Love it. Fantastic piece as always. But maybe you hadn’t cleared the hangover because I think you left one cure off your list: Georgian 🇬🇪 Kharcho, the rich, heavy beef soup flavoured with local spices that has been fixing post tcha-tcha body breakdowns for centuries. Here’s a recipe I dug out with Mr Google
How could I possibly have been so remiss!!? Unlikely I spent my time in gorgeous Georgia with its glorious wine and food entirely sober...Thank you for this recipe. Off to the kitchen immediately to make it. Thank you for your generous words. გილოცავთ ახალ წელს!
My current doctor-mandated low carb diet prevents me from enjoying pho, as does my long distance from the Vietnamese restaurants near DC--my favorites were in the Eden Center. I know that you probably are employing some poetic license here, but Wilson Boulevard is in Arlington, VA not Washington, DC.
I feel for you not being able to relish a pho!! Many's the day it's saved me, body and soul. I liked mine at Pho 75 in Rosslyn and would build one into my Metrobus trip out to Dulles Airport before a flight. You're right - a bit of poetic license about the geography...the Greater Washington area can be a puzzle to outsiders. Happy cooking and dining in 2025!
Great advice then and great advice now! Yummy. Far better than pizza and coke on which I’ve often relied! Happy new year and keep on writing your great Substack!

Pizza cold for breakfast can be good general medicine...Thank you, thank you for reading Tabled! May 2025 bring you what you hope for.
Phở yes!
Possibly my favourite soup/one dish meal.
