Restaurant Wednesday: Suddenly I'm A Food Writer! Edition


Normally, I know what I'm going to say at this point when I'm typing out a Restaurant Wednesday installment. But at the moment, my mind isn't working properly. I blame this temporary malfunction on the fact that something I wrote is running in The Washington Post Food Section today. As you will see, I wrote a restaurant review. My name is next to Tom Sietsema's in the newspaper. I am so honored!

Even though this is a dream come true for me, I feel a little tacky touting my work. How do you guys feel about self-promotion? While I wait for your responses, I'm off in search of smelling salts. This is the faintest I've felt in a long time...

Oh, and please do visit Chick N' Friends in Columbia if you're over that way. You will not be disappointed!

Congratulations! Forget the smelling salts, just pass the salt and some of that fried chicken and fish. I'm hungry for more of your excellent reviews!

BTW, it's not tacky at all to tout your own work. That's one of the main tenets of social networking.
