Italian Sausage?
I have bad luck when it comes to restaurants. As a kid I was very unadventurous in the realm of the palate; from ages 7 to 22, every time I got Chinese, I ordered the same thing: wonton soup and beef with snow peas (and I didn't eat the snow peas, they just didn't contribute any taste to the beef). Sometime after I got married, I started eating all sorts of different things, and I am rarely, if ever, satisfied with what I get.
Tonight, I met Peninah at Max's for dinner. I usually head straight for Ahmed's schwarma bar, but tonight, one of the specials caught my eye: Italian Sausage over Fettucini ($11.95). Sounds good, right? What I got was a hot dog on top of some wide noodles mixed with some marinara sauce. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. Will I ever learn (probably not)?
Rule #1 when going to Max's: get the schwarma.
Rule #2: see Rule #1.
I was there last week to meet my in-laws who had a conference in DC. Of course since it was the 9-days, we had their 9-days menu. I got vegetarian chili, and while it was good, it wasn't worth the $9.95 for the size of the bowl I got.

When will you learn? Hopefully before we have to hit the vegetarian chinese restaurant in CA- toFU anyone?
