/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Love me some comet pizza and besta pizza. When podesta brings in his walnut sauce it makes it all the more magical ;)

not DC but in pic related god this summer was fucking torturous

I hear yanny.

Timber has the best pizza in the area

Btw VA > dc

>>14840017
So Timber mainly caters to suburban government drones from VA suburbs? Makes sense.

I've never had them doe. I've had Call Your Mother plenty of times which iirc is an offshoot of ex-timber employees.

>>14840017
Can vouch for Timber. Used to get their pizzas every wednesday at the Foggy Bottom farmers market. Good char and sauce. Shame all the farmers markets shut down, and they stopped with the mobile pizza spot.

t. New Haven fag

>>14840045
All the farmers markets are back, but some have lines up the wazoo now.

There's mobile pizza (not timber) at dupont farmers still I think.

>tfw living in Arlington
Are there any good restaurants here? Everyone won’t shut up about pupatella but it’s mediocre

>>14840067
Have you tried Ambar?

>>14840080
Only for bottomless brunch. It was pretty good though. I’ll have to go back for a proper meal

bump

>>14840002
"The Pig" is good. When I went they had blood sausage and chicken sausage in the sampler, and it was great.

>>14840199
potato salad without mayo, imagine that!

Man let me tell you. I'm not from DC but took a vacation there because fuck-you money (I was lucky then.). I went to Ben's chilli bowl, sat where Obama sat (not political, just saying) had a half-smoke, and chilli cheese fries, and it really blew me away. I will go there again someday and do it the exact same way. It was more than I hoped for. Enjoy!

>tfw state run liquor stores
At least allow delivery you backwards bastards

>>14841954
protest in the streets if you want change

chercher near the convention center is good if you like Ethiopian food

>>14844409

>stellina also new but great

italian

>el sol and mezcalero, both from the same owner/chef and both fucking great
>taco bamba in chinatown was also incredible but i think COVID killed it

japanese
>izakaya seki on V
>sushi happy hour at toku on U also shockingly good but make sure you sit and the bar and get the fresh shit

burgers
>gaslight tavern had the best in town but it's dead now
>DC9 is my second favorite, their garlic fries are incredible
>desperados on U also good
>fuck off with your BLT steak suggestion i'm not going to fucking georgetown

sandwiches
>grazie grazie is the new venture from the founders of the dead taylor gourmet, may it rest in power
>stachowski's makes phenomenal sandwiches but clear your afternoon

BONUS ROUND
>the head chef at doi moi on 14th street once told me that hot n juicy is the best restaurant in DC, and he's right
>fuck every single restaurant at the wharf, walk to the end the wharf to the oldest continually operating fish market in the country and eat there

NOVAfag here. Alexandria has really good hispanic restaurants, like Tacos El Costalilla, El Paso, Dona Azcuena Puperseria. First two are mexican, Dona Azcuena sells salvadoran food, mostly pupusas.
Barnside Diner is really good too. Its a small diner on Little River Turnpike. Really good omelets and waffles. Annandale has plenty of korean restaurants. ChiMc chicken is great, but they cook your food fresh right as you order it, so it takes awhile to get your food.
Oh, Chadwicks in Old Town is great too. But it's a fancy place. So you should only go with at least one other person, and you don't have to be dressed formal or anything but its not a casual place so just keep that in mind. Also Hard Rock Cafe in Old Town is good too, although I'm not sure if its a chain or not.
Then for chain restaurants, Quickfire Hibachi is a good japanese place, they give you a lot of food and its really good. Paisano's Pizza is better than national chains. Also Roy Rogers is the most underrated fast food place ever. Its really good and it makes me sad that there's only like 50 in existence and they're all in the mid-atlantic area.

>>14845061
I've never heard of Andys.

I worked as a kid for a little bit under the chef of San Lorenzo. He was a jerk. Also he got busted for having a shit ton of cocaine in his suv but he got out of it cuz the woman he was with took the blame.

>>14845451
Also to add, I've never had the FOOD at DC9 but they get a bonus pass for concerts because they and Songbyrd are the only places that aren't assholes if you bring a backpack to a concert and confiscate your water and search your shit.

I like to bring ice water to concerts and Black Cat/Union State/9:30 Club/Fillmore all fuck with you if you try to bring your own water which is retarded. They are never getting my business again.

