Well, let's see. Felt pretty damn good at one hour after, and I still feel great now. No, uh, gastrointestinal problems. Also, I have to say that one of my biggest pet peeves is too much grease in my lunch. Not so much while I eating, but when I'm wiping it off my skin an hour later. There was none of that in this case.
Very pleased. I love Greek and Mediterranean food in general - hummus, tabbouleh, couscous, and so on. I'll absolutely be going back there in a month to try something else on the menu and review it.
Tomorrow: The Bread Line!

#1: Greek Deli & Catering
Greek Deli & Catering
1120 19th St. NW
What I got: Falafel on pita w/ hummus, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and scallions, no sides
Cost: $7.98 after tax
For my first trip for this blog, I traveled the five blocks in the rain to 19th St. where I found Greek Deli & Catering. The service is very quick - they fly through the line, taking orders 6 or 7 people deep with the intention of having your food ready basically by the time you get up the counter. I waited a total of about 3 minutes for my food, which was very nice. I hate waiting. It also seems like people who go there really know what they want due to the ordering situation.
I walked back to my office and sat down to eat my pita. It was still warm (the falafel and pita both). There's a lot of taste to this one -- very flavorful and tasty. The hummus was really good (I licked some of the extra off the tin foil wrap it came in) and was light but not fake-light, if that makes sense. It also didn't fall apart in my hands, which was really nice. It was very, very good.
My only complaint was that it was a little expensive. $8 for it wasn't awful or anything, but with no sides (no rice or anything like that), it was a little much for just a falafel pita. That said, it was very tasty and filling. Definitely worth the trip.
I'll give it four stars out of five - if it was a little cheaper or came with sides, that would have bumped it up. Still, very good.
(I promise photos will get better. Yeesh.)
