Jon's Joint Twitter/X Food Review

Hamburger & Straight-Cut Fries at Jon's Joint

First time at the new DC location of @Jonsjointburger and we’re already in love. Freshest, hottest 🥵 Straight-Cut Fries in town ($5.95) A- (Old Bay at the counter!) simple but scrumptious (single) Hamburger (also $5.95) B+ and a to-die-for Mango milkshake ($7.95) that’s worth twice the price. A+ Banner service, fun atmosphere & one of the best windows for people-watching in DC.

How Shakespeare Saved My Life Twitter/X Theatre Review

Shakespeare or Die

I admit: I’m often skeptical of a “one-person show.” The pressure (on the performer) is intense, and the risk for overcompensation… even greater. And then I saw 👀 @jacobmingtrent1 perform How Shakespeare Saved My Life at @FolgerLibrary. His solo testimony to the congregation (our lucky 🍀 audience) is both heartfelt & mesmerizing without the slightest hint of unease or vanity. For an hour & a half, Jacob dazzles with music, stories and (most importantly) words. Said words are bursting with honesty & instruction, a rare combination on any stage. You’ll likely cry, laugh & smile (in some awesome combination) but the bottom line is, this is the best performance of the year. Can’t wait to see him again.

Grade: A+

Cosi Twitter/X Food Review

Miso Chili Chicken Crunch Sandwich at Cosi

Another great sandwich at @get_cosi. Ordered the Miso Chili Chicken Crunch Sandwich ($12.99 minus a $5 Monday coupon) and couldn’t be happier. Forgot to select side chips (oops) but the sandwich (roasted chicken thighs, Asian slaw, red chili 🌶️ miso sauce, spicy sriracha mayo & wonton strips) was more than enough for a filling & super-satisfying lunch. Didn’t detect much heat, but the chicken was sensational (as always.) Lots of crunch, and proof that cold sandwiches don’t have to be boring.

Grade: B+

CHAR'D Twitter/X Food Review

Char'd Burger (r) with Duck Fat Fries at CHAR'D

Not all fries are created equal, and the $6.99 Duck Fat Fries at CHAR'D are no exception. They’re phenomenal… clean, non-greasy and salty, perfect even without a dipping sauce. A. Their Char’d Burger ($10.99) is pretty good, but comes plain (if you skip the cheese) and is basically a @Smashburger that costs twice as much. B. Ditto for their $8.99 Strawberry 🍓 Shake (nice consistency) B. Inviting interior, but hiccups with online ordering + potentially prohibitive pricing make this more of a treat than a routine stop.

Grade: B (Solid as they come, and terrific fries.)
