I just came back from a week-long trip back East, which was wonderful (and comes with a couple of restaurant reviews, coming soon). Tomorrow, I'm headed to China for a little over a week. Should result in quite a few posts, I hope.
Just wanted to explain the scarcity of posts lately.
NEWSFLASH: The Washingtonian, DC's high society magazine of sorts, publishes a top 100 restaurants in DC list every year. This year, my favorite DC fine dining resto, Komi, has managed to unseat Michel Richard's long running #1 spot with Citronelle. I've eaten at both, and though Citronelle was excellent, Komi is quite special. Well done, Chef Monis. It is well-deserved. Thanks to Ben for the info.

About Me
The Deal:

Citronelle was mediocre. Could have been an off night, or we could have been treated poorly (food-wise) because we're young, but it was just not good.
Citronelle was very good when we went, though we did get the patronizing young person treatment service-wise. "Have you ever had quail before?" and that kind of shit. The food was good, though. Then again, it was over three years ago...
Ah, that explains the absence. Have fun in China!!!
You need to tell me your secret on how you afford all of your travel!
I have a trust fund, which I used to create a successful Ponzi scheme.
Come back and blog about your top chef opinions! This season has definitely taken a dive.
