I was on my honeymoon (before the cruise) and had this "I'm not going to use my phone all vacation!" attitude. Did not work well. Such a tourist trap that place was.

FYI, never, ever use Yelp for subjective restauraunt(or really any business) reviews. They've been sued so many times for shady business practices it isn't even funny. It's basically been proven that Yelp employees will post poor reviews for a business, and then Yelp will contact them and want to be paid to remove those bad reviews.
Use Urbanspoon.com for restaurant reviews.

Yes, that's where I am. And yes, I know there are tons of restaurants in the area. You think they are infinitely better, but I prefer Pizza Hut, pizza rolls, Doritos and Chipotle.
*Edit* I used to work in DuPont circle and Arlington, so I'd wander around the city on my lunch break or in the evenings and try various, random places. I was never impressed by anything.

On a separate topic, I've been getting into cupcakes lately. I'm a big fan of Crumbs (Cupcakes - Crumbs Bake Shop - Signature Cupcakes). A couple weekends ago I got a 6 pack for dinner: Banana Crunch, Carrot, Red Velvet, Princess, Peanut Butter Cup, and Happy Birthday. They were all delicious, but the Banana Crunch was easily my favorite, with Peanut Butter Cup a close second. I'm not even all that fond of chocolate and peanut butter, either.
I'm hoping to try some of the Girl Scout ones soonish.

Lol, does not compute. That's why they're awesome.
I like that not only are gourmet cupcakes covered in frosting, but most are filled with it as well.

Crumbs is awesome because they are actually a decent size and filling unlike every other cupcake place. BTW McCheese, never go to buzz for baked goods. They are atrocious

I cannot eat icing at all, so I scrape it off and give it to my wife. It works out well.

Hah I missed this. Eating 6 crumbs cupcakes is probably the equivalent of eating an entire 8in cake.

CONSUMER REPORT
Lately I've been enjoying the chicken strips at Burger King. They are mildly flavorless, but a step above McDonalds - unfortunately 17 steps below Wendy's old chicken strips, but I digress.
Today for lunch I pulled in, when I ordered the strips she asked if I wanted them buffalo.I love buffalo sauce.. I live for buffalo sauce.I thought. I imagined that when they made these tenders, they would just use a spicier breading (much like their spicy chicken sandwiches) and pass it off as buffalo. I could not have been more wrong.
When I opened the container, much to my dismay, I found the 5 chicken tenders absolutely drowning in buffalo sauce. I was wearing a white shirt and I'm thankful it didn't spill out of the container. Some genius, somewhere, decided that finger food would be much better if it was drenched in pure molten lava. I had to pick each of these up in my hands and get them all wet and sauced up with buffalo sauce. I wouldn't care if I went out for wings, that's par for the course, but this is supposed to be fast food - shit Wakandan, I ain't got no mothafuckin bib on.
The tenders were a soggy, disgusting mess, and my hands were disgusting afterwards. It was extra awesome because they gave me ONE napkin. To top it off, the sauce wasn't even good. Imagine they took a bunch of containers of dipping sauce and emptied it over the tenders and that was it - that's what I think they did.
Whoever made this invention hopefully will be fired or raped. Worst decision ever. 0/10 would not ingest again.

That sounds like a typical order of buffalo wings from Wild Buffalo Wings. Cardboard container of standard breaded/fried wings with your chosen sauce poured over it. It sounds good for a regular meal, but I certainly wouldn't want to deal with it while driving.
I always loved KFC's spicy chicken for this exact reason: the spice was in the breading. It's been a while since I've had it so I assume it's still the same. You might get a sauce on it if you order a sandwich or something, but generally they were decently spicy without being soggy with sauce. It's the same for everyone's favorite spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's. I'd be happy to eat their breaded spicy chicken patty like a giant chicken finger.
*Edit* Speaking of chicken fingers, Cheesecake Factory has AWESOME chicken fingers. They come with delicious mashed potatoes, and the way to really kick the dish up a notch is to dip the chicken fingers IN the mashed potatoes.

Have you ever had the cheesecake factory's boneless buffalo wings? They put the sauce inside the perfectly fried batter so you can eat them with your fingers but still get that saucy goodness. Delicious.
