Ted’s Bulletin

It used to be Ma Fishers in Milwaukee. Since we moved to DC from the Midwest we have peculiar habits that have endured. Having breakfast on Saturday mornings is something we like to do. To keep up that tradition, we go to McLean Family Restaurant in Virginia. But sometimes during the week, we like to stop somewhere in the neighborhood after a morning walk for a bite out. Pete’s has been the place to go to for that. They know us so well we don’t even have to order, and we always get a bottle of wine for Christmas every year. Over the last month or two we have occasionally stopped at Ted’s Bulletin in Barracks Row. We went there a couple of times when we first moved here, then stopped. It was always very busy and the food was just okay. The ambiance is trendy - with a 1940-50’s backdrop. It has a soda fountain and old movies playing in the background. And the food is all about diner food. Our timing is perfect now because it is right after breakfast and just before lunch. I think I’ve tried just about every breakfast item on the menu that I like. My husband always gets French toast - not my favorite - especially when it’s soggy. So we went today and found it “fair.” The food was just ok today. I’m not sure when we will return. We do things in cycles...and this may be another one.
