Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

already gone to SF :(

missin mah doggz

<3

...although this tasty 2.75 BBQ pork bánh mì is easing my grief

(btw amy d sent me a link yesterday about new phở place in columbia heights that is supposedly good but is charging like NINE DOLLARS for bánh mì. UH isnt the point that it's cheap??? stupid TARGET mark-up. it's just gonna end up another place that's shittier than what langley park and annandale and columbia heights potbelly can offer)

DOESNT ANYONE CARE ABOUT MY TROUBLES

dead to us

charging like NINE DOLLARS for bánh mì.

Saw this on dcist.com Apparently they're pushing a combo, the banh mi sandwich and soup and sumptin else for $9, but you can get just the banh mo for half that (but it's not obvious on the menu)

I went to Beijing earlier this year - mid February, so it was still cold and rainy - and actually saw people lining up to take picures in front of multiple fake cherry blossom trees in front of a few department stores on the main shoppig drag of central Beijing.

Crazy.

Also - 69. How's SF treating y'all?

its great! anni3 got a job at UCSF, we got record shelving, we saw I LOVE YOU MAN last night and missed zack and emily, and we're trying out all the local pizza, and it's all like mall pizza so far.

have y'all tried that indian pizza place--shakey mo turned us onto it on the SF thread when we were out there last fall--fucking great

no but we were talking about it on wednesday! which place is it??

shakey mo lives like 1 block from me

zante's

i was suspicious
but
it was delicious

Back over here the $20 3-course lunch at Vidalia is still the deal of all deals. James Beard Award winning cooking, pick from the whole menu, oh my gosh.

UH yknow suzy's walkin around with the same handle right dogg

WAHT

had no idea

will modify

if the Vidalia lunch special isn't permanent it's at least running indefinitely.

also a killer lunch deal at Proof, an entree (from a list of six) and a glass of white or red wine for $12.

wowwww that IS a good deal!

guys my next door neighbor is playing music really loud, it is some terrible amy winehouse cover

WHAT CAN I DO

to save your village you may need to destroy it, etc etc

isnt there a split record?

yeah i have LIAR somewhere (prob at work?) and GOAT on vinyl but in a drawer back home b/c i have no turntable

dude has turned off the music though

Where to take visiting Britishers gay friend for best bits of DC scene on a weekend? bar-wise rather than dancing?

I guess you winged it, or got the answer elsewhere.

Is this just taking cheaper food and marking it up in price, asks cheapskate me?

from GOGs washpost blog:

Three years after he sold his popular Breadline downtown, Washington baker Mark Furstenberg is getting back into the retail business, this time with a 70-seat restaurant devoted to his current passion: street food from around the world

Yep, winged it especially as it was thundering and raining - went into the first bar we saw on 17th - no idea what it was called but it was ok, with huge white leather posing sofas.

(xpost) it's taking cheaper food and using better ingredients and paying downtown rent so the prices are higher.

i am dining at minibar in one week.

i am excited.

I haven't been in a couple years but it's AMAZING.

that is just what i wanted to hear. (the second part, anyway.)

later that night, junior boys. cinco de mayo perfecto.

Spirit Catcher @ Muse this Thursday
John Selway @ Muse this Friday
Wolf + Lamb @ Comet this Saturday
Junior Boys on Tuesday

busy week

the only one of those i can attend is jb :(

Obama's making the restaurant rounds--Citronelle with his wife, and now Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington with Biden

i can recommend he check out minibar (though it wouldn't be good for the optics). pretty amazing.

somehow i'm going to that $$$ cocktail party at proof tonight. dropping more dough on food/drinks in one week's time than i usually do in like four months.

excited, though. 10 cocktails on a monday night. yeah.

see you there

lol my username may be very accurate in this case - I lost my phone after the dinner last year, although it certainly didn't help that I went out for drinks afterward, too.
