Rats in the Kitchen
Well, this is lovely. Rodents have been found at Baja Fresh, Mixtec, and Popeye's here in Washington. Not that surprising - I mean, Popeye's is right near The Crew Club on 14th Street. Not only is that place infested with rodents, but they've probably given crabs to the biscuits.
I do enjoy Baja Fresh, but mostly get my 1500-calorie burritos from Chipotle. And now I have a good reason to continue that tradition.
I've never heard of Mixtec, but it kinda looks like a place frequently visited by health inspectors.
I'm sure rats and some of their cousins are prevalent in other eating establishments throughout Washington; these were just the unlucky 3 that got caught that week. They should set up a webcam in the kitchen of that sketchy dive, Ruth's Chris Steak House. I have my suspicions about that one.

I walked past the Popeyes on 14th Street on my way home from work yesterday and it has been closed by the city.

Deep fried cajun rat tail, buttermilk biscuits, side of dirty rice and a big ol glass of sweet tea...hot damn! It don't get no better than that!

Rats are everywhere...almost every day in the NY Post, they are ratching about rats. The ones here look like Laura Bush too!

I {3 Mixtec. Oh schnap. Well, no matter--it's still cleaner than my kitchen. Thanks, sloppy life partner!

"Popeye's Chicken"? I thought that place was supposed to be really great judging by the long line at the drive-thru.

I'm sure Laura's hubby would tell us that the solution to the rat problem involves more than just fumigation which is why he's sending in boat loads of more exterminators to solve the problem.
Oh, and if you believe that makes sense, I have a bridge in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

I love the photo tag when you scroll over the picture of pickles....

Now you know the truth behind dirty rice.

I can't look at a picture of that woman without thinking of Margaret Cho's line about Lysol.

Wait till the summer...that's when the streets start to look like the movie "Willard" after 11pm.
