Bon Chon!!!

If you like hot wings this is the place is the meca of hot wings!!

Bon Chon is an adventure to get to all the way out of the city in the country (Annandale, VA) BUT it is well worth the journey!

Bon Chon serves Korean double fried chicken the length of your (well mine at least ) hand. Wings come in 2 flavors hot and sweet, I recommend getting some of both. The only other food option i saw was fries (which I recommend they compliment the wings very well). As for drinks the only kind we ventured with was beer, you can get it in 1,000cc; 2,000cc or 3,000. Of course we went with the 3,000cc which came in a huge oak barrel with a spigot. My last bit of advice is call ahead to reserve a table; order your food it will be ready when you arrive otherwise you will have to wait 45min for them to cook the wings and be ready to eat!

Over all this place is AMAZING and just writing about it makes me start craving it again.

SEI - lunch

SEI is amazing sushi! I love the atmosphere, the staff is very welcoming I had to wait for my lunch mate while i sat at the bar they were very nice chatting to me. Once my lunch partner arrived they notified me and we were sat immediately. The sushi was fantastic! I loved everything we ate (at times we did't know exactly what we eating but it was great). It was a little expensive, I would go back if I had a suga daddy buying. :)

Cava Mezze - DC

I went to Cava Mezze - DC with some co-workers for lunch last week. The atmosphere was nice nothing to special but there was an outdoor patio. We decided to sit out on the patio, which was great for people watching on 8th street but that caused the service to be slow. The hummus was amazing and the fresh pita bread was great when we actually got it. Overall it was okay I may go back just for the hummus but not for the service. Oh and DON'T get the sangria, it was horrible.

Ulah Bistro

This gem is found right atop the U St Metro (13th street exit). there are plenty of tables outside to sit amongst the flowers on the patio. The food is really good, homey at times and don't pass on the fries if you help it. They have great dinner specials and 1/2 price bottles of wine if one person at the table orders a dinner special. The dinner special includes a salad, main course and a desert! I have been here many times now with my family and friends and have had an amazing experience every time! This place is turning into one of my go to restaurants. :)

Thai Tanic

Last night Danielle and I had a delicious dinner at Thai Tanic in Logan Circle. Everything was tasty and inexpensive, from the house drinks to the entrees. AND, the portions were huge, which makes for a great lunch today. My favorite.

Note: There is also a second location in Columbia Heights.

The Greek Spot

Jenny and I ordered from the Greek Spot (located next door to Chix) for dinner tonight. I'm certainly not an expert on Greek cuisine, but I'd say it was a pretty legit Greek food. Everything was really delicious and filling. I had the spanakopita which came with orzo pasta and green beans for $9. Not bad! Jenny had a falafel which she reports to be divine.
