Well, believe me, the next time I am in DC I will just have to make it a
priority (you know, over seeing the family!). It sounds like my kind of
place with the South Indian goodies.
I have seen a lot of chatter about this Chicken 65, but I have never had
it,
nor have I made it. I know a few places around here serve it, but I just
haven't made it. Apparently monosodium glutamate is used in it
frequently,
but I'd still give it a whirl anyway!
Thanks for the update! I am so glad you tried it, although I am really,
really jealous now.
