So, my famous artist friend T.J. came in from NYC on the Greyhound (what? you didn’t know that the BUS is so in with famous artists?) to celebrate her big B’DAY, take a break from her PhD studies, and importantly LIVE IT up in DC! The weekend started off with a big meal on Saturday at the infamous Ben’s Chilli’s Bowl. (If you don’t know about Ben’s Chilli Bowl, stop everything you’re doing and research this historic pillar in the DC community.) After full belly’s and with smile’s on our faces we go off to catch the last shows of the Cherry Blossom Festival and tour the MALL (yes this is my 2 time touring the mall in a 2 week period)…but what are friends for? We end the day at Glady’s & Ron’s Chicken and Waffle where my famous artist friend T.J. got served a very special ‘jazzed’ up B’day song by the Saturday night Jazz Band. In the group picture we are all smiling and sucking in our stomachs. I recommend the Midnight Train to Georgia. Glady’s and Ron’s House Dish. It will leave you oh so happy. (BTW it’s actually called the ‘Midight Train’ but I can’t help me self when ordering.)
