Posted by: JD at May 3, 2005 10:12 AM I believe the 'Helmud' referred to here is actually The Helmand, which is Hamid Karzai's brother's restaurant. Posted by: J at May 3, 2005 9:47 PM "Best Small Meal for Less than the Cost of a Metro Check / Runner-Up / Fado" Fado's? Fad-fucking-do's? Is this a joke? C'mon now. I have eaten a lot of the Fado's menu (I like to go there for trivia night). It's awful, and for what it is, it's quite expensive. Entrees start around $7-8 dollars -- you'll be dropping $12-15 for a meal, in most cases. That's not a lot, but it's hardly competitive with Ben's or Julia's. The menu features lots of "authentic" Irish dishes like, say, fajitas. Most hilarious: the copy devoted to explaining that wrap sandwiches are a longstanding gaelic tradition. The burgers are okay, the fish and chips are okay, the corned beef is okay -- but nothing rises to the level of "good". the barbeque chicken sandwich is bad, the bangers and mash are pathetic, and they've got these triangular potato things that resemble nothing so much as oil-soaked sponges, which you're then supposed to dip into a cheese sauce -- it's truly horrifying. About half the menu comes out of a deep fryer, and all of it comes out of a freezer. I've gotten in the habit of meeting my friends there for trivia, securing a table, then leaving to eat at one of the nearby alternatives, most of which are a cheaper and all of which are better. Within walking distance and in the cheap eats category there's a california tortilla, a potbelly, a subway, a five guys and, if you have time to sit down, matchbox, numerous chinese joints, and a texas bbq place. Any of these is a much, much better deal than Fado. Don't get me wrong, I love getting drunk and losing at trivia in a faux-Irish setting as much as the next guy. But I avoid eating there as much as possible.

Posted by: zaf at May 10, 2005 2:31 AM I think the "wraps" you're describing are heavily Americanized "boxties," which are authentic Irish food. But it's been years since I've seen the menu there. And the Irish breakfast, while small, is pretty tasty. Posted by: Matt at May 11, 2005 11:22 AM Post a comment |
