Weekend food wrap
Who can seriously chastise someone for trying to fight boredom with food when there's just so much good stuff to eat?
Amsterdam Falafelshop: Yes, the jumbo slice is very good. Yes, people get insane cravings for it that lead them to go miles out of the way for it at odd hours. However, it's greasy, occasionally nausea-inducing and makes you feel like a glutton for about a day and a half. Luckilly, this oft-praised new joint on the 18th Street strip deserves all the props it gets. The falafel itself is made fresh on the spot by a guy who looks like Moamar Qadhaffi and the toppings are self-serve, so you can douse your chickpea balls with as much sauce as you'd like.
Five Guys: You know exactly how you'll feel one bite into a Five Guys bacon cheesebueger. All will be right with the world for about two minutes. Your hunger will be sated, your problems will melt into a greasy abyss of rich, meaty goodness. Of course, your productive capacity will be null for about two hours after the meal, but is that such a high price to pay for a cheap, quick high that doesn't endanger your security clearance? Now that they're in the District proper, we'll all be junkies soon.
The rest of my weekend? Eeh. At least A.G. is back. But the food, well, it almost makes wasting two beautiful days and getting a flat tire on my bike worthwhile.
ALSO: How Friday night at DC9 went horribly awry.
