If UK-based noodle chain Wagamama had an American baby, it would be DC Noodles. The restaurant, which opened in the beginning of February, promises Wagamama-like values: simple, fast and fresh Asian fusion cuisine, centered around the beloved noodle.
The Chocolate Lovers Festival is happening this weekend, Feb. 7-8, in locations all over Fairfax. The events sound lame — a “friendship raffle,” a Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, and something called “Scouts and Crafts” — but the concept of free chocolate completely overshadows embarrassment. Sexy Food Network celebrity chef and CakeLove Warren Brown will be at [...]
Cheap food in the Golden Triangle is only reserved for the safari-jungle-man-photojournalists and writers of National Geographic, in a dorm-style dining hall tucked away in the courtyard of the National Geographic Society building. You need a special card to get in (just like college!), but you can sneak in by waiting until somebody else opens [...]
Wednesday, Jan. 28: J. Chocolatier, a D.C.-based brand of chocolates and candy, is throwing a tasting event at ACKC Cocoa Gallery at 6:30PM. You know what that means: free chocolate. [ACKC]
Bethesda/Chevy Chase’s restaurant week begins today, HOORAY! Bethesda pretty much sucks, but they are trying.
Indian restaurants in D.C. tend to be cheap n’ forgettable (Naan and Beyond, Taste of India) or good, but unbearably expensive (The Bombay Club).

George Bush Junior has somehow been president for eight years, and it’s no great surprise that much of the experience has been lost on him. All the ceaseless, pointless wars? The destruction of a major U.S. city? The collapse of our financial system? The cold fact that Americans are significantly dumber, fatter, sicker and poorer [...]
A feature in yesterday’s Washington Post Food section very liberally suggests, with a garish math graphic as its weapon, that Americans should use Thanksgiving as an opporunity to learn about eating “green” and reducing one’s carbon footprint. Behold, the language of the new Obama-style post-socialism: “A holiday all about seasonal food presents a real opportunity [...]
Hey everyone, what are you having for dinner tonight? Ha ha, we already know the answer and it’s NOTHING, because there is no longer any food in the world. As you may have heard in the news, the world’s most powerful leaders are convening this week for their annual G8 summit, which is being held [...]
Here is your “Thursday Fun Link,” an article about the Doodys, a Family of Faggot Fans. Our favorite sentence: “The competition was organised by faggot producer Mr Brain’s Faggots.” [BBC]
With its elderly crazy people and crappy cafeterias, everything about the U.S. Senate says “rest home.” But America’s ancient legislators may soon get some better food, at least. Various old senators wandering around one night last week agreed by “voice vote” to privatize all the “food” service, ending what Sen. Diane Feinstein calls “noticeably subpar” [...]
