We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Versailles, aka: THE pan ethnic restaurant



I went to Versailles the other day with my Mom and some of her friends from Nigeria. Versailles is a funny place as it mimics almost every ethnic comfort food out there. "This tastes like food from Indonesia!", "This tastes like food from Nigeria!", "This tastes like food from the Phillipines!" (we also had a Filipino at the table). If I were to ever host the UN, I know exactly where to take them.  Any more international, and it would be a Benetton ad. I think the secret is in their rice/beans, chicken, and oxtail soup.  

Man, I wish Indonesian food was more inclusive (I'm Indonesian, FYI), though I don't think blood paste or whole sauteed squid is on most palletes, international or not.
