There's a butcher/grocery in Laurel across from Laurel-Beltsville Hospital.
When we lived in Laurel, we used to get our meats there.  Very good.  Great
subs as well.  Unfortunatly, I don't remember the name.

There's also a small grocery/butcher on Road Island have and
Powdermill Rd.  We used to get our meat there (good bacon), but it's
been a few years.  If they're still in business give 'em a try.

Of the two, I think the Laurel one was better.

Re the availability of snake & alligator in DC:

RT's in Alexandria serves a very tasty Alligator stew.  I have also bought
alligator meat at Fresh Fields in Rockville (at the fish counter).  I suspect
you could get them to order snake for you as well.

Everyone says that everyone else says anything they haven't eaten tastes
like chicken.  Hmmmmm...  Makes you wonder about chicken.

La Choza looked interesting to me. I'll try it on your rec.

We like an Ecuadoran place On  Columbia Pike in Arlington, called

Restaurante Abi Pupusas y Tacos.

Pupusa is a stuffed tortilla. That is, there is a filling INSIDE the pancake. It
is often cheese, sometimes meat. The whole thing is shallow-fried in oil, and
served wrapped in a towel, just like a flat taco. It is about 1/4" thick, and
slightly more interesting than a plain taco. Worth examining.

Abi has some delicious foods. Great broiled chicken, dusted with spices and
grilled until golden.

One reasonably priced French restaurant that I like is L'Escargot in Cleveland Park.  
The food is good and two people can eat there for about $50-$60 including one glass of 
wine each.

The restaurant next door, Lavandou, is supposed to be good too.  It is the only French
restaurant in DC that is dedicated to the cuisine of a single region of France (Provencal), 
according to P. Richman.  I believe that it has reasonable prices too. 

Of course there's always Au Pied De Chochon in Georgetown.  It's not as fancy as the
two mentioned above, but it's open 24 hours and it has a laid back atmosphere.  Bistro
Francais is also in Georgetown and has an early bird special most nights.  The special 
includes salad or soup, an entree, dessert and coffee (I think), and runs around $30-$40 
for two. 

On Veteran's Day I tried a crepe place called Crepe Ala Carte on Connecticut Ave just south
of Dupont Circle.  The food was nice and fresh, and the menu had an appealing list of crepes 
and sandwiches, but I thought it was a bit expensive given the portion sizes.  In absolute 
terms, however, it wasn't expensive.  Lunch for two was $20 including tax, tip, etc., and I 
think the dinner prices are the same. 

Anybody else have other suggestions, or comments about these places?

Yuk.

I liked this place on one visit, but the next visit was a disaster.

My friend (who is an avid gourmet food/wine guru), and I brought a favorite
bottle of wine to L'Escargot, planning our usual (high-budget) feast.
When we showed the waiter the wine and asked about a corking fee, he
talked to the maitre d' then told us we would not be able to drink the 
wine there.

My friend and I have taken wines into many DC restaurants, from the finest
to the weakest.  We have been charged anywhere from nothing to $20, which
we think is fine.  A few restaurants (very few) have stated that they 
do not allow the practice.  This, too, though disappointing, is fine.

We asked if we could talk to the boss.  The maitre d' came over and told
us it was "against the law" for him to open our wine.  We were stunned.
We told him that this was simply not the case (Phyllis Richman publishes
corking fees!), and asked him why.  He insisted, even after we explained
to him that we knew the wine laws, that it was against the law.

The fact was the man wanted to sell us a bottle of wine.  We bought
a bottle and ate the mediocre food. 

We will not further patronize a place that holds its customers in such 
low esteem as to lie to them.

Subject: Best Lunch in Arlington, VA
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1992 08:34:43 -0500

My vote for best lunch in Arlington?  The Grill in Park III Restaurant, in #3
Crystal Park, Crystal Drive, Crystal City.  It may or may not last long, but
here is the scoop for now.  As I understand it, Charles E. Smith built the
restaurant on the top floor of the #3 Crystal Park building as a private club,
sold memberships, etc.  Never sold enough to make it work, opened it to the
limited public (read that, elite or $), didn't break even, opened it to the
general public (read that most of us who are echo junkies, except perhaps you in
case I offended you), and that isn't working real well.  The place is beautiful
(perhaps the best looking restaurant in Arlington, with certainly one of the
best views), very high ceilings, very private dining areas or open and spacious
rooms depending on your choosing, top floor overlooking National Airport and the
river and the Washington Mon. and the Capitol, etc), high prices at night.  In
the Grill (read that bar area) lunch is $4.95 all you can eat:  salad, soup, a
cold lunch (define that sandwiches you make yourself), two hot vegetables and
two hot lunches.  This isn't Safeway salad bar, folks.  It is delicious.  They
now even give you a card where if you buy 6 lunches, the 7th lunch is free. 
Still few people.  They don't advertise.  Their phone is (703) 979-PARK.  Don't
bother to call for reservations, but try it and let me know how you like it...

I'm selling my GRiD 1550sx laptop to get a desktop '486 machine that

	GRiD 1550sx with a 386sx at 20MHz
	120 MB hard disk
	4 MB RAM (expandable to 8 MB)
	LCD VGA with external VGA monitor port
	3.5 in 1.44 MB floppy
	Internal 2400 baud MNP 5 Modem
	2 *additional* serial ports (3 total, including the modem)
	External keyboard port, printer port, and expansion buss
	DRDOS 6.0 with SuperStor compression software (/w disks and manual)

	Spare battery (total of 2)
	Wide selection of PD software, including TeX, Demacs, Lisp, etc
	(All commercial software will include disks, manuals, and

This is a classic GRiD in the black magnesium case.  It's been an
excellent computer --- both for portable and desktop use.  On the
road, I use it as a regular laptop with the built-in keyboard and
mouse and at home I plug in a full-size keyboard and use it as a
desktop.  It has been more than powerful enough for any use so far
(including large spreadsheets, APL II, C++, and TeX), but I am
starting dissertation research on a Ph.D. in computational mathematics
and I will need more speed for that.

Price: $1600.