Rasika is genuinely the best Indian food I've had, ever. I can't recommend it enough.

>>14845879
what is your favorite dish there?

>>14847031
Pic related is their palak chaat and I've never been there without ordering it. First time I was there the owner told us it was one of their signature dishes. And it more than lives up to it. As far as entrees go, lamb biryani is usually what I get. Haven't been there many times yet, so there's still a lot of stuff I've yet to try.

LA anon here

Is Nocturne Bar still open? I heard it closed...if so thats a travesty...DC drinking atmosphere and quality is the best in the world

>>14840002
Happy hour at Hank’s Oyster bar

>>14845451

lol i remember hearing about that coke bust thing, i wondered how that story seemingly just vanished

>>14845463

cannot recommend the food at DC9 highly enough, several of the kitchen staff worked under Frank Ruta at Palena and then Mirabelle so they have serious chops. one of my favorite hidden gems in the city, everything that comes out of that kitchen is incredible.

>>14845451
also andys is like brand new, been open for maybe two months. there's one at 9th and U and one in navy yard, have only had the 9th and U one but it's really fucking good

>>14845061
wanna know how i know you're gay?

DCfag reporting in. Looking forward to the chaos in a few weeks. Hopefully you faggots armed yourselves. Transients face the wall on the day of the rope. Anyway, the OG Peruvian chicken place is El Pollo Rico in Clarendon.

>>14845071
>Chadwicks
Oh shit was that the same restaurant in Friendship Heights years ago? I remember they had great ribs
>>14847179
This
>>14840002
La Piquette is one of my favorite French bistros

>>14848769
I guess I will try the food but I really want to go back to DC9 as a concert venue. It is nice and smol but more importantly the staff is low key and they are not dicks about letting you bring your own food and drink.

>>14849222
agree, their staff have always been awesome.

i used to live right around the corner from it and would go so often in my fat fuck days that i would walk in and they would immediately open me my preferred beer and put in an order for my preferred burger (the slawter add blue cheese).

>>14850434
ill have to try that one

im fat but fit

im vry fat but i just rafted a class v whitewater river the other day

>>14840002
This place fucking sucks

>>14845071
>Roy Rogers is the most underrated fast food place

This is a lie and you know it

They fail at every food Item they try to do

>Burgers
Tasteless little shitty hokey pucks

>Chicken
Fried to shit flavorless chicken

>Roast beef
Mildly better than arbys and that is not saying much

Overall I find it to be over priced pedestrian fast food

I have better experience from the hood joints like hip hop chicken and fish

What about Baltimore? I saw a lot of maryland zip codes in the last thread

>>14851279
BRD chicken is amazing

I'm a Canadian and me and my dad took a vacation there once. There's a greasy spoon across the street from ford's theatre and it wa pretty good. I have fond memories because there was a 500lb man who used like a whole jar of sugar, 10 butter packs, and a half bottle of fake aunt Jemima syrup on his grits.
Me and my dad were killing ourselves laughing about as much a his diabetes was killing him.

Anyone else remember Roy's Place in Gaithersburg? I'd kill for a chickenchicken with goldsauce

>>14851045
How so?

>>14840002
Franklin's Brewery in Hyattsville

>>14852307
My nigga.

MDfag reporting in. If you like Ethiopian food, I recommend Lucy in Silver Spring and Etete and Dukem in DC. I also like Supra in DC for Georgian food (the country, not the state). Also, Jose Andres’ America Eats in Georgetown is really good. I haven’t been to DC since March so I can’t confirm which of these places are currently open.

>>14852339
I'm surprised to see someone familiar with it. I wish I was in a position to check out those recs, I'm merely a former MDfag. I remember going to a diner that was in College Park or maybe Bethesda. I was young though, don't remember much other than that it was quality.

>>14851471
lol how old are you?

that place closed down almost 8 years ago replaced with shitty latino money laundering business like all of old town gaithersburg

>>14852365
>diner that was in College Park
Plato's Diner? They had a fire and closed down.
>or maybe Bethesda
Tastee Diner? They're still around (and have been for a really long time).

>>14852339
I had Supra and some of the spicing was weird. The bbq pulled pork flatbread pizza was good but the one with beans had a weird flavor as did the dipping sauces. The herbs they use are kinda weird and for me taste off in some of the dishes. The cheese breads are great though.

