There's a couple Elephant and Castle locations in DC. I'll usually get poutine from there when I'm in Seattle for PAX. I'm usually not disappointed by the food, but the service is lacking. Although I give them the benefit of the doubt since they're pretty slammed with nerds.

I told the wife's mom this and she said, 'oh that sounds like posh poutine, not real poutine.' Hah, Canadians are fun. I'll still try to go tomorrow on the way out of town.

The best poutine in the world is at this greasy, hole in the wall shop that was near where I used to live in Quebec. It's called 'La Patate Doree' (the golden potato). I think part of why they are so good is that they still use lard to deep fry. Damn. Now I want some.
If you're ever in the Ottawa area and want really good local poutine, check them out.

So many places that once had great food have declined in the push to make fast food healthier. I saw some coconut oil for sale while shopping a while back and it made me remember how great movie theater popcorn used to be. The stuff was better than anything you could make at home because they popped it in coconut oil. Then back in the 80's 20/20 ran a story about how it was so incredibly bad for you and within a couple of years all of the theaters had transitioned over to air popped. Even when they put out the self-serve butter spigots so you could drown it in as much of that as you wanted it still wasn't anywhere near as good but still just as bad for you as the old stuff was.

Amazon.com : Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil (Gallon) Gourmet Food
popcorn tastes great, i'm using air popped. The free kernals they give you, you can throw away, kinda not good.

The only duck fat fries I ever had (That wasn't the poutine version I mentioned above) were leaps and bounds better than any other fry I've ever had.
I didn't even realize it would alter the flavor of things like that, I felt like a savage for never trying anything duck fat related before.
EDIT: Intrinsic, I hope you get to go. All their food is extremely high quality. I recommend the Chicken Pannini, Pork Chops, Hummus, Poutine or the burger with the cheese enchilada's on it. They also have daily specials which you shouldn't overlook. You shouldn't miss going if you have the chance.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. That looks disgusting.
I'm feasting on wasabi peanuts. Such a good burn.

I've had those before, pretty good. If you like sweet and salty then you will like them.I didn't know this existed. Anyone tried them?
They are, however, a fucking ripoff. Just buy a normal bag and a couple bars of chocolate and make your own. They have like 10 chips in a $4 bag

Well, I came up a bit short. I ended up eating 6 total bowls (the initial one + 5 refills) and a handful of bread sticks and salad. I ended the evening comfortably full. I could have forced another bowl--for 7 total--but I was feeling pretty good and I didn't want to get to the point where the pasta sweats started. My competition had quit after his second bowl, so I didn't really have any motivation to push myself much further. I think it's important to note that I had candy for breakfast and some bouillabaisse for lunch, so I didn't go into this with an empty stomach. Here's what I ate (also pictured below):
Bowl 1: tri-colored penne, 5 cheese marinara sauce, fried chicken breast
Bowl 2: tri-colored penne, pesto alfredo sauce, fried chicken breast
Bowl 3: tri-colored penne, 5 cheese marinara sauce, fried chicken breast
Bowl 4: cavatappi, meat sauce, 2 sausages
Bowl 5: tri-colored penne, garlic asiago alfredo sauce, 2 meatballs
Bowl 6: rigatoni, 5 cheese marinara sauce, fried chicken breast
I started getting kind of hungry again on the drive home, so I'm sitting here munching on more candy (Hershey's cookie n' cream tombstones) as I write this.
