“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you might solicit recommendations for fish sandwiches given that this is the season of Lent. I hail from a city known for its fish fries and I would love to have something along those lines here but restaurants are ok too. Bonus points for recs in northern DC so I can get the food home hot.”

“Dear PoPville,
Thanks for your essential work on PoPville. Wondering if the community can help with my search for amazing pork shank in DC. My partner used to love the pork shank at Bistro Bohem in Shaw which is sadly now closed. I’d love any leads for his birthday at the end of the month. Thank you.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m at a loss trying to find a great classic club or turkey club sandwich in DC. Nothing fancy, nothing with avocado. A classic club, toasty bread (3 layers), LT and mayo with fresh crispy bacon. I’m here for all the frilly toothpicks. Who’s got the best? HELP – Anonymous Club Lover”

“Dear PoPville,
With the weather hopefully about to cool down, I was wondering if you could put out a call for all the best restaurants in DC that do soup really well. If there’s any places that soup is the main fare would even be better.”
Hopefully Fainting Goat returns with their masterpiece, “NO SOUP FOR YOU” soon. Personally I love the French Onion soup at Chez Billy Sud. Where are your favorite soups at?
