Tom Sietsema on Pulpo

Washington Post critic Tom Sietsema didn't hold back in today's online chat when a reader asked if buying a half-price coupon at Pulpo in Cleveland Park was a good idea. "Let's put it this way: My one meal there was so disappointing — the signature octopus looked like a prop from an old sci-fi movie, the ceviches were a travesty — I didn't even bother to write it up as a First Bite preview." —Adele Chapin [WaPo]
