Oh, my God...

There is a place in Hamilton, Va., called "Planet Wayside" which takes the gold in the tacky olympics...

It is a rsturant... Well, kinda... You stoop to walk thru the door and upon enterin' you look to your left and there is a Bullwinkle doll with an aviator hat on him... Two booths, two tables and a short bar and not a right angle in the joint... Not even close to a right angle...

Tim O'Niel, the proprietor and chef, is as wacky as the joint he has been serving gormet food in for the last 30 years...

Now, for folks who aren't aware of Hamilton, Va., it is a small villiage on the outskrts of Washington, D.C. and it seems that lots of the power folks, when they get a wild hair, stop into "Planet Wayside" regularilly...

Robert DuVall, the actor, has been known to stop in... Madalane Albright stops in... Lots of really powerful people stop in... Now remember that the joint only holds about 20 people so when you are there it is *collectively* intiment so you party with whomever happens to be there..

BTW, the food is great and Tim, ahhhhh, too much...
