The line outside of Greek Deli is always ridiculously long. And with good reason. The food is delicious. The gyros are excellent with a lovely dilled tzatziki sauce. The daily specials like meatballs, meatloaf, and roasted pork melt in your mouth, and are large enough for two meals. All these tasty standbys make it hard to work your way to other items on the menu. So it took a while to work toward getting the avgolemono soup.

The second location of Taylor Gourmet sandwich shop just opened today in the CityVista condo complex at 5th and K Streets NW. While checking out the opening, I most decidedly fell in love with their hoagie bread. The bread comes from Sarcone's Bakery in Philly, where the bread is picked up each day. With the heft of fillings that can range from meatballs to chicken cutlets to Italian deli meats, a really strong bread is needed to stand up to all that goodness.

It has been soft shell crab season for a few weeks now. Most of them are coming up from North Carolina at present, but the Maryland ones should be in season soon. One of the best versions around town is at Proof. Chef Haidar Karoum serves them fried with a cucumber slaw and a creamy chili garlic dressing. Karoum has a great ability to seamlessly adapt Asian flavors into more modern interpretations without making them seem kitschy or hackneyed. This dish is a perfect example. The cucumber slaw is a quick sweet pickle with jalapeno reminiscent of the pickled vegetables found on banh mi sandwiches. The dressing hints at sriracha. With a nice French baguette, this dish would make a superlative banh mi.

For fans of CityZen at the Mandarin Oriental, and those who can't quite afford to splurge for their tasting menu, there is good news. James Beard Award Winner Eric Ziebold is working on South by Southwest, a less expensive restaurant with a "new look, lower prices and flavors reminiscent of Maryland's Eastern Shore."

Everyone knows it's been a big week for chili, especially Ben's Chili Bowl. But we're not here to talk about Ben's, for once this week. Because whether you love or don't love the chili from Ben's, its squeeze-tap runny texture isn't quite comparable to most traditional chili.
