I’d definitely recommend it as one of the best options downtown.

Never tried Shophouse but there’s a chain called Bibibop that is essentially an Asian chipotle. Solid bowls with lots of veggie options. Seems relatively nutritious on the surface too but I haven’t dug into it

It’s almost always full when I go past it

Couldn't read the Post article but found this

Building “Patriot’s Row” LLCs linked to the Conservative Partnership Institute bought up several properties, clustered around one prime block in Capitol Hill.

In all, Grid traced nine D.C. properties purchased in the past 14 months.

not a lot of info out there. New DCist post out today makes it sound like there's just a lot of work that needs to be done to get back up to code

I would literally kill for them to come back. That green curry…

The food was good if you ordered correctly. But unlike Chipotle, where any mix of the ingredients is pretty good, if you made some poor decisions you could end up with something truly bad. That was a fatal flaw in the concept.

For B… I don’t need a B I think you need to tell me why Jim Demint buying property in DC means you run to the wallet to give the ADL cash.

I dont think you are this naive

So i just assume you are just intentional

Mandalay is open for business again! They had some kind of an issue with the building they were remodeling on Georgia Ave that they were supposed to move into, so they re-opened the Silver Spring location.

It's Jon Minadeo of the Goyim Defense League that scares me .

Trump had lunch with two antisemites: Kanye and Nick Fuentes

I miss ShopHouse too. Closest thing I’ve had lately is Bandoola Bowl in Western Market in Foggy Bottom. The food is solid. Per the WM website:

Bandoola Bowl is a Southeast Asian salad shop bringing the flavors of Burma, Vietnam, Thailand and beyond straight to your bowl using fresh, flavorful ingredients. Founders the Myint family are three generations of Burmese natives who have also owned and operated Burmese restaurant Mandalay in Silver Spring, Md. for nearly 20 years.

Well for 1 GDL doesn’t support Trump or MAGAas they view him and the movement as Israeli and Jewish aligned to the hilt. See Trumps record and statements…

For B… I don’t need a B I think you need to tell me why Jim Demint buying property in DC means you run to the wallet to give the ADL cash.

Bandoola bowl in Western Market is pretty similar. Not quite the same, but has the same SE Asian flavors in a casual choose your ingredients vibe. You could give that a try.

Yes, that, the green curry sauce, and rice noodles (I think) is exactly what I would order.

What don't I understand? Pls enlighten me .

You need to better understand your enemy…

My eyes are watering right now thinking about their spicy deliciousness. I have a good Shophouse story. Through the incompetence of a doctor, I was told I was in "early labor." After a day of getting the runaround, and not letting me eat, and telling me I was going to have to stay in the hospital for 7 more weeks, I got up and much to GW's dismay, walked right the F out. Then I got on the metro, went to Dupont and sat my ass down at Shophouse to eat. Husband calls, "Where are you?" me: On the metro. Him: You're in labor and on the metro? me: I'm not in freaking labor, I know what labor is and this isn't it. Now I'm hungry and I'm going to Shophouse. Him: you have literally turned into your father before my eyes...

I loved it too, but for some stupid reason, I didn't visit enough the last months . How sorry I am cuz the flavors were so unique

Does anyone have recipe suggestions?

What do they mean by MAGA campus? Any study involved?

After reading this, I decided to add the anti-defamation league to my list of monthly donations. I'm sure they have huge donations from the community that is being attacked.

Trump and his team should be rotting in prison. But even that isn't enough . He's awakened the worst hate movement possible.

REALLY NOT excited about this, but I think it’s dangerous to try to limit who can buy/sell property based on their political beliefs.

Totally not a cult.

I used to crush their meatballs when I worked near Georgetown in the mid 2010s
