Atilla's: Creature of habit, especially when it comes to really, really good gyros.
Hard Times Cafe: Cincinnati Chili with chopped onions, sour cream, and cheddar. Comfort food!
Matuba: Still cannot get over the portions and the freshness of the fish.
P. Brennan's Irish Pub: Site for my very first shepherd's pie. Herd me, I'm a follower!
Restaurant 3: Very happy hour (or two!) with the DC Food Bloggers.
Home: No, not some new, fancy restaurant! I actually ended up cooking a superb dinner a couple times this week. Been running on sunny days, thus eating like a pig. One evening was grilled lamb chops (awesome!), the other was seared duck breast (yum!).
Masa 14: Meh.
Matuba Japanese Restaurant: I've been here once before. Worthy of a repeat. Some of the freshest sushi around town, yet quite inexpensive. Within walking distance from my house, to help keep the pounds down.
Rappahannock Coffee: Ate the quiche. Not too heavy, lots of veggies. I ran an extra mile that day.
Starbucks: I always get the Venti Green Tea Latte, extra hot. Unless I get the Tall Hazelnut Latte with Soy Milk.
On the way home, my phone rang, and imagine my surprise when I saw that it was an old friend from days past who was calling me! Vegas and I had not spoken with each other for a while, ever since we had a falling out early last year. Yes, it was all his fault. No, I'm not kidding. We talked for a bit, and slowly, all the animosity melted away. Apologies were doled out, and I decided to forgive Vegas. After all, second chances are deserved by most, right?
Considering that I just regained a friendship, I decided to pay homage to the situation by going to a place that is also worthy of a second chance. Truth is, I felt like taking a break, as I have cooked dinner for the past couple of days. My 'hood is really diverse, so I knew it wouldn't be difficult to find an awesome place to eat at on the Pike. I just needed to remember where I've gone before and have "blacklisted". Immediately, I thought of Matuba's.
