Also: Where did YOU eat this weekend? Try anything excellent? Let's hear it in the comments.
[12:52 p.m.]: I guess this is a tough one! Some clues for y'all: No. 1 recently got a great new chef and they had a nice little jazz trio jamming during dinner service. No. 2 is serving a special menu this month. I ate a schlattplatte.
Friday I ate at Fat Jacks BBQ on Huntingdon Pk @ County Line Rd. -- Good souther-style cooking. Can't go wrong with pulled pork. On Saturday I went to Standard Tap (2nd & Brown) with some friends and had a burger and their Harvest Ale. Got a chance to try the Cider as well (chewy). After Standard Tap, walked over to the 700 Club (weird atmosphere upstairs and the DJ had a problem with his songs skipping near the end of the night).
Friday - Capital Grille: fine quality food, uninspired menu, conservative dining room
Saturday - St Stephens Green: perfect fit for bar & food in fairmount
Sunday - Nam Phuong: Amazing Vietnamese food with so-so service
Pre-best friend's wedding, we had food room-serviced to us from Tavern 17, in the Raddisson Warwick. Not only did they get my order wrong (after I called them four times), the fried mozzarella I didn't order was sided with two unidentifiable gray "dips" with the consistency and flavor of library paste. Any guesses what these mystery glops were?
Ortliebs and Zahav?
Rocky:
Sorry, no dice. How about hoods? No. 1: Gayborhood/Midtown Village; No. 2: Old City
Let me guess: Valanni and City Tavern?
Saturday: Taken out to Distrito by the GF's parents. Hands down my favorite restaurant in the city at present. The Jicama salad, octopus ceviche and tamale were killer.
Sunday: Dim Sum at Southern Sky on Washington
City Tavern is right! A few blocks off with the Valanni guess, though. The clock continues to tick...
is itttt ... Vintage?
So very close. It's Time, the other one from Vintage's owners. Man, I gotta make these less impossible next week, huh.
