C & C Carry Out

Bulgogi? Yeah, well we had no idea either. Turns out bulgogi is Korean for "fire meat" not because it burns on the way down but rather because it is traditionally cooked over an open flame. At C & C there must have been a mistranslation because it was in fact cooked over a warm gridle with more spice than meat. All in all it wasn't too fiery or tasty, but filling nonetheless. We sampled the pork and the chicken varietals but the pork was kind of chewy and the chicken has been described as a "one trick pony."

A friend of ours, Andy, picked up a slightly Asian influenced burger. But if there's a food that should have absolutely no Asian influence it's a bacon cheeseburger. What we didn't know walking into C & C's is that there is in fact a bulgogi burger. As innocent bystanders, it is not our call whether or not this Eastern-influenced burger was intentional or just a crazy random happenstance. What we can say is if you are looking for a good burger and some good asian food, try getting them separately. And at a different restaurant.

A Posting from the Better Half

Hey everyone, Greg here. This is just to let you know that I will be posting soon. Not only that, but it will be a post to rival any of Tim's previous ones. Prepare yourself for awesomeness.

The Brewer's Art

Wow, cheap imported beer? Yeah, that's pretty crazy. If you are into neat service, cool ambiance, and a menu for beer the size of a neo-socialist activism pamphlet then this is the place for you. They are the small art gallery of bars, complete with visiting beers to round out their already gorgeous selection of house brews. You will not be disappointed.

Price Range - cheapskys

Location - Also on Charles but between Biddle and Chase

Never on Sunday

All we can say is food+cheap+never being open on Sunday=strange blend of Greco-American fare that suits the low-budget diner. If you don't mind greasy food and slightly bizarre to highly eccentric service, then this is the place for you (except on Sundays). But seriously, the sandwiches and gyros are cheap and easy. We've only had the eat-in experience but supposedly they offer take-out and delivery as well. Also, they are open late.


Price range - On a scale from dirt to cheap NOS is quite reasonable.
Location - On Charles two blocks North of George Washington's phallic monument.