>>14851471
>By the railroad tracks.
>"Nice cold sandwich"

Only went once but Roy was indeed at this table.

>>14852381

Is Summit Station still there? (Also by the railroad tracks.)

>>14852471
>this table

*his table

>>14852394
It was Plato's. Damn shame, I liked the 50s look it had. I haven't gone to Tastee before, but I lived closer to Hyattsville (in Cheverly, end of the orange line), so I'm ever so slightly more familiar with restaurants around there.

>>14845071
>Old Town

Ever been to Eamonn's? Or that meme "speakeasy" bar that got all that press, same owners? Is either even still open?

>walking by Misha's when they're roasting coffee

Nice.

>>14840002
>mid-atlantic in general.

>>/ck/thread/S14818903

hellloooooo, Havre de Grace!

Tippy's Tacos out in NOVA are always fantastic, McLean always has some good asian places but literally are spending $15 on an entree minimum so it's relegated as a once a week meal for poorfags such as myself.

>>14851124
Yeah Roy Rogers is probably going to be completely dead within 5 years outside of the odd store in New Jersey.

>>14852471
yes I do believe the station still runs

Never visited old town Gaithersburg besides getting my passport at the town hall

Most favorite place so far that has never let me down is this mom and pop Korean breakfast/lunch joint BLT Grill by the H-mart where a tranny was shot behind the back

>>14852701
>Tippy's Tacos out in NOVA are always fantastic

Tippy's? Didn't know they were still around, but looking at those NOVA location menus... yep, that's it. The College Park joint, which was renamed Terrapin Tacos at some point, had the best dive tacos ever. Then they moved down Rt. 1 to a larger and apparently more lucrative spot, near the frat houses--and then closed shortly after, probably couldn't afford the rent. Too bad.

>>14852489
Dude, Plato's was so good, god damn. I went there for afterparties when we'd finished the school play when I was back in high school, it was a more innocent time back then. I could get a plate of poutine fries and share them with the boys. When I heard it had burned I had to drive down to check that it was real, I couldn't believe it.

Shoutout to Bayside Bull open pit BBQ in Edgewater, MD

>>14853898
My fond memory was being taken to breakfast there by a neighbor who was like an aunt to me and my brothers. Shit was so cash, especially the hot chocolate, though I was 9 and easily impressed.

bump

We the Pizza is pretty good actually

Also I like Ted’s Bulletin and Lincoln’s Waffle House

>>14840002
>What are your secret spots and faves?
I've not been to the DC area for years, but places that do the local Chesapeake Bay crabs are very good. Don't go in good clothes. Do go with friends.

>>14840002
Good thread. Adding Van Ness Burger King. "Stephen King fever dream," worth it for the decor but not food. Very impressed nobody said Le dIpLoMaTe or Founding Farmers (particularly heinous.) Cafe Milano is for posers who determine their worth as a person by social proximity to the hill. Dan's Cafe is a dive bar for yuppies.

Nomination: Sichuan Pavilion. Seriously amazing and probably the only decent thing about K street. Decently priced, all things considered. Saw an old Chinese grandpa here once, long white beard, robes and all. food is good too. 10/10.

Also for "secret spots" - isn't there some unmarked cocktail speakeasy on Connecticut? not a restaurant but I think it still qualifies. Also curious about what u anons think about Bad Saint. waitlist is suppoedly thinning out thanks to corona but I'm still waiting to pull the trigger. Have you been anon? Is it worth it?

>>14856599
>secret spots

These are my favorite spots: Keren, los hermanos, mi cuba cafe, lapis, mt desert ice cream shop, and stochowskis.

>>14852307
I preferred it when it was just a deli and small shop.
Took them SEVERAL years after turning it into a brewpub/restaurant before the food was decent.

>>14856627

Roy Rogers.

Comet Ping Pong

>>14857691
Okay, Biden.

>>14857691
I was there once because one of my high school friends was in a band playing there. The pizza wasn't that great, and finding out that my money was going to support sodomy (even without pizzagate, the restaurant's still owned by two literal faggots) means I'm never going there again. I can get better pizza without supporting degens in their lifestyle to boot.

>>14857839
Hey, they got little girls too. Nothing wrong with little girls.

