I blame smart phones. I had convinced myself to order "
The Wellington" (deep roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic, black truffles, with mustard seed, blue cheese and "mojo sauce" on a fresh toasted buttery brioche bun) at
bgr (1514 Connecticut Ave. NW) in Dupont, grumpy that
Rogue States (1300 Connecticut Ave.) still had not reopened and so eager to pamper myself a bit with some fancy forest treats. (Originally, I was going to settle for the standard burger, and double it for $2.) Then the iPhone at the other side of the table had to announce that the uber-haute
truffle is actually just "the fruiting body of an underground mushroom," and after that, the whole burger kinda tasted like mud.
