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student.
Greene was indicted for disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity, a felony and a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent.
Greene told FoxNews.com that "my lawyer's dealing with it" before hanging up. When reached again by phone and asked who his lawyer is, Greene said, "It doesn't matter."
The Democrats will stop at nothing to get Greene off the ballot so they replace him. This news means Greene's fully qualified to serve on a Senate SEC oversight comittee, but instead Alvin's probably going to be dispatched.
If the porn charges don't stick, maybe Alvin has a couple of unpaid parking tickets they can send him up the river for, at least until after November.
File this one under "Friday unwanted candidate dump."

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. I love creating my own recipes and menus for people. I have been doing this since I was about 12 years old. I put together a birthday party with lots of freshly prepared food and cake that I prepared for my mom. I had help from my cousins and friends who were my assistants and servers. The party was a great success and I have been doing this ever since. I made this chicken dish 8 years ago and it was the only thing different my mom would eat so I made sure I perfected the dish just for her and of course others. I usually brine my chicken in a mixture of salt, brown sugar and water for at least 45 minutes

FRESNO - Sierra High junior Alex Nuanez is used to facing wrestlers bigger and older than him, but he took the experience to another level this past weekend in the Greco Roman State Championships this past weekend at Selland Arena.
The Sierra High girls swimming team came just six points shy of taking the Valley Oak League Championship meet crown, falling to Oakdale High 132-126 in the eight-team league finale at Sierra High Saturday.
SONORA – An early drive to Sonora is never bad, when the return trip includes an 8-4 Valley Oak League win over the Wildcats. That was the case in East Union's league win over Sonora Saturday.
Manteca High pitcher and leadoff hitter Matt Barber made good on only half of his promise to coach Gene Ballardo Friday.
Jonathan Davis sheered a 5-0 Oakdale High lead to 5-2 with a towering home run down the right field line in the fourth inning, but the Mustangs would answer with three more and held Sierra quiet in an 8-2 Valley Oak League sweep Friday.
OAKDALE – Oakdale High standout Brianna Parker gave one of her more impressive showings of the season, outdueling Sierra starter Gabby Hawkins in a well-played 1-0 Valley Oak League win over the Timberwolves Friday at Oakdale High.
Sophomore Steven Gigli went 3 for 4 with a double, two RBIs and three steals to lead East Union High's baseball team to an 8-4 victory over visiting Lathrop Friday.
East Union's boys and girls track and field teams both moved to 4-2 in Valley Oak League duals after getting past rival Manteca in a make-up meet at home Friday.
Sierra High's sophomore baseball team recovered from a blowout loss to Oakdale Thursday to hand the Valley Oak League's top club its first loss with a 10-9 victory in eight innings Friday at home.
Manteca High's girls soccer ended its playoff drought by beating visiting Sonora 1-0 Thursday.
Manteca High's boys tennis team took some big graduation hits over the last two years.
Jackie Ketner has always been one to rely on her defense to make plays, and her defense came through for the final out of Thursday's Valley Oak League contest with Lathrop at Northgate Softball Complex.
After leading the East Union Lancers to their fourth straight Valley Oak League championship and 10th consecutive Sac-Joaquin Section playoff berth, head coach Jim Agostini will get to take a curtain call when he guides one of the squads in the 15th Annual Six-County All-Star Game.
It was more than just the final match of a long Valley Oak League season, it was the final tune-up for both Sierra and Manteca high's going into Tuesday's VOL Championships at Greenhorn Creek in Angels Camp.
OAKDALE – The Sierra Timberwolves could have folded after falling behind early, but they hung tough and battled, falling to the Oakdale Mustangs 7-2 in Valley Oak League play Thursday.
Coming off a tough five-game loss to rival Escalon, Ripon bounced back nicely with Monday's 25-13, 25-10, 25-23 sweep at Modesto Christian.
East Union's Edmi Lopez is a Timberwolf slayer.
Ripon Christian's boys soccer team overcame a halftime deficit, and Andrew Manes nailed the go-ahead goal in the 72nd minute to knock off host Le Grand 2-1 on Thursday.
The Manteca and East Union volleyball teams split their first two sets Wednesday before the visiting Lancers atoned for an earlier season sweep and pulled away to win the next two for a 25-21, 24-26, 25-22, 25-17 win in Valley Oak League action at Winter Gymnasium.
East Union co-head coaches Brian Goulart and Dennis Wells figured this was the year that the Lancers' run of championships in the Sierra Invitational would end.
The hardest part of the schedule is over for Ripon's football team.
Manteca and Oakdale entered Wednesday's Valley Oak League soccer contest tied in the standing, and the Mustangs escaped Guss Schmiedt Field with a 5-2 victory and sole possession of second place.
Manteca is on a three-match winning streak after thumping Kimball 8-1 in Tracy on Wednesday.
TRACY - Mahir Pepic and Haley Silva won the varsity boys and girls races without much of a challenge in the second Valley Oak League cluster meet Tuesday at Eagal Lakes.
Rich Posz hoped that his East Union volleyball team's upset of Oakdale last Thursday would have a carry-over effect in Tuesday's duel with first-place Central Catholic.
RIPON - Thomas Sidtikun scored two goals and assisted on a third Tuesday to help keep defending league champion Ripon in first place in the Trans-Valley League with a 3-0 win over Escalon at Stouffer Field.
Brooke Riley looked to be on her way to another outstanding round after a birdie-birdie start in East Union's Valley Oak League match with Sierra on Tuesday.
Elizabeth Tolbert held off East Union's Maddie Yslava to win a hard-earned three-set match and highlighted an 8-1 victory for visiting Manteca on Tuesday.
East Union's game plan was to apply pressure on the Manteca back line from the opening whistle Monday at Guss Schmiedt Field.
With help from East Union, Weston Ranch finds itself comfortably ahead of the pack at the midway point of the Valley Oak League boys soccer season.

Rick Ross AKA Ricky Rozay was seen wearing 9FIVE sunglasses on the set of the shoot for "If They Knew", off his upcoming album, Hood Billionaire. The sunglasses that Rick Ross is wearing are the 9FIVE Tips in Black Snake/Tortoise... In my humble opinion, one of our flyest frames.
We only keep one aviator style sunglass in the #9FIVE collection, so we try to make sure it's on point. The #Highs2 is a re-worked version of our original Highs frame... The perfect blend of stainless steel and handmade acetate, substantial in build yet incredibly comfortable on the face. We have updated the silhouette with a modernized shape, a more stylish fit and lots of intricate detailing. Offered in both Tortoise/Gold (Shown above), and Black/Gold, and available now on 9fivesite.com.
