Food review, DC

"I get full just watching you" -- my practicum supervisor, watching me dine.

FOOD REVIEW

Busboys and Poets, 14th between U and V, NW
Faaaabulous, just ignore the pain in your lower back while hunched over coffee tables (sitting on couches). Pizza with pesto sauce divine, prices surprisingly reasonable, bookstore in the restaurant to entertain in case your date induces narcolepsy.

Red Hot and Blue, Rosslyn
Charming chain, lovely iced margaritas, BBQ galore. Tasty fried okra and potato salad, drinks served in a mini-pitchers that makes gay boys squeal "that's soooo cute!!!"

Washington Hotel
Sensational view of White House, Monument, and a bunch of stuffy white people paying too much for mediocre food. Burgers start at $9, but worth it for the view.

Mamma Lucias, College Park
Like a psychotic mix of Olive Garden and Fazoli's (no kidding --white linen tablecloth while bread and olive oil is served in a red basket and wax paper). Strip mall restaurant shooting for high class prices with McDonald's-style layout and decor.

Cake Love, U Street
Cake, pie, and brownie heaven- at least visually. Loses appeal after first bite, including the bite it takes out of your wallet (cupcakes start at $3.50). Tastier after a few drinks, cute café-style place void of florescent lighting.
