Looks like the Pizza Potomac is dead in the water:<br /><br />"Easily the worst food I've had in a very long time.<br /><br />The only good thing about this place is that it was so dead and the music was pretty loud, so the two kids could roam around freely without having to worry about them disturbing anybody.<br /><br />I get that it's a silly gimmicky type restaurant, but still, the food was borderline inedible.<br /><br />I'm still getting over the shock of paying $18 for the gross Pizza Pottamac, but maybe I'll update the review with more details later after I eat some real food."Die Foodie Scumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22113530239411993632016-10-17T10:18:13.440-04:002016-10-17T10:18:13.440-04:00I hope someone throws a party every night outside ...I hope someone throws a party every night outside Zach's house until 2 in the morning.

The first thing we tried was basically tasteless. By that I mean it had no taste. The decor was tasteless in the sense you'd expect. The second thing we tried was a pot-o-mac (see what they did there?). It arrived, after a very long time, and was was nearly not cooked at all. One poke of the solid block of cream cheese was all we needed to send it back. The manager asked for feedback and offered to get us anything else on the menu, but by that point we were laughing uncontrollably and couldn't give feedback without being mocking. So we left.<br /><br />Luckily for us, Itzakaya had an open table, so we sat there and ate delicious food and tried to process what just happened.<br /><br />I think the best summary is a line from one of the Jackass movies: "What did you think was going to happen?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-15207966409226156592016-10-15T09:01:31.023-04:002016-10-15T09:01:31.023-04:00@12:30 AM

Glutton aversion on a mass scale is popular because it makes eating more complicated and therefore entitles those who claim they can't eat it more attention, empathy and power.