>>14857691
I went there for lunch once with my mom just cuz of memes. Pizza wasn't half bad.

>>14857839
The criticism was literally that it was owned by an openly gay man (how dare he!).

Stained Glass Pub right off Glenmont station has some of the best pizza and wings in the entire dmv
Don't bother having anything else though except the curly fries

>>14852339
My Ethiopian digs are Meaza in falls church and Enatye as it's nearby. My brother gets takeout from Enat near Bailey's and that was good. Kitfo, straight raw.

Kabob Palace.

The Crystal City version of DCs Ben's Chili Bowl, but with food people actually like. The place has been around forever. It's not the greatest. BUT, even with the damn COVID, you can still stroll on by at 2AM and get the same food they've been serving for years while every other pansy ass place, even 7-11s, are closed. Lamb Chops and bread are breddy gud.

bump

Anyone ever go to Vince and Dominic's in Bethesda? I've been searching for another pizza place to replace them ever since they closed, but nowhere else seems to make it the right way.

>>14840067
Jaleo was pretty good.

>>14858931
walked by that place so many times. will have to consider checking it out this time.

on a related note, I've heard pretty awful things about the crystal city gentlemans club. anybody want to confirm or deny?

Georgetown fag here. Curry & Pie is excellent, as is Martin’s if you’re looking for something upscale. Filomena is the best Italian food in the neighborhood

>>14861593
The CCR is quite miserable as a strip club, pasties only. However, they serve passable food, which is probably the only reason they are still open; to cater to an older government worker crowd who is hungry for lunch, and will overlook the older dancers there.

A MD shithead wrote this. Most of Arlington takes the metro instead of trying to drive through traffic

Fugg, this one's been on my hit list for so long.
As for jumbo slices in Adams Morgan, the one that's up the hill is better than the one that's down the hill. I ate both. I forget the names though and I can't be assed to look them up this late at night.

Just moved to china town. Someone give me the contra code to this shit hole.

lol

>>14873872
Meh, affordable place to live with good eats and easy access to major highways and metro.

And technically where i live in styled as "North Potomac"

>>14873763
>>14873848
it's the same price on both of these. Am i missing something?

For the crispy tacos, the sub option of fajita beef and chicken is an extra $2 which brings it up to $15.50 which is true on both menus.

>>14873898
its affordable for a good reason, you are a long drive from the city and with traffic even longer

>easy access to highways

lol

>metro

unreliable shitheap

>And technically where i live in styled as "North Potomac"

keep telling yourself that

>>14873936
>you are a long drive from the city
wat?
I'm 20 minutes from the edge of the city (Chevy Chase) and ~35-45 into downtown DC (union station) maybe longer if I were to go in rush hour, but that's not bad at all.

I'm 5 minutes from a metro station and if it were bad traffic into the city, the metro will get me to the edge of the district in 30 minutes and downtown in 40-45.

Saving $1000+/month on my rent is worth it.

>>14873960
Yeah and most people commute during rush hour so it is an hour each way or more.

>I'm 5 minutes from a metro station

yeah and then you have to wait for a train and hope it isn't full and that the whole system is not delayed and then you have to get from your destination station to the office itself eating up massive amounts of time each way

its cheap for a reason

if it were desirable to live there, it would be more expensive

>I'm 20 minutes from the edge of the city (Chevy Chase)

useless number lol since you aren't going just to the edge of the city

>Saving $1000+/month on my rent is worth it.

you give up hours of your day to waste stuck in traffic or riding a train that's WHY it is cheaper

time is money

>>14873975
>yeah and then you have to wait for a train and hope it isn't full
i'm at the end of the line, the trains start here, they literally can't be full.

Further, during rush hour (the only time i'd use the train since i don't work in the district), there are trains every 3-5 minutes.

>>14873975
You realize there are a LOT of jobs outside of DC right?
I live in a DC suburb as well, I go into DC for entertainment and food, not for work. Rush hour traffic considerations mean fuckall to a lot of us.
Your circumstances and desires don't align with other peoples, obviously if anon wanted to live closer to the city, he'd move.

>>14873985

>you are going to waste at least 2 hours a day if not more commuting by metro
what part of "I don't work in the district" do you not understand?

Why would I go to DC every day? ESEPCIALLY during rush hour?

