Why You are Doing D.C. Wrong, And How Le Diplomate Can Help

7/7/2017

Take me back, s'il vous plaît! This quaint, bustling brasserie located on 14th Street NW, draws inspiration from the Boulevard Saint-Germain cafes in Paris. The Eggs Norwegian— two smoked salmon eggs Benedict— and succulent Duck Sarladaises— a combination of two of France's most storied dishes— tell your taste buds one thing, je t'adore (I love you!).

But it was their superbly season roasted potatoes that surprised me most. This southwestern French side dish is traditionally prepared in duck fat, and at Le Diplomate it pairs well with the sauce hollandaise, which comes with the Eggs Norwegian.

P.S. If you have yet to visit Le Diplomate, then you're not doing DC right.

As a little boy I would repeatedly say, "A mí me gusta comer y dormir." "I like to eat and to sleep."

Some things never change. I still love doing both.

D.C. is full of great places to eat, as is the rest of America. As such, I will now write restaurant reviews. (Maybe I secretly want to become the next Anton Ego from the Disney movie Ratatouille... who are we kidding, I'm not mean, that dude is simply a jerk!)

I digress.

P.S. by Paulo will not be a boring blog critiquing food, I will be pithy but more importantly brief... because who wants to spend a lot of time reading when you can spend it eating.

P.S. stands for postscriptum, Latin for postscript or afterthought, and the two letters also happen to be my initials. (I see what you did there, Paulo!) I will share my "afterthought" whenever I visit a new restaurant in town. Basically, I am now a food critic, but a nice one unlike Anton Ego!

So do this hungry hippo... err man a favor, and let your friends know about it!
