So we're super stoked to announce that we'll each be contributing an article every week to DCist. In fact, AK's first article, a review of Bistro Europa, ran last Friday and can be found at this link. We'd love it if you checked it out.

DCist typically includes just one photo with each of their posts, so we thought we'd publish the other photos from our meal. That way, those interested in checking out Bistro Europa have a fuller representation of what to expect. And those of you who are just interested in seeing whether we made absolute pigs of ourselves can confirm that we did, indeed, make absolute pigs of ourselves.

Since AK wrote a full review, we're not going to reprise her commentary here, and you really should be reading it anyway. We'll just be posting the surplus pictures and a sentence indicating what each item is. In fact, two of our posts each week will now conform to this format, as we not only want to be informative, but also can't help shamelessly plugging our DCist efforts. Beyond those two posts, we'll continue running content that is exclusive to Suburban Tasteland- probably two additional posts a week, perhaps three if we're unusually productive.

Here's the Wiener Tafelspitz, which is boiled brisket with a horseradish cream sauce, a potato dumpling and white cabbage:

This is the Schweinshaxe, a roasted pork shank with cabbage, and a potato dumpling:





And this is the Schwarzwalder Kirsche Torte, or black forest cake:
