I still haven’t seen any progress on the Nigerian restaurant that is supposed to open next door. But it’s great to get some business going on that strip.

I don’t get it. You only eat food that is new? ------- Yes, I get bored of food easily. I stopped eating hamburgers around 1995-ish, but I've had a few veggie burgers since then. I'm a vegetarian, if that explains the hamburgers, but even the veggie burgers are topped differently every time. Life's too short and all that to have the same food twice if you have the power to change it. I may reconsider the Ethiopian if someone can send me a list of restaurants, because I'll check the menus for something new. But also, people praised that Algerian place on 11th st to the gills and it's absolute crap. There are 22 yr olds who never had, you know, good chinese food before who suddenly discover this whole new world that I've been through when I was 22.

I haven't wanted to have Ethiopian food in 10 years. I ate so much in the 1980s and then, you know, nothing new under the sun. Ditto with Pho- I just haven't seen the variety. If Nigerian food isn't all yams then I'm cool with it. If the food is good then that would be worth it, but I’ve found plenty of cuisines that don’t hold up to repeated visits.

I haven't had much Nigerian food before, but love Cameroonian, Ghanaian and Senegalese food. There are so many great inexpensive ethnic restaurants in the DC suburbs (especially Vietnamese food in Arlington, but also Thai, Korean, Indian, plus real Chinese food that would put the Chinese/Sub/Pizza carryout places here to shame). I noticed recently that there is an Ethiopian market and restaurant at 14th & Shepherd - has anyone tried it? A couple weeks ago I ate at Taqueria Distrito Federal (also on 14th) and it was fantastic. The more places like this the better!

Sorry anon, but I don't see why Nigerian food is any less appealing than any other cuisine. I’m super excited about getting some good jollof rice and egusi.
