Good Eats and BAD Eats


So on Friday night, and and a my friend decided to check out this restaurant called Busboys and Poets in the U St area. The name of the restaurant inspired by the African American poet Langston Hughes, and is supposed to be a place for artist/writers to work in a creative atmosphere and enjoy great food while they're at it. I loved this place; it had a great vibe to it, and a superfluous diverse menu, that would satisfy all types of urges no matter what you were feeling. I had the salmon, which was very good.



This is my food after I attacked it when it was first brought out to me; it was soooo good. Lol. I managed to snap some shots of the restaurant as well.



Though this was a great choice, we also made a not so great choice of restaurants on Saturday afternoon. So, I've had this app on my iPhone called Urbanspoon; you know that app that you always play with whenever everyone is trying to make a decision on where to eat, but you NEVER actually go to any of the options it picks out for you. Well I was feeling spontaneous on Saturday, and decided what the hell, I'm going to eat at whatever restaurant this app spits at me. So I shake it, and the first restaurant to pop up is this place called Eat First in Chinatown. I think to myself, hmmm it's cheap, and it's walking distance from my place; sounds like a plan! So we go, and we get there, and there are literally dead chickens hanging in the back. DEAD mother FREAKING chickens. WHAT THE BUMP! If you look closely in the back right of this photo behind the coke fridge you can see them.


SO for some reason, my dumbass thinks it's a good idea to eat here anyway. Well I get my food, and it actually looks and smells great.

So, I eat this entire plate of food; yeah I know, it was a lot. I eat this food, and it's great. 5 hrs late, I seriously feel like I'm someone has stuck a needle in my stomach; I couldn't move or walk, and I felt like I wanted to throw up. IT WAS THOSE DAMN CHICKENS! My suggestion is if you are ever in Chinatown, please DON'T eat here!! I felt so horrible, I ended up catching a fever, my head starting spinning, it was bad.

Well that's my two cents on places to eat and places not to eat in DC!
