Fishbowl DC: Remember that time when a DC restaurant chain claimed that Anthony Bourdain gave them a ringing endorsement at the Capitol Food Fight, and then he said he totally didn’t?

(They did not respond to our requests for elaboration.) We believe you are intelligent enough to draw your own conclusions.
