MeFi IRL

REM said not to do it, but we're incorrigible. Let's sample some of the area's very best dim sum in Rockville. We'll plan to line up around 11:30. Bring cash...and an empty stomach! [more inside]

International food fans of DC rejoice, we're back for August and heading to Mama Chang, the newest spot in the Peter Chang empire, for family-style Chinese dining in Fairfax. [more inside]

Hello FOODIES and welcome to the planning thread for our July meetup! (Sorry, I know that title pun is terrible.) Everyone seemed pretty interested in dim sum when we met up earlier this month, and my research suggests that Gourmet Inspirations in Silver Spring, MD (near the Wheaton Red Line stop) is the area's sleeper hit, both better-reviewed and apparently less-crowded than its competitors. For anyone who doesn't know what dim sum is, it's Hong Kong-style brunch tapas and it is delicious! Usually lots of dumplings and pastries are involved. Update: Date/time confirmed, hope to see you there! [more inside]

DC MeFi goes to "the best Chinese restaurant Washington, DC has had, ever". Going with September 19th since it looked like weekends were a good bet and some folks wanted something later in the month. If enough people are interested and the weather is nice, let's meet at the Arboretum a little earlier and walk up to the restaurant. [more inside]

So, Koi Palace is the Best Chinese Restaurant in the US according to some dude. And it's in Daly City, just a short hop from San Francisco. Tuesday, 6:30pm to beat the long wait for tables. I have six yeas so far, ten and we can do a fixed price menu (see menu link in discussion).

Next lunch will be at Chen's Good Taste (no website of their own, sorry), located on NW 4th near the Chinatown gate. We meet once a week for lunch somewhere downtown. It's good opportunity to try places you might not have been or go to an old favorite! [more inside]
