Let’s communicate tuna: Who produces the maximum productive melt in Washington?For one winner, we asked Virginia Senator Mark Warner, who arguably melted the most disgusting tuna in history in a “cooking” video during the web-shattering lockdown around April 2020. Among the sins of the sandwiched legislator: throwing a can of undrained tuna on white bread, decorate it with an obscene amount of mayonnaise and “melt” it in the microwave.
Before our test, Warner clarified some issues that have plagued us and America for years. First of all, the video is not, in fact, a secret public service announcement about the delivery.
“At the beginning of Covid, everyone was making these touching videos,” he said. “It was so healthy that it made me want to throw up! So I thought: let’s have some fun. they’re draining [the tuna], but what was given the most attention is the amount of uncooked mayonnaise,” said Warner, a Duke mayonnaise fan. “With this, I am guilty of what I am accused of. “
We asked the honorable senator to design seven tuna fondues, locations on Capitol Hill, Tune Inn, Tunnicliff’s and Fight Club; the Dupont Bub and Pop sandwich shop; Virginia Bob Restaurant Chain
Which one came out up here?
“I’m going to do the only thing a senator can do: claim a tie,” said Warner, who imagined CYM’s upside-down bagels — “The best quality of tuna is the best” — and Bub and Pop’s tuna: “Pickles and French bread, with tomato, tuna, cheese, it’s a wonderful combination. “
Levain. Tatte. Mah-Zé-Dahr. Washington has noticed an influx of fine bakeries set up in the city in recent years, each with its own chocolate chip cookie, at mind-boggling prices. To find out who has the best, we asked the experts: children.

About a dozen elementary school-age evaluators, who went through one at a time to be influenced by their peers, tried the six cookies, an undeniable elimination style, until each found a winner.
The result: two brands took the cake (er, cookie): Mah-Ze-Dahr, whose treats are with a pinch of salt, and Giant, for its sweets and chewy rounds.
The DC ice cream scene is increasing, and to locate the best one, we enlisted the help of an expert: Italian Ambassador Mariangela Zappia. He grew up in Sicily, where he eats ice cream for breakfast. (Honestly, it’s more than a thing. )
His Excellency and a handful of Embassy employees joined Washington editors for a blind tasting of chocolate balls and pistachios from six ice cream parlors. We tested the offerings of long-standing local chains Dolcezza, Pitango and Dolci Gelati; the site of the old Casa Rosada of the city; and two newcomers, Venchi, an Italian chain with a location in Tysons, and Italian Bar, a café that has gone to Chevy Chase DC from restaurateurs I’m Eddie Cano.
While Zappia and the rest of the embassy staff were diplomatic about their selection (“The most productive ice cream you can find in the city is the one my boss makes, at my residence,” he said), we learned what Italians are looking for. in the original ice cream: That it is sweet but not too sweet, and that it does not have a grainy, icy or garish color. With this in mind, we chose two transparent winners: Italian Bar for its pistachio, which had the right shade of pale brown, and Venchi for its “Chocoviar,” made with 75% dark chocolate.

Sarah Meashaw focuses entirely on puppies. The photographer, who owns Pooch Portrait Studio in Bethesda, only knows how to capture an animal’s personality, but she’s also an expert at other local puppy businesses. Here are some of his favorites.

By 2014, when Nicholas Askew became head coach of Howard University’s swimming and diving teams, the program had fallen to a low point. So Howard’s former student, who swam for the Bison in the 1990s, tackled each and every component of the program, from the once-lackluster indoor pool new paint to recruiting and training athletes.
The effort paid off. This year, the men’s and women’s record set wins for the first time in the school’s history, and the men won their first convention championship in over 3 decades.

There are two tactics to watch the pier’s success, says Darryl Madden, who just spent his fourteenth winter at the pier’s marina. First: It’s wonderful to watch it become a destination, with world-class restaurants and hotels along the once unglamorous waterfront of southwest DC. The other is that it is now much more expensive and complicated for visitors to park. by bike, on foot (from L’Enfant Plaza or the Waterfront subway station), or even via water taxi from Old Town, Georgetown, or National Harbor ($18 to $35 each way, depending on when you go). Metro has proposed extending two bus routes, 52 and 74, to the platform, however, those adjustments may take some time.
If you must drive, Kevin Tien, executive chef at Moon Rabbit, recommends parking at L’Enfant Plaza, where the daily rate is $26 and you can get to and from the coast. An executive who works nearby recommends parking at 1100 Fourth Street, Southwest, where the daily rate is $26.
