DCDC's Bulletin

Some things are better in black and white and some things are better explained using 1920's slang. Ted's Bulletin is no exception with it's newspaper-like menus, its black and white "talkies" and its "hotsy-totsy" food.

We heard ratings up to 9.75 for the decadent cream-topped chocolate milkshake. "And how!" Chris was the "big cheese" with his peanut butter burger. If he had been using 1920s slang, he would have described his burger as the "bee's knees." Rachel describes her fish and chips as the "cat's pajamas." Matt Foulger and Cardon said their meatloaf was "swell." Abby and I both thought that our turkey burgers were "copacetic."

The only person we wanted to "bump off" that night was the "dumb dora" who butt in front of us, plunked down at the adjacent table and ruined any chance of our group sitting together. One note about the restaurant is that the dining area is small and large groups need to get there at least an hour early to be seated together.

So, all-in-all, Ted's Bulletin was "nifty" and neat, coming in with an average rating of 9.0. It was the "real McCoy."

Founding Dinner: Rosa Mexicano & Red Velvet Cupcakery

Let us not forget the first evening where the DC dinner club was founded!

It was at
Rosa Mexicano & Red Velvet Cupcakery

and it was to die for.
(especially the guac and cupcakes!)

Talkie Attire

Here's the dress code for Ted's Bulletin; you have several options:

1.) Wear only black & white.

2.) Dress up like this guy.

3.) Bring a black permanent marker, and we'll draw the 'stache on you at dinner.

I'd also like to request that throughout dinner, people only refer to movies as "the talkies." I'm excited to see everyone tomorrow!

ted's bulletin

Thursday eve we will return to capitol hill to check out Ted's Bulletin, an American restaurant that has been described as classy and gritty. Ted's features b&w movies, a throwback newspaper theme, and contains remnants from the Philadelphia Convention Center.

505 8th Street Southeast. Near the eastern market metro.
(bonus...they serve breakfast anytime!)

We, The Pizza

This week the DC Dinner Club will eat Italian with a patriotic American twist at We, The Pizza, former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn's new restaurant on Capitol Hill.

We, The Pizza arrived on the Capitol Hill scene in July 2010, and the clubbers are anxious to see if Mendelsohn does pizza as well as he does burgers (Good Stuff Eatery, next door, is a favorite of several clubbers). His hope in opening the restaurant was to establish a laid back environment and use simple ingredients to create New York style pizza.

Dinner will be at 6:30 PM, and two clubbers, Matt and Abby, will arrive between 6 and 6:15 PM to begin gathering seats. Any other clubbers who can make it are also encouraged to come early, and if you'd like, check out the menu ahead of time.

The restaurant is located at 305 Pennsylvania Ave., SE. Here are directions from the Capitol South Metro Station, which is just over a quarter mile away.

And remember, "All we are saying, is give (pizza) a chance." -John Lennon, as adapted by We, The Pizza

I want to go to there...
