Urban roast. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, twice. But it was just plain gross

District Taco 10 years ago was amazing. I moved away and back and now it sucks :-(

Cafe Milano. The food is mid, but every celebrity drops by there when they visit DC. It gets by on the crowd it draws.

La Vie - epitome of a place where people who think they are influencers go to take pics of the "vibes" but the food is literally choke and puke.

The food at Kramer’s Books in Dupont used to be EXCELLENT. (Cute chefs too 👀) I went recently and it was absolute crap. Even the dessert sucked. Too bad because they expanded the bar … now you can actually find a place to sit, but who would want to? I live in the neighborhood and used to be there on a regular basis. No longer.

I’ve lived in DC off and on for 24 years, been on Reddit and other boards, and it seems Ben’s Chili Bowl has never been as good “as it used to be.”

Grand Boucherie is probably the most mid French food I’ve ever had. Every single thing I ate there was at least 100% better at Le Dip.

Not nasty. I’m not a fan of Founding Farmers. Just doesn’t live up to the hype.

Oohs and Aahs. Overhyped asf!! The DMV has some great things, but soul food is not one of them.