>>14874017
You aren't really close to anything in Gaithersburg. It is cheap because you have to drive a lot to get anywhere basically. Most people who live in the DC suburbs (outside of fake virus tiem) tend to commute to DC every day during rush hour.

You are tethered to your car and can't really walk anywhere easily.

>>14874096
Lmao better than being a moron that lives in DC without a car, or worse a cuck that lives in DC with a car and has to find parking for it.

Unless you're wealthy enough to live in a VERY nice part of the district, I just don't get the appeal. I am close enough to go to DC for anything I actually care to do (concerts, shows, museums, dining, etc) and far enough away that I don't have to deal with tourists or DC traffic unless I want to.

Not to mention I enjoy heading up to Baltimore and Columbia for dining as well, why would I want to restrict myself to JUST the district when there is so much good shit in the area as a whole?

super chicken is based

>>14874109
I don't have a car but I can easily rent electric bikes or electric mopeds and get anywhere and Uber is cheap if those are not options.

>Unless you're wealthy enough to live in a VERY nice part of the district,

it isn't really so much about the area being nice as much as centrally located, georgetown is nice but still a bit isolated

>>14874122
Yeah fuck uber costs for anything significant.

I guess if we get our highspeed rail link between DC and Baltimore you could make an argument for that, but at the moment you're basically stuck in DC proper, or you're spending a stupid amount to uber outside the city and uber back in.

>>14874133
but that's kinda the point I don't really have to leave the city everything I need is here

I go with my dad (who has a car) to go hiking and that's all I need

uber gives you 20-40% off if you ride regularly it is crazy cheap compared to how much taxis used to be

and I get a neet discount on e bikes and e mopeds so they end up costing about 5-10 dollars an hour which really isn't bad either compared to the running cost of a car including gas and maint

>>14874167
I mean, I don't HAVE to leave the 4-5 block radius around me either, massive shopping center with tons of restaurants, bars, a target, grocery, store, banks, hair salon, movie theater, etc.

Is there more stuff to do within walking distance in DC? Of course, but I don't really want that, I ENJOY travelling to visit with friends in other parts of Maryland and Virginia, and DC.

I have a friend who like yourself, lives in capitol hill and doesn't own a car, and out of the friend group of ours, he gets left out the most often due to the lack of a vehicle. Unless he metros over to silver spring or shady grove, most of us aren't willing to make a drive down into the district JUST to pick him up to drive back out of the district to go to columbia or baltimore or whatever.


I'm glad you like living in DC anon, but try not to act SHOCKED that someone wouldn't want to live in the city. Especially with how much cheaper housing is outside of DC. It easily pays for car payments and then some.

>>14874202
its cheaper because its a lower quality of life and harder to get places

its more expensive to live closer to downtown because it is more desirable

>>14874269
Honestly I probably wouldn't live in DC even if the housing costs were identical. I prefer suburban life.

>>14874275
>I prefer suburban life

Cope.

>>14840002
Just my two cents, I worked at Bistro Aracosia in NW DC when I first got there. Phenomenal Afghan food and we routinely beat the Michelin and Bib Gourmand places in ratings on Open Table and Trip Advisor. Owner is the nicest guy in the world. Also has location in McLean.

Had a surprisingly shitty experience at Rasika tho. Rooster and Owl is excellent. Shamshiry is my go to for Persian. Annandale for Korean food.

I shilled for these in the zipcode thread already, but MAKI and Joe's Noodle House (both in Rockville) are pretty good. Joe's is my go-to Chinese food place.
Also, Akira Ramen is almost as good as Daikaya, without Daikaya-level waiting.

>Rooster and Owl is excellent.

I live less than a block from here. What's so great about this place? I always see yuppie faggots eating here.

Takes on Rose's Luxury? My mother loves the place, and goes there every year for her wedding anniversary. I've been back in town a few times around then so I've gotten taken along as well, I thought it was surprisingly good.

Apple House near Shenandoah has the best donuts

Reverie in Georgetown has the best burger in the city, their duck is amazing as well and just overall great food and drinks.

El Sol is a great hole in the wall Mexican spot, but if you're drinking I'd stop by Espita for some mezcal and tacos.

>>14876002
Rose's Luxury is pretty banging

Compass Rose is a great spot to chill at with cheap drink and incredible cheap food, think international's food truck type shit.

