Taj Mahal Restaurant
Category: Indian
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle
10 bucks. It's all you can eat. It's not particularly good but it's not bad either. The service is really good and the staff is nice.
Sadly I think people in DC are afraid of spicy Indian food. This is the 4th place I've went where none of the curry really kicks you in the pants. And I'm all about getting kicked in the pants. Figuratively speaking of course.

Z-Burger
Category: Burgers
Neighborhood: Tenleytown
Z-Burger, as part of loyalty building for the zombie apocalypse sold burgers for $1 during snowpocalypse II (their official stance was 1ft or more of snow according to the nat'l weather service).
Anyways. my cheese burger was only $1, or $1.10 cents because we gotta give Caesar is cut and it was damn near the closest thing to in and out i've had out east. So for the uninitiated that means fresh ass ingredients and lots of thousand island sauce. Excellent.
The fries were legit, a large order is a pretty obscene amount of food and there is plentiful malt vinegar for your enjoyment.
Even though I only paid a dollar, i think i'd pay like 8, which is what i think it costs. so i'll go back even when it isn't snowing

Senor Chicken
Categories: Fast Food, Sandwiches
Neighborhood: Columbia Heights
The chicken is great. It's amazing. It just falls off the bone. I hate myself for only getting 1/4 chicken and not half or, gasp, a whole chicken. Though I guess if I ate an entire chicken on my own I'd feel sort of disgusting. I mean I know we might eat a whole fish on our own but for the most part an entire animal (fine shrimp are small too) is more than one person can eat. I would probably feel damn near ogreish if I ate an entire chicken. Anyways I might try next week. we'll see.
What they do lose a point on is that with the rice and beans it was obviously just nuked int he microwave cause the bottom of the styrofoam was warped (carcinogens much?) and i'm not down with that.

First off, big ups to PPDS for having the Chinese New Years party which included 2 free drinks, random avatar looking waiters handing out dim sum, and an awesome gift bag.
Sadly the dim sum it self is just pretty average. Which isn't a bad thing unless each dish costs $5.
The exception is the baked bbq pork puff is great though. It's a good hybrid between the normal variety you get at dim sum and a turnover. The dough with the extra sugar really makes a great combination.
On the other hand their drinks are pretty cool. The Tennessee Tea comes with a sichuan pepper(?) which when you chew it for a while makes your mouth go numb and drastically alters the flavor of the drink. Pretty cool. Good cocktails in general though certainly not cheap.
I might go for dim sum one day. maybe.

Luna Grill & Diner
Categories: Diners, American (New)
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle
Wacky decor if you're into that sort of thing. Modern art ish. Or maybe faux modern art. I'm not expert but that's the impression I get.
My burger, which i ordered with blue cheese and mushrooms was pretty average. The only thing that saved this from being 2 stars was that the bread was excellent. It was like torta bread. Flakey and amazing. The rest of the burger was pretty mehhh. The quality of the meat was ok but the patties are thick to the point that the outer layers are really just to dry for my tastes. They were also sorta stingy with the toppings.
I work so close to there that I might give them another shot to woo me with a club sandwich. I'm big on club sandwiches.

This place is good if you know what to get and pretty bad if you don't
Do get:
Lengua Tacos - actually among the better lengua I've had in DC. That doesn't say much but nothing wrong with being a big fish in a little pond when I don't have a car to drive to the better ponds (did that make sense?)
Barbacoa/Lengua/Pastor Torta - They make great tortas here. They have great bread and that stringy Oaxacan cheese that I have yet to see anyone else serve out east.
Don't Get:
Chicken Tacos - So dry!
Burrito - they don't wrap it well and the cheese melts funny.
Breakfast Burrito - same as the burritos above. don't bother.
If you follow my advice it's a 4 star joint. If you don't it's a 1 star joint. Trust me on this one.

Shawarma King
Categories: Middle Eastern, Mediterranean
despite the name I actually thought their fallafel was better. Not to say that the beef shawarma I had wasn't good but it wasn't mind blowing. The fallafel balls on the other were awesome. Nice and airy which is pretty tough to find.
I'll go back to try the chicken. winner winner chicken dinarr

Had a guiness and the crispy fish sandwich. Guiness is Guiness.
The fish sandwich was pretty dent, plentiful tartar sauce and cucumber.
The weird part was the fries. I think they put beef stock in the ketchup cause it makes the fries taste like meat. It's super weird. Not really good. Definitely overpowering. I'm not over Heinz so lets not be too clever Mr. Hoban

It's def got the ye olden pub feel and a beer selection to match but the service is almost non existent. This makes it both very difficult to keep your buzz going or your stomach full and for a pub whose job is to do primarily these two things, that's a problem.
You are a successful business Brickskeller, so spend some money on extra waitresses and people will drink and eat more and you'll be even more successful. Easy math.

Person A: "You are a lying sack of crap!"
Person B: "So's your mom!"
As we can see, Person B is acknowledging that they are in fact a lying sack of crap but that this also applies to Person A's mother. Perhaps a better retort would be "I'm not but your mom is" or something to that effect.
Anyways I digress. Great sandwiches, super fresh, great prices, and they have celery soda. One of the cashiers is cute too.
I kinda wish I could sit down there but like so many of the better places I've been in DC it looks like they have to trade seating for quality in some sort of bizarre zero sum game.
