DC Bloggers Bound For B. Smith’s

BSUpdate on the DC Blogger Meet-up:

So far about 15 people will be meeting up at B. Smith’s restaurant on December 30, and I’m looking forward to meeting each and every one. If you’re a DC-area blogger or know of any interested in meeting others, please e-mail me for more details.

Do you know who Barbara Smith is? Her restaurant is very nice. They serve a variety of dishes, with an emphasis on Southern cuisine. A variety of people eat there as well. It’s affordable enough for people like myself and prestigious enough for Capitol Hill’s politicians. (I once shook hands with a post-impeachment Bill Clinton. I had to be polite, didn’t I?) I even saw my pastor there once. :)

Please spread the word about the meet-up. And VOTE FOR ME.

Unrelated Update: Guess what? Our favorite commenter, Scsiwuzzy, just started a blog. Commenter Renee has had one for awhile. Go check them out!

Very Important Update: The blogger meet-up is NON-PARTISAN. Liberals, moderates and others are invited. :)

Another Update: One of the creators of Ratherbiased.com may be joining us for dinner. The site existed before Rathergate, by the way. I can’t imagine the kind of traffic they got after old Dan embarrassed himself.

You’re supposed to be polite…[g]

Have fun at the meetup!

I voted for you, LaShawn! :)

Southern cuisine, eh? I guess she has chicken ‘n’ dumplin’s and chicken fried steak, then. What about jambalaya or dirty rice?

Thanks Michael and Cindy!

I haven’t “seen” you in awhile, Jennifer. I think they serve jambalaya. I don’t know about chicken fried steak. Confession: I’ve never had any.

They serve catfish (my favorite), pork chops, etc., and give you decent portions, no tiny dishes of anything.

Boy, am I jealous. It’s a shame that Denver is so far away. These folks here in Denver think that chicken and dumplin’s come out of a Campbell’s can.

I’m jealous! Why are all the smart and pretty women meeting in DC?

B. Smith has a lovely show — it’s a good thing — that is like a classy version of Martha Stewart’s old show. I’ve caught it once in awhile during the wee hours of a Saturday or Sunday morning. She’s wicked cool, gracious and charming.

LOL It’s “I hadn’t seen you fer awhile”. ;) Don’t you know your proper Southern English? ;) If you like fried chicken, then you would probably like chicken fried steak. Especially if you’re “hawwwngray” (hungry). Sounds like a mighty fine place to visit.

BTW, I read your blog everyday and comment a little when I can. I get in a big rush when I’m on the internet. lol

Jennifer – Every time I’m in SC for a visit, I have to get used to the accents all around me, although my family and I don’t have southern accents (that I can hear). From local news anchors to people in a store, the accents are uniquely and unmistakably southern!

Wow, Barbara Smith is beautiful!! Wish I could be there with ya’ll!!!

Alas I am stuck in Western Canada!!

RepJ 12.10.04 at 10:50 am

La Shawn, First, South Carolina is very beautiful. My feeling is that in Georgia and surrounding areas, there is a deeper accent than over my way in Texas. You guys sound like beauty queens. We just sound like hicks. ;)

Her restaurant made the TravelChannel not too long ago for great places to eat southern when not in the Deep South. I’m sure I’ll have to swing by when I next make it to D.C.