Ellē, Bresca, and Tail Up Goat are solid places with excellent food and drinks all-around.

Maydan & St. Anselm are places I've heard good things about but haven't had the chance to stop by.

The Dabney was solid food but definitely overhyped.

Astoria and New Big Wong are fucking bangers for late night food.

There are bunch I missed but cba to remember.

Everything popular in dc is overrated hipster bullshit

>>14857198

He was referring to my expert opinion on who's a cuck (i.e. your dad)

>>14877797
So you agree you're an expert on everything to do with being a cuck? Since you all seem to know each other

>>14877824
I'm the best at identifying them, plus I'm your mom's bull

>>14877797
you fucking suck at this lol

>>14877834
Not as much as your mom sucks while your dad watches ;)

>>14877829
So you have a lot of insight into recognizing cucks? Sounds like you know how to think like one, maybe even how to be one? It takes a lot of skill and knowledge to be such an expert at cuckery how long have you been doing it?

>>14877852
Not really I just get a call from your mom and your dad films from the closet.

>>14877863
Not really? I thought you said you were the best?

>>14877901
The best at fucking your mom? Yeah absolutely. Your dad is the best at watching.

>>14877907
How would you know? Do you watch him when you fuck her? Kinda weird not gonna lie, you know a lot of homosexuals hide their nature by fucking women, no shame in admitting your true nature.

>>14877918
He shows me the highlights later, complete with his play by play commentary. He's also a great cameraman.

>>14877923
All these compliments about my dad and none of my mom, seems like you have quite a thing for him. Well Im not one to kink shame if you can only get off with him in the room.

its tragic

because you literally cannot detect spiciness

all the food at federalist pig is coated in the same disgusting mix of prepackaged dried bulk spices and that makes it inedibly spicy and the whole block smells like low quality bbq potato chips when they are making the food

the kebab place was awful and I was so hopeful this would be better and it is not

Also 20009. I think someone else mentioned Astoria - try that. It brands itself as a bar but it's got really good sichuan food. Mapo tofu is good. They've got outdoor seating too

Tangentially related to restaurants: doesn't matter how good the restaurants are on a date, I still can't get over how bad the women are. It's like encountering a constant caricature of the modern western feminine ideal; soulless goals that center entirely around climbing the GS ladder along with hobbies that never extend far beyond the traditional foodie/netflix/wine trifecta. Speaking of wine: there are some passable wineries out in NOVA, though. Not great, not bad. Mostly the Virginia wine "industry" (if you can even call it that) seems like the kind of industry constantly describing itself as "up and coming" - except for the past 50 years. I've done Delaplane (good view but eh) and Bull Run (overrated) so far. Open to reccs

one of my friends is that chad. He has a few girls who he regularly fucks. All of them are in their late twenties and have good careers.

You know I am the peer of these women. I have a very nice townhouse and a lot of money in my bank account. Problem is my house looks like shit because I am not a soyboi faggot who gives a shit about such things. I am also considering changing my career because I do not care about the money but the purpose of the work. I actually intend on eventually buying some property in west virginia and working from home for the rest of my days.

This is definitely a wife desert and hopefully I will find a good wife once I leave this god forsaken land.

I'd hope so, I'm in Richmond and when I have metrofags give me shit, I always try to find an article talking about best food cities in the US, and for some fucking reason Arlington always pops up.

I'm just guessing and assuming he means women here want careers and to work a lot like men do rather than just be at home raising kids.

>>14885786
It's really interesting to hear about this divide. Seems like both genders here feel the same way, but for entirely different reasons. Men dislike the slutty professional ideal women here seem to be fixated on; women dislike men who are just fucking around and don't want a long term relationship. Probably those former factors inform the latter. There's a lot of overlap between the two. I don't really see a way out myself, either. My industry is tied to the region, and it's fulfilling and I enjoy it a lot, but I can't see myself staying and voluntarily marrying one of these women here. No wonder people move out to the 'burbs.

>>14885769
Tosokjip in Annandale is pretty good home-style korean lunch food. It's kind of a hole in the wall type place. Cheap too, but not sure where you are / how far you're willing to drive. Byblos Deli in Cleveland Park is nice too. Cheap greasy greek food; big portions. Owner is somewhat shizo and will warn you about government implanted ID chips.
