Food.Fun.Stuff: Know Your Restaurant!
Know Your Restaurant
While out at a social gathering recently, the conversation turned to good restaurants to visit while in the District. Of course, the questions are now directed towards JKGF because she must know Everything in the food world of D.C. (*which is not an overstatement, but there's still more to eat and more to learn...;-) So now, being put in a position to suggest, restaurants such as Kaz Sushi Bistro, Matchbox and Marvin's roll off the tongue. Immediately the dialogue turns to "I don't like Marvin's". This post was written for comments as such:
The key to going out and at the very least attempting to have a good dining experience (*well, we know at JKGF the service, among other things is outside of your control, and plays a key factor in the experience as well...we are discussing here your more personalized attempt;-) is to Know the type of restaurant you are going to! This is key because you'll get to Matchbox expecting the best seafood of your life, when Matchbox is really best known for their delicious pizzas and sliders. So in this instance, when JKGF suggested Marvin's and the person in the room responded "Uugghh, I did not like that place, the food was not good"...we immediately asked "What did you order?"...At this point, we can't remember what they ordered but it wasn't anything relating to the main concept of the restaurant, which is it was based on Marvin Gayes time that he spent in Belgium. When we think of Belgium, we're thinking steak and frites (*we can assure you this person did not order steak and frites...).
Now not to say that everything offered on a restaurants menu should not be delicious, but it's easier for us to understand why we probably didn't like the seafood at Matchbox as much as we did at Tony and Joe's or some other spot boasting a fresh seafood menu. Now we would have a problem if the pizza at Matchbox was off point...we're just sayin'....
*Tell us your thoughts??
