@gansie "Let's make it weirder" is a constant phrase in our kitchen. "Elegant mess" fits too. Bigger challenge is to name the dish to sell it. You go through 4-6 different descriptions until it clicks.

@rachsyme Hachiya persimmons, the astringent kind. Your brain says c'mon, take a bite, it's nice and orange, sitting there alone, waiting to ripen... Mmm, this is not that bad - go on - then by the end it punishes you with a raisin face and a carpet tongue!

@Cookthoughts Steeped it in custard and made ice cream with black currant a while ago. It was insane. Humble rye.

@jigolden @dappervan Yes, responsible customers get penalized due to other's lack of consideration. We dance this stressful, unspoken dance of assumptions, past experiences and expectations with customers as you never know which way it's going to turn.

@jigolden @dappervan If you consider the fact that most restaurants hold the reservation for 10-15 min grace period - the end result is you loose your table/reservation and are considered a walk in after a while.

@jigolden Besides assigning a smaller table when 3 people show up instead of 6 - perhaps not to take away server's attention. Incomplete parties take a lot of back and forth usually. Especially now with staffing issues. We don't do that though (no waiting area 😅).

@Cookthoughts Yes, if you can easily afford it. Preferably go somewhere abroad. No if it puts you in so much in debt it becomes a disadvantage.

@gdanielagalarza @kittenwithawhip Massive pickled tomatoes. When you break the skin of one, it floods your mouth with pickly seedy tomato tsunami!

[Tysons Partnership @tysonspartners]

Restaurant Week is running through August 15 and there are some great Tysons options! Make sure you book ahead!

@Cookthoughts An individual (including you) is as important as the team - do not be pushed into sacrificing yourself for the greater good. It's not war. It's teamwork.

@LauraHayesDC None exist. We did LT inspired tastings pre covid as our chef is Lithuanian.
