The holy grail? Searching for tasty hummus.
As I begin this quest of epic proportions and search for the essentially unfindable, I must ask myself: does anyone really know what good hummus is? Does anybody really care...about hummus? The question blazing in my taste buds is where can I find a hummus so crisp, so creamy, so fresh and full of "spices" that I would be compelled to grab the recipe and run.
My search begins in our nation's capitol, Washington, DC the place where Mediterranean tapas restaurants abound and there is one, respectible falafel joint. A great place to begin as the ethnic food community in DC is every-expanding and changing to fit the interns, outcastes and administration. Is it a french bistro owned by bulgarians? Perhaps a indian, now thai (only if the name is Thai Me Up or similar). But what does it all mean as the coconut milk curries give way to the apple and raison sauteed spinaches and lamb, lamb, lamb? It is the question I plan to answer in my travels, trials and tribulations...
...in search of the perfect hummus.
