The Slip
After years of walking past it, I could never remember the name of this place (much less remember it even existed--it is, after all, "Washington’s Smallest Full Service Establishment"). I only knew it as the restaurant with the grill that "always smelled really good." There is usually a line out the door (seats no more than 25 people inside, more when warmer weather decides to appear for outdoor seating), and although service is pretty slow and spotty, I can say this is now my favorite burger place. With a full bar and numerous burger variations (Peanut Butter Bacon Burger for those that just rolled out of bed, Deluxe Earth Burger for vegetarians), get ready to get messy. The black bean and corn salsa in my thick Neno Chicken Burger slipped past the mushrooms and grilled onions, dripping all over my hands, while my friend stylishly finished her Salmon Broiler without even needing a napkin. Apparently it takes skill. Guess that's why it's called The Slip.
