Pickles: Briny Little Hang-Over Cures

January 11, 2009 at 8:33 pm (Food)

When I woke up on Saturday, I did not feel so good.

This is sort of how I looked.

I drank a bottle of malbec + a few glasses of whatever else I managed to pour into my cup.  It hit me pretty hard I guess because I could barely get out of bed the next morning. My boyfriend and my friend who had crashed on my living room floor were up and ready for breakfast. I was in the fetal position on the floor.  Somehow, I managed to get into the car and we headed for Morty’s Delicatessen on Wisconsin Ave.  My bus goes past this place everyday, but I had never noticed it before. It looks like a hole-in-wall from the outside, but it’s actually a pretty big restaurant.

When You’re Poor, You Might As Well Buy Some Cave-Aged Gruyere, A Baguette And Some Olives And Eat Like You’re Not

November 15, 2008 at 9:45 pm (Food) ()

Right now, I am in the process of trying to get a post published on Brightest Young Things about my disdain for Whole Foods. But really, I can’t help but love it. First of all, it is right across the street from my home. Second, the cheeses and the olive bar just call to me.

Anyone who was my friend, or even just a classmate in Syracuse knows that I love cheese. For a few months, it was pretty much my only identifiable trait.  I wrote papers about cheese, worked in the cheese department of our amazing grocery store WEGMANS (miss U <3), had a cheese party, researched it…you get the idea. I even read this book. It cost me $20. Look at that guy’s fucking hat.

I am douche bag by default for reading this.

Kind of Late, but it’s Restaurant Week in DC 11th-17th

Fancy Feast!
Fancy Feast!

More than two dozen fancy schmancy restaurants are partaking in this year’s restaurant week in D.C., including heavyhitters like McCormick & Schmick’s on K Street and Todd English’s OLiVES. Lunch is $20.08 for a three-course fixed-price meal, and dinner, $35.08. Yeah, it sounds like a lot, but when else are you going to get a chance to try a $100 meal at this price?
