I went with leslie last night and we had a charcuterie plate with pates and little bits. Then we had meatball sliders that were tasty and unique and also primaly fulfilling in a way meat and cheese on crostini can provide. I then had a hamburger as well, which is what I came for in the first place. their chef makes his own sausages and meats and grinds everything himself etc. its INCREDIBLE, I was really impressed. The reason I am writing this blog post is because its in a little strip mall in N.Arlington and youd never find it if you didnt know what you were looking for. ... AND because according to our waiter, Stachowski is apparently leaving to do something else in a few weeks so get it while you can!

really good fresh homemade bright green pickles, tasty interesting flavors all round, lots of large flat screen tvs blaring sports and lots of special homemade MEAT.

"The he-man menu is the creation of chef Jamie Stachowski, whose charcuterie was one of the best things about Restaurant Kolumbia. When he and his wife, Carolyn, closed that K Street eatery a year ago, Stachowski—who claims to have worked in 27 restaurants since he was 14—was a man without a kitchen. So what did the burly chef do? He holed up in his garage and made meat." - washingtonian
