| Steak Chimichurri at The Well Dressed Burrito |
40 years. That’s how long @welldressed has been around. They’re (relatively) hidden in an alley near 19th & M, and my 1st visit arrived via (@wonder) delivery; but aside from the worst chips & salsa in the DMV, I actually enjoyed my dinner a lot. The tortilla chips were bitter/stale, and my salsa closer resembled a poor-man’s salad instead of pico de gallo. Lettuce? No thank you. Only $1.99 & $1/29 (not so) respectively, but still an F. The grilled steak (5 generous, well-seasoned strips) were delicious, even better with a zesty Chimichurri & Brazilian Garlic-Herb Sauce duo B+ atop a dozen or so steak fries B. I still haven’t tried a trademark burrito 🌯 yet, but I’m now looking forward to it.
Grade: B (even with the chips & salsa.)

| The Jib with French Fries at Wheelhouse |
Dinner at the new Wheelhouse, just south of Chevy Chase Circle. Packed on a Tuesday night (2 deep at the bar, 25 minute wait for a table) Loud but still a nice energy. Great young staff. Friendly & attentive. $9 Hush Puppies with a tasty apricot butter (bits included) crunchy outside, creamy inside with jalapeños to boot. Generously sized B $28 Jib is a French Dip with almost rare prime rib & horseradish cream tucked inside a French baguette. Au jus on the side with really good, dirty shoestring fries B Not too pricey, and definitely the 🆕 hotspot in Chevy Chase.
Grade: B (good food, better service.)

| 5PC (Spicy) Wings combo at bhc Chicken |
Korean fried chicken is easier to find than ever, so good doesn’t necessarily cut it anymore. @bhc_official__ recently opened in Ballston & our 1st visit took an extra 15 minutes to start 😠Once in hand however, positivity took over, 5 stellar wings… big, crunchy, hot 🥵 & loaded with high quality meat. B+ Matcho-King sauce for dipping is little more than a runny soy sauce C- Fries were crispy, hot & super clean (A+ on the oil test) B+ Small soda cups & the aforementioned surprise wait = disappointing. $17.22 for a combo is probably 3 bucks too much, but everyone’s gouging nowadays, right? Crowded for a Saturday late afternoon, so clearly others like it.
Grade: B- (One & done)
