Some of the Best Food Ever

No lie. Made a work trip to DC with hotel in Arlington environs. Did a dinner with coworkers first night at Liberty Tavern in Clarendon. Wow.  For real. Wow squared. Company was pretty good too. With the new job nearly everyone is untested as dining companions. Lots of good wine and good food. My compliments as well to our waiter. Perfect blend of attentive and informative. 

Highlights were duck fat fried onion rings. I promise you you will feel like you've died and gone to heaven. We also had a cheese plate that was damn good. Grilled octopus. Normally I wouldn't touch this. Obviously I had just enough alcohol in me. 

Entree was diver scallops that. Were. The shit. Really nice portion too. I had to make myself stop eating. 

Dessert was homemade cake donuts and some vanilla cake with a scoop of some homemade ice cream the likes if which I have not had before. It was divine. Donuts were good but they were donuts. 

Next night the full complement of our group was at the hotel. We bagged on dinner out in exchange for drinks in the bar that led to appetizers in the bar and everyone turning in around 9. I love working somewhere where more people than me have young kids.  I can drink with these people too. Things are really working out so far.
