Cintronelle chef, auter Michel Richard will open his second DC restaurant. Not another three-star aspirant or labrotorio, this will be a burger joint at 1001 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. Instead of being asked the usual "rare, medium or well-done," partrons of "Central" will choose from tuna, lobster or beef burgers. Interesting.
Richard (healthy man on the left) has a great reputation around town, particularly if the honorific in front of your name is "Sen." instead of the ususal "Mr." or "Ms." We were at Cintronelle once and when we asked to substitute on the cheese plate for something other than a goat cheese, a simple Brie perhaps, the waiter got huffy and told us that the plate was personally selected by Richard and could not be altered.
So if you want a half tuna/half lobster burger at the new place, be sure to reserve your table with the proper honorific. Given the Pennsylvania Ave. address, we recommend using the title of Ambassador and maybe then Richard will hold the dressing on the side if you ask nicely.

hmmm ... do we detect some personal vengeange Mr. DCBubble? So tell me, when you go to buy artwork, do you also tell the artist what colors to use? I've heard that Wendy's let's you "have it your way" ...
that's burger king.
well, i agree that if i'm gonna pay for food, it should be my food however much it costs. this isn't the soup kitchen.
and if an artist paints a picture and uses colors that people don't want to pay for, should we expect people to still pay for them.
i say everytime someone goes to a restaurant and has an experience that wasn't pleasant, post it. maybe then they'll stop putting tomatoes in my food when i requested it because i'm allergic to them! i don't care if the chef thinks it makes the food "look" better...
