Adegra

"This is a nice respite from chain hell in the immediate downtown area of Silver Spring. The food is nice...the only disappointment I had was a very bland yet remarkably greasy flatbread. I'm a big fan of both the sweet potato fries and the eggplant fries - good stuff. The wine selection is quite good...I'm hardly an expert on the subject, but I've never had a bad bottle here. Prices by the glass and bottle are reasonable, and they have a special on Saturday nights - $35 for two entrees, an appetizer, and a bottle wine.

I'm slightly sad, however, because I haven't seen (or heard) my favorite Adega employee in quite some time. He is (or was) their official Number Calling Guy and had an absolute perfect carnival barker voice. It was shocking to see such a diminutive guy (five foot six, at best) bust out such an authoritative bellow. Now they have those stupid vibrating thingies to let you know when your food's ready. Damn you, cruel technology. Another step closer to the robot takeover. We're all doomed."
