For whatever reason, the phenomenon of eating multiple small plate dishes (also know as tapas) as a meal has taken over dining in the District. There are some food trends that we moderately enjoy: Cupcakes, we can deal with those. Wine bars, they work for impressing dates and for the wining and dining of summer associates from big law firms (lucky bitches). And we can even deal with the influx of fro-yo shops. But this fascination with small plates is just beyond us. Either the city is (not so) subtly trying to convince everyone to be anorexic, or someone needs to come up with a new, more filling, and less expensive food trend, fast.
