Potbelly
I realized there is a Potbelly near my client site. This is "The Wreck" it is very tasty and I got a macaroni salad. All for only $5.15!
Very Blury NY Deli
This was a slice of poppy seed sponge cake, corned beef and lemonade $9.09! Outrageous and not even that good.
Pork Loin "Potatoes"
This wasn't so good, and as for the potatoes, I question it, I'm pretty sure it was butter and Cheeze Wiz, with a bit of starch mixed in.
The Buffet
I got this from a buffet that charged you by the pound and I'm pretty sure mashed potatoes contain lead as this meal was over $10!

Pint of blackberries
Definitely the finest I've had, these fresh blackberries picked at Tarara Winery are as good as they look. And that's my opinion before the wine tasting took place. Tarara also makes a great dessert wine, Wild River Red, using these blackberries. From their site:
Wild River Red - Blackberries from our own berry patches are blended with red and white wine to make a popular fruity red wine. Sweet and light, serve this wine lightly chilled with a rich chocolate dessert or as an aperitif.

Scorecard
Can't grade your restaurants without a scorecard! So we found this site that contains the Virginia Health Department inspection reports for all restaurants in Alexandria, VA.
Ironically, Le Rongeur Raide has one of the better records in our neighborhood.
Reports for the rest of the state of Virginia can be accessed off the main VDH page. Alexandria link is now on the Links section on the left of our blog.
If nothing else, reading the reports works better than the Atkins Diet.

Cadbury Picnic Bar
Unlike many candy bars, the Cadbury Picnic Bar contains raisins. It's quite good, but the caramel leaks out and sticks to the wrapper, making it hard to unwrap and eat neatly. Still recommended.

Peas Paneer & Basmati Rice
Hmm boxed food that doesn't need to be refrigerated AND only had 20% of my sodium for the day. It even included a spoon and a tray.
Avoidance
Today's attempt to avoid Le Rongeur Raide involves a sandwich, chips, pear, and green iced tea. Not bad at all, but I still need coffee to make my afternoon complete and productive.

Le Rongeur Raide: chicken my ass
Our favorite go-to restaurant on bad-weather days, Le Rongeur Raide, has been experimenting with upgrading their ambience experience recently. They have tried some aroma marketing that we believe has backfired. The smell of something whose soul has shuffled off this mortal coil several days prior has had the opposite effect of what they probably intended. This customer for one may not eat there much anymore. At least now we know why they didn't always have some of the specialty dishes on the menu every day.

Wasabi in a tube
I couldn't resist trying this. It's wasabi in a tube! It's creamier than the wasabi you normally get with sushi, and also hotter. Just don't use it as toothpaste by mistake.

Five Day Old Lasagna
This is five day old Lasagna from Bruscato's I tried heating it up via the oven, but I was too hungry to wait so I threw it in the microwave for two minutes, it was washed down with flat Coke from a two liter, that was a little flat and followed up with a DrumStick
