Way to go, New York Times.

24 July 2007

NYT wrote an article about Sticky Fingers Bakery. But it’s not very interesting.

Don’t waste your time, actually.

It wouldn’t make much sense…

22 July 2007

Okay, I have some sad news: I’m moving to North Carolina. I’ve decided I want to pursue a degree in Geography, which isn’t offered at AU. I’ll be taking a year off between schools and then hopefully going to UNC. So I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense for me to keep up a blog called Yum, DC! (I’m going to do my best to start one in NC, but we’ll see.)

The good news? This blog will (hopefully) not end! I’m going to pass it on to my friend, Scott Lane who is an experienced vegan here in the District. In fact, he’s been helping me hit up all the vegan places I haven’t experienced in my last two weeks. Here’s what we had at our trip to Great Sage last week…

Busboys & Poets and Breakfast

18 April 2007

First of all, I went to Busboys and Poets last night and had the Vegan pizza, which I can’t say was more than just good. It wasn’t phenomenal, but they do use vegan cheese & it does taste like pizza. It comes with typical pizza-esque veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach) and is like $10. I wouldn’t recommend making a trip to Busboys just to eat it, but if you ever find yourself there (and very hungry — it was huge) it’s not a bad option. But in all honesty, I wish I had gotten a salad or something.

(I also saw two shows at the 930 club last night: the Books with Todd Reynolds & Ratatat along with Hexa and Despot. The Books were absolutely incredible, as was Todd Reynolds. Hexa was just okay. Despot was pretty cool. Ratatat would have been a lot better had dumb drunk people not gotten on stage and proceeded to make fools out of themselves. In fact, Ratatat actually stopped a song to tell people to get off the stage. The crowd was so obnoxious that I actually left early.)

Today I made cranberry pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious! (Sorry the picture isn’t that great. Not much natural light.)

DC Restaurant Review: Pumpernickel’s

13 April 2007

Woohoo! Today I went with my good (vegan) friend, Miss Brittany Grow, to a wonderful little vegan deli in northwest DC. Pumpernickel’s is one of those quaint little family-owned delis in the middle of DC suburbia. However, they offer a ton of vegan and vegetarian selections. And we aren’t talking like salads or tomato and lettuce sandwiches. Take, for example, cute/happy Brittany and her excellent vegan reuben…
