If y'all haven't tried brunch at Asylum yet, I highly recommend it! I hadn't tried it for the longest time, simply because I associate Asylum with long, bleary-eyed nights of drunkenness, not brunch. But it turns out to be a great experience, excellent atmosphere, the food is good, with a regular and a vegan menu, and they've also got an awesome DJ spinning tunes that are great to start a day with. It's fun to see goths out in the daylight, too. With a tummy full of good food and a stiff bloody mary or mimosa to start the day, you're good to go!

Last time we were there I ended up with burnt french toast and cold home fries. We used to go regularly but I think they switched cooks recently, and lately it's been hit and miss.

i'd have to (regretably) agree ... it's still nice to go somewhere on 18th street where there isn't a 30 minute wait for brunch ... someone asked me recently why people wait for an hour at the diner, and i told him they wait there for the same reason that they wait for 30 mins to get into Tom Tom and an hour to get into Pasta Mia: they're idiots.

yeah, waiting in line to eat is something I will not do. :mad:
-
Yeah-- I'm a big asylum food fan-- esp. the vegan grilled cheese. I also love when their special is vegan jambalaya-- so tasty! One of my favorite passtimes is the Saturday 5pm $.25 high life's and a tasty samich.
-
mmmm... Jambalaya! I was tempted to get the special w/ tofu omelette, vegan chili, tofu cheese, and soysage... but then it occurred to me that might just lead to a tofu overdose.

man. . vegan and tofu should NEVER be associated with tasty or mmmmmmm.

You have NO IDEA what you're talking about.
I love taking a nice long bike ride and then, after 50 or 70 miles, scarfing down the chili cheese tofu scramble. 100% protein and so tasty.

yeah, I'm an omnivore, but tofu/soy done well can be really good. I love me a nice boca burger.

Three words: Millennium, San Francisco.
The absolute BEST restaurant I've ever been to, ever (also the only time I've ever dropped over $100 on a meal for two people)..and it's completely vegan.

New veg restaurant (http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/going_out_gurus/2005/02/vegging_out_wit.html) coming to DC!
Dunno if this will be any good, but I sure hope so. We've got to be the biggest city in the country without a nice all-veg american/fusion restaurant.
-
I enjoyed the atmosphere as well but got a weird look when I asked if they had cappuccino, which i thought was more of a standard nowadays. Settled for regular coffee, no biggie. Food was hit and miss here too.

Well...there's Great Sage (http://www.great-sage.com/), but they're in Clarksville, MD...a good 45 minute drive from the city. Excellent food though.
