Rambler Roundup: The Pizza is Hitlerific! Edition

  • It's been a while since I've done food closures, but this one hit too close to home.  Bangkok One at 1411 K St. was closed for operating a food establishment with gross insanitary conditions, operating a food establishment with circumstances that may endanger public health, and incorrect hot & cold holding temperatures for potentially hazardous foods.  I say it hits close to home because this is the closest chinese place to my office.  I've always gone the extra block to Hunan Palace (not to be confused with the Royal Palace) on Vermont, and now I'm glad that I did.
  • There is a new restaurant in Mumbai, India called Hitler's Cross.  The restaurant is adorned with swastikas.  "It's just to attract people. There is no intention to hurt anyone," said owner Puneet Sablok about his spacious restaurant, which serves pastries, pizza and salad.  Right.  Um, dude, that's pretty effed up.  No, I mean really effed up.
  • I'm leaving for a little vacay in Charleston, SC, so I won't be posting again until Monday.  I'm also going to punch myself in the balls for using the word "vacay."  My itinerary includes sitting on the beach of the Isle of Palms, eating a lot of food, getting falling down drunk, and discovering the supersecret location of the Playaz HQ so that an army of DC bloggers can infiltrate Playaz Ball 2007.  Wish me luck.

"Um, dude, that's pretty effed up. No, I mean really effed up."

Interesting take!

You will likely see C-130s and Blackhawk helicopters flying above and around it, so it won't be hard to miss.

You should dine at "The Wreck" if you want to tour some of the Playaz' haunts while you are there.

Have a blast--I spent many happy summers on Isle of Palms as a kid!

I know you were kidding, but speaking of "vacay," you reminded me that I hate how Gen Y kids talk. First of all, maybe abbreviating everything makes sense when you're "texting" on your TMobile Xtremezr phone or whatever; but what's the point of saying, for example, "BRB". It's the same fucking amount of syllables as what your actually saying. Why not just say, like, "colon dash parenthesis" instead of smiling. Second, the cutsey abbreviations like "Jel-Jel,""mo mo," "vacay" etc. etc. Apparently, it's now cool to sound like some aging trophy wife having a conversation with her purse poodle.

I kick myself everytime I say things like "let's talk about this offline".

I heard about that Hitler restaurant. What morons. Have a great vacay! ;-)

Using "vacay" indicates that you no longer have any balls to hit. Sorry.

As for the Hitler restaurant, it's brilliant that it doesn't even serve German food. Shouldn't it really be "Mussolini's Hat" or something like that?

damn, bankok one, 14k 'spa' - shit is hard for an asian entrpreneur on K street.

Yeah, I know, writing out "vacation" can be a real bear. You could sprain your wrist, or maybe forget your thoughts mid-word; it's a peril all around. Talking like a 13 year old prep school girl and opting for "vacay" was definitely the right route to go.

I love that I purposefully used "vacay" to make fun of myself, and y'all insist on making fun of me anyway. Sorry, beat you to the joke. It's called self deprecation.

You mean "self deprecay".

Hitler-rific, that's my favorite least used hyphenated word!
