These are the opinions and adventures of a Washington, D.C.-based epicure as he cooks and eats around town and around the country. Sometimes witty, sometimes laudatory, sometimes acid, La Cuvée Americaine is an always-truthful account of the food journeys, restaurant visits, and culinary thoughts of the D.C. Gourmand.

D.C. Cafe, Washington, D.C.
After church tonight, I had dinner unexpectedly alone at D.C. Cafe, which is an odd sort of Lebanese cuisine place and pizzaria in one in the Dupont Circle area. I had lamb shawarmas (think flautas or eggrolls made with pita bread) with a tasty tabouli (heavy on the parsley rather than the tabouli, and even had a touch of minced mint leaves), hummus, and that sour cream/yogurt and cucumber thing they use as a meat condiment, and then for dessert some kind of traditional semolina pudding with honey garnished with ground pistachio nuts.
