The Good Rabbi's Blog

This past week the girlfriend came out to visit, which provided me with the first real opportunity (other than take-out) to try out some of the restaurants in town. The first stop on my culinary tour (well, it was actually the second stop, but it's the first review I'm writing) is The Stinking Rose.

One of the questions I'm asked a lot is what my favourite restaurant is here in the D.C. area. For some reason, people expect that because I'm a professional chef, I am going to say Citronelle, or something of that ilk. These people are then very surprised when I come back with a restaurant like Five Guys (a burger joint that started in the D.C. area, and which is quickly expanding up and down the east coast). What gives?
