Fine, pressure me why don't you. I read stuff here a lot because 1) I am into food & restaurants; 2) I do some food writing of my own and am thinking about a blog of my own someday; and 3) I work in the restaurant industry, as a matterof fact, for a restaurant you have reviewed more than once. happy reading!

Hello! I'm really digging your site. Don't have much time to write right now, but I will chime in with some recent favorites. I've gone to Mercury Grill twice in the past few months, and had really good experiences there both times. I don't typically order lasagna out, but theirs was fanastic. Their tiramisu is nice and light. Also, I'm very fond of Cafe Luna for brunch and lunch. Rarely do I have to wait, and when I do, it's 10 minutes, tops. It's a nice little neighborhood place.

Now, I have a question for (all of) you: Where do you find a nice loaf of Italian bread in this town? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it, either. I've been here a little over a year now, and can't seem to find simple, good Italian bread anywhere!

I went to college in DC and haven't lived there for almost six years. I miss the amazing restaurants, and your site lets me live vicariously through you and Amy! I'll be in DC next month and CAN'T WAIT to go back to Meskerem. There is no Ethiopian food in Santa Barbara!

I've been reading for a while and I think your blog is just peachy. My favorite fancypants restaurant in DC is probably Mie N Yu; not necessarily the best food in the city but damn good and the atmosphere is great fun. I have way too many cheapy favorites to even name. Keep up the good posts!

Nice site. Good too see reviews besides WP and Washingtonian.

Went to David Greggory for x-mas eve. Delicious.

Great reading, helpful insights and overall a wonderful site.

Favorite restaurant is one that you haven't reviewed, and can be found on the west coast only, but is well worth the trip. In-N-Out Burgers. Five Guys is ok, but not the best.

I digress though... the one thing that I noticed is that many of the restaurants that your go to seem to be more of the well-known ones... do you like going to "hole in the wall" type places? I tend to think that have better food for the money. As a frequent business traveler, I have noticed the same on the road.

Heh. My favorite place to eat (well, place to get food to eat) is probably Vace.

The best meal I've had recently was at a sushi place near M and Wisconsin.

I dont take many risks with the foods and I am not at all flush with cash, so reading this site is mostly living vicariously thing.

A few Friday evenings ago, a few friends and I sat at the bar, and ate, at Palette. It was VERY good- menu a bit limited but everyone's items were tasty (good bison burger)! Mmmmm, gettin' hungry thinkin about it. Service was great and non-pretentious as well. Kinda funny, I commented on another blog I frequent- the Amateur Gourmet- this morning- he's visiting DC and I recommended the bar at Palette to him as well. BTW, Komi rocks! Enjoy your site, thanks!

Thanks everyone for de-lurking yourselves. I appreciate the support and knowing that people are reading (and enjoying) this site.

I'm JD and I lurk. "We love you JD!" I love the site and check it our often. My friends and I have a less-organized and sometimes more recipe focused blog we use to talk about restaurants shre kitchen adventures, etc. (see link if ya want). We linked to you. So faves: Aatish on the Hill, Pasta Plus in Laurel, Heritage India (only delivery when we are visiting friends), Lite N Fair in Old Town, and Pho 75 in Arlington.

I'm glad you appreciate my work KJH and I'm happy my Restaurant Week post was helpful for everyone. I received a lot of positive feedback from that. Chinatown is tough for me. I NEVER get over there, which is really too bad cause I know there are some good places over there.

Best recent meal Vidalia for lunch. Went to Indique on your rec and agreed with you. Went to Komi early on and was disappointed but will give it another shot. I eat out 10-12 times per week and think DC is a pretty good restaurant city. It'll never be New York but that's OK too. Great site and since I eat out so much I'm always looking for new spots. Thanks.

How much money do you waste eating out all the time. And your not fat??? So i take it you work out alot too??? But i give props to you and your blog. Its excellent and very good. I will definitely recommend it to others. Hey though i do have a question. I'm a AA Male and i don't see any soul food spots. Whats the deal man, you gotta try some soul food. Gives you balance!! But best wishes and good luck bro!!!
Rod!!!!!
