We had the same issues at our home, Ed.  I changed my husband to whole grain pasta by mixing 1/3 whole grain and the rest processed flour pasta when I cooked it.  I gradually added more whole grain and less processed flour pasta,  We have now completely converted to all whole grain and actually like it better.  Unfortunately I don't have a brand name for you.  I buy my whole grain pasta from a Mennonite organic and bulk food store.

Anyone come across a flavorful whole grain pasta that doesn't taste and feel like cardboard in your mouth?  After my cardiac woes, I'm trying to eat healthier and while I can eat whole wheat pasta, my wife balks at the taste and texture.  Thanks for any suggestions!

One of the food trucks on Food Network's Great Food Truck Race offered a burger like that.  Enjoy, Jason!  I wouldn't dare eat something like that now, but there was a time...

My boys took me out to dinner for my birthday. The sandwich is a bacon cheeseburger in between two grilled cheese sandwiches (instead of buns)

Our last lunch of Restaurant Week was the most interesting and enjoyable one!  The Fourth Estate is on the 13th (guess they are not superstitious) floor of the National Press Building on 14th Street.  Appetizers included a soup of the day (Manhattan clam chowder) and several salads.  Entrees ranged from the vegetarian acorn squash stuffed with Basmati rice and cranberries, veal shank, game hen with corn pudding, to grilled swordfish.  Desserts included chocolate fudge pie, baked Alaska (flaming), and a cinnamon mulled red wine with orange and candied kumquat slices.  We have to go back to this one.  Very imaginative menu!  Next week is Restaurant Week in Alexandria, Virginia.  If I go somewhere there, I'll post.

I went to Burger, Tap and Shake before Christmas where they had a Peppermint Shake. It was like Christmas in a cup. Tonight I'm checking out J&G Steakhouse.

I really enjoy these excellent reviews!  They are quite useful in my dining planning. If you want to also share them on Linked In, please check out (and join)  "DC Foodies" Thanks and Happy New Year

Yum...had Burger, Tap, & Shake today in GWU area.  Pretty awesome.  That trend of fancy burgers is getting a little out of control thought - there's like 10 of these places now in DC

Today was The Palm.  Salads and egg drop soup for starters; New York strip with peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes and chicken parm for mains, with fried onions & homemade potato chips and broccoli for sides; with chocolate cake and key lime pie for dessert. Great lunch!  Tomorrow the Fourth Estate.
