Thinking of eating at DCA?
I regularly dine at DCA prior to flights. Came across this listing of restaurant health code inspections. From the link, click on "restaurant inspections" then on "Washington National Airport." Keep in mind you might be better off not knowing about some of the nasty stuff going on in the kitchens. Airline club info is strangely lacking in detail.

If you want to check Dulles, follow this URL and click on Loudon County (there's no separate Dulles category):

Actually, quite helpful and interesting. My home kitchen would surely "fail."
Now I have the phone numbers for each of the Clubs at DCA and IAD. I appreciate having "inside" numbers.

Wow, that's really quite informative! I've gotta tip my hat to Arlington both for making those reports accessible and for confidence-inspiring investigations. (Legal Sea Foods routine inspection on 25-FEB-2004 includes this critical catch: "Can opener blade in need of cleaning".)
hile I bet that annoys the halibut out of the restaurant staff, it makes me feel more confident about eating there.

Critical The food establishment serves food that is raw, undercooked, or not otherwise processed to eliminate pathogens and failed to inform consumers of the significantly increased risk associated with certain especially vulnerable consumers eating such foods in raw or undercooked form. (sushi)
They'd better have signs informing customers that "WARNING: The sushi you are about to eat is raw" next time, or I'll have to sue!
(On the other hand, the same inspection spotted a live roach, but this only qualifies as a minor remark...)

Last time I tried to eat at DCA I parked me bride in Legal Seafoods whilst I worked baggage claim. When I joined her with the bags, she still had neither drink nor menu. Now I understand why Legal Seafood wasn't busy!
We dined that nlight on Bulgogi at Woo Lae Oak at the end of 15th st. in Crystal City. Doubt if I'll ever plan to dine at DCA or any embodiement of Legal Seafo]od again. Thoere are too many good eateries to put up with a crappy one.
